cowboys vp stephen jones on roster: 'we maxed out our salary cap'
Extensions for Prescott and Lamb would decrease their salary cap figures for 2024. Prescott currently counts $55.4 million against the cap, while Lamb is set to count $17.99 million thanks to the fifth-year option on his rookie deal. Prescott is set to become an unrestricted free agent after this season, with the Cowboys unable to use the franchise tag on him.

Dak Prescott not sweating pace of Cowboys contract talks
If the Dallas Cowboys are in no rush to sign Dak Prescott to a long-term extension, then that's fine with the quarterback. Prescott said negotiations have not really begun with the Cowboys on a new deal, although he had what he termed a "great conversation" with owner and general manager Jerry Jones about a month ago. Prescott is entering the final year of a four-year, $160 million deal he signed in 2021 and is set to count $55.4 million against the salary cap. The Cowboys cannot use the franchise tag on him after this year, and he has a no-trade clause. In 2019, Prescott played out the final year of his rookie deal and was given the franchise tag in 2020. He suffered a dislocated and fractured right ankle in the fifth game of that season but still signed the most lucrative deal in franchise history.

cowboys trade down, get tyler guyton at no. 29 in nfl draft
The Cowboys had a chance to select Duke center Graham Barton but opted to trade down, giving up the 24th overall pick and a 2025 seventh-round selection in exchange for the Lions' first- and third-round picks this year (Nos. 29 and 73).
*******
Guyton becomes the fifth offensive lineman the Cowboys have selected in the first round since 2011, joining Tyron Smith, Travis Frederick (2013), Zach Martin (2014) and Tyler Smith (2022). All four have been selected to the Pro Bowl, while Tyron Smith and Martin have built Hall of Fame careers.

cowboys closer to ezekiel elliott reunion amid rb shortage
Elliott led the Patriots last season with 642 rushing yards on 184 carries with three touchdowns. He also had a team-high 51 catches for 313 yards and two scores. His 642 yards, however, were a career low.
********
From 2016 to 2022 with the Cowboys, Elliott ran for 8,262 yards, third most in team history behind Hall of Famers Emmitt Smith and Tony Dorsett. He led the NFL in rushing in 2016 and 2018 but has not topped 1,000 yards since 2021 (1,002). He was named an All-Pro once and was selected to the Pro Bowl three times.

Sources: Ezekiel Elliott, Cowboys reuniting with 1-year deal
Ezekiel Elliott has reached a one-year deal with the Dallas Cowboys that has a maximum value of $3 million, sources told ESPN on Monday, reuniting him with the franchise that took him with the fourth overall pick in the 2016 NFL draft. Elliott's return calls to mind Herschel Walker's second stint with the Cowboys. Walker was the Cowboys' leading rusher from 1986 to '89 before his famous trade to the Minnesota Vikings that helped Dallas turn into a three-time Super Bowl champion in the 1990s under Jimmy Johnson. He returned to the Cowboys in 1996, seeing action behind Emmitt Smith while being the lead kickoff returner. From 2016 to '22 with the Cowboys, Elliott ran for 8,262 yards. The three-time Pro Bowler set team rookie records with 1,631 yards and posted 30 100-yard games in his time with the Cowboys. He also led the NFL in rushing in 2016 and 2018 but has not topped 1,000 yards since 2020 (1,002).

Cowboys to decline Trey Lance's fifth-year option, source says
Unsurprisingly, the Dallas Cowboys will decline to pick up the fifth-year option on quarterback Trey Lance, a source told ESPN. That decision was essentially made in August when the Cowboys acquired Lance from the San Francisco 49ers for a 2024 fourth-round pick. Had the Cowboys picked up the option, it would have cost $22.4 million, been fully guaranteed and been at odds with the club's stated preference of keeping Dak Prescott after 2024. As it stands, the Cowboys do not have a quarterback on their roster signed beyond this season, with Prescott, Lance and Copper Rush set to hit unrestricted free agency in March. The Cowboys are unable to use the franchise tag on Prescott, and the quarterback recently said talks had not really started on an extension.

Ezekiel Elliott on Cowboys return: 'Got unfinished business'
When Ezekiel Elliott was introduced to the crowd at Riders Field before the Reliant Energy Home Run Derby Wednesday, it was as if Elliott was home again. Elliott signed a one-year deal with the Dallas Cowboys on Tuesday and has been part of the on-field workouts this week after spending last year with the New England Patriots. "It was just important to me just to get back here and finish what I started," Elliott said at the Cowboys' annual fundraiser.
"At the end of the day I'm a football player. I love this game," Elliott said. "I think I still am a dominant guy. I've got to go out there and prove that. That's a motivation. I think we all know how I feel about competing and leaving it all out there for my teammates." There will be one thing different in Elliott's return. His uniform number will change from the No. 21 he wore in Dallas to the No. 15 he wore in New England and at Ohio State. "I just kind of look at it as a different era," he said. But with the same goal as before. "Got unfinished business," he said. "Here to chase the ring."
