Dak Prescott

While Stephen Jones recently stated that signing Prescott will be their No. 1 option, Prescott is predicting a “wild” offseason.

Amari Cooper

Another priority is Amari Cooper, who hits free agency soon. Could he be franchise tagged.

Dez Bryant

While he wants to play for the Cowboys next season, it’s highly unlikely. However, with his impressive recent work-outs and his stable mentality, he should land on a team somewhere.

Jamaal Adams

Here is where things will really begin to start sizzling as the Cowboys will be rekindling discussions with the New York Jets. Last season, the Cowboys attempted a solid offer but the Jets were requesting a bit too much, asking for a first-round pick and two second-round picks. Adams signed a four-year deal worth $22.25 million on July 20, 2017.

First-Round Draft Pick

The Cowboys will be looking intensively at three top safety prospects if they fail at obtaining Adams. The top three are Isaiah Simmons (Clemson), Grant Delpit (LSU), and Xavier McKinney (Alabama).

Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA)

There has been a sense of urgency to reach a deal between the players’ union and the owners. There are three things that could drastically stall the talks. The CBA is looking to feature a 17-game season, shorter pre-season, and possibly an extended playoff field. A recent memo was issued to the NFL Players Association that would include an increase in guaranteed revenue and minimum salaries, performance-based pay, injury protections and benefits for the practice squad players. The owners are also willing to decrease fines for on-field violations, modify the drug and disciplinary policies, and increase player benefits.
