Dallas can create more salary cap relief with an extension for the quarterback, who is coming off a wild-card defeat at their stadium against the Packers that dropped his postseason record to 2-5.

The franchise will continue to persuade Dak to ink a deal extension.

While Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has shared that the organization aims to keep the quarterback, the franchise GM hasn’t spoken the same way he did 3 years ago before inking his organization’s quarterback to a franchise-record 160 million dollar, 4-year deal.

Committing to Pak beyond the upcoming campaign would make it easier to get contracts done with Lamb and Parsons.
