The Dallas Cowboys have a serious financial dilemma right now as they prepare at training camp for the upcoming NFL season.
Arguably their three best players — pass rusher Micah Parsons, wide receiver CeeDee Lamb and quarterback Dak Prescott — are all due for contract extensions, and it was a major reason they did very little in free agency while allowing multiple key players to leave.
There is a growing feeling that Prescott will have to play out the final year of his contract and then become a free agent next offseason, and former NFL player LeSean Mccoy feels Dallas should prioritize Lamb and Parsons over Prescott in contract talks, per FanDuel TV.

While Prescott led the league in passing touchdowns and was briefly a leading MVP candidate last season, he continually underperforms in the playoffs, and there is no reason to think he will change that unfortunate habit any time soon.
Over the last couple of years, Lamb has become an elite WR, and he caught a league-high 135 passes in 2023, allowing him to pile up 1,749 receiving yards and 12 receiving touchdowns (14 overall).
He has made the Pro Bowl in each of the last three seasons, and in 2023, he was named to the All-Pro First Team for the first time.
Parsons has been a Pro Bowler in each of his three seasons in the NFL, and last year, he had 14.0 sacks, 33 quarterback hits and 18 tackles for loss while finishing third in the Defensive Player of the Year balloting.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones will have to get creative in order to figure out how to keep Lamb, Parsons and Prescott while still fielding a very competitive roster.
