The contracts of receiver Amari Cooper and quarterback Dak Prescott will expire after this season. Running back Ezekiel Elliott is under contract through 2020 after the Cowboys exercised the fifth-year option on his deal.The Cowboys Cheap Maliek Collins Youth Jersey , though, hope to extend all three players sooner than later, with executive vice president Stephen Jones saying the team is “off and running” in contract talks.“It’s a great problem to have, because we do have good young football players,” Jones said. “But it’s a challenge.”The Cowboys got a long-term deal completed with defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence that made him (temporarily) the highest-paid player in team history. Cooper, Prescott and Elliott have combined for seven Pro Bowls and all are looking at deals that will make them among the highest-paid at their positions.Jones isn’t worried about there being enough money to go around, though he added that the deals need to be team friendly for the Cowboys to have salary-cap room that will allow them to contend. The more successful the Cowboys are, Jones said, the more money players can make off the field in endorsements.Prescott, a fourth-round pick White Ezekiel Elliott Jersey , has made more off the field than he has in his NFL contract thus far.“Obviously, I feel very good that we’re going easily work through – when I say easily, that’s a bad word to use – but we’re going to strategically work through getting guys like Dak and Amari and Zeke done,” Jones said. “I think we can still do others. It’s not like we’re going not be able to get that accomplished. But at the same time, as I told DeMarcus Lawrence — and I’ll tell all three of these guys – I’d love for you to max out and give you exactly what you want, because y’all have worked hard and you deserve to have a big contract, but if we want to put together the type of team we want to have with the Cowboys [then there has to be some give and take]. That’s not their job. It’s not their job to manage the cap. I understand that. But it is my job and Jerry [Jones’] job, so they will understand why we’re negotiating hard to make the very best deal we can, because the money, if we can talk them into not maxing out – doing well Ezekiel Elliott Jersey 2019 , but not maxed – then that allows us to have other good football players around them.“We all know what happens. You look at the TV booths, and you look at what these players do off the field. If we can put Super Bowl rings on these guys, then they’ll be legends around this area for many, many, many years to come. What they give up a little bit in their contract, they should be able to invest in being a Cowboy and making our teams better. Now, we’ve got to go get the job done as an organization, which means winning Super Bowls and doing great things on the field.” Looking at the offensive line in Dallas." />Skip to main contentclockmenumore-arrownoyesHorizontal - WhiteBlogging The BoysBlogging The Boys, a Dallas Cowboys fan communityLog In or Sign UpLog InSign UpFanpostsFanshotsSectionsLibraryCowboysOddsShopAboutMastheadCommunity GuidelinesStubHubMoreAll 322 blogs on Horizontal - WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections Dallas Cowboys NewsFiled under:Dallas Cowboys GeneralCowboys OL breakdown: Can the offensive line in Dallas regain its old form?New,65commentsLooking at the offensive line in Dallas.CDTShareTweetShareShareCowboys OL breakdown: Can the offensive line in Dallas regain its old form?Jerome Miron-USA TODAY SportsContinuing our series of looking at positional groups. Today Dallas Cowboys Randy Gregory Jersey , we look at the big uglies.The Dallas Cowboys built its team by drafting offensive linemen in high rounds. Tyron Smith was a top-ten pick back in 2011, while fellow All-Pros Zack Martin and Travis Frederick were also selected on the draft’s first day. Connor Williams was a top-50 pick, La’el Collins was thought to be a potential first-rounder before some off-field news clouded his stock, and the team added Connor McGovern with its second selection this year.2014 and 2016 were two highlights of The Great Wall of Dallas, as the team ran the ball down opponents’ throats and enforced its will week in and week out. While the team is still built through the run game, the offensive line has taken a step back since Dak Prescott’s and Ezekiel Elliott’s rookie season. That can be attributed to continuity issues, coaching changes, inexperience, and most certainly injuries.The good news is that the Cowboys could have its center back for the upcoming season. Joe Looney played well at times last season, but there is a clear difference between he and three-time All-Pro center Frederick. If Frederick is back in the fold Youth Robert Newhouse Jersey , that should only improve the Cowboys’ rushing attack as well as give more time for Dak Prescott to find the open man. The StartersTyron Smith is one of the most dominant left tackles in the game. While he is not on the level in which he was during his prime, Smith is still an above average offensive tackle and the offense feels his loss when he is not in the game. Zack Martin is the best offensive guard in football, as the All-Pro opens up running lanes for Ezekiel Elliott and helps protect quarterback Dak Prescott. Martin did get banged up last season, but there is no reason to expect Martin to be less than his All-Pro self.La’el Collins will be anchoring the right tackle spot for the Dallas Cowboys, a position that he has played at since playing left guard for the first three games of 2016 (prior to injury and the emergence of Ron Leary). While some argue the former LSU Tigers lineman should be moved back to the inside, the Cowboys appear to be set on Collins locking down the opposite side of Smith.The real battle of the offensive line is the left guard position. Dallas spent its second-round selection on Coppell native Connor Williams in 2018 and then selected Penn State’s Connor McGovern in the third this April. Williams had bright spots last season, but it was clear that he still needed to adjust to the NFL level — which is to be expected, of course. McGovern finished a productive career with Penn State before the Cowboys grabbed him with the 90th pick. Dane Brugler had this to say about the Cowboys’ draft pick, even saying that he is the “best player” that Dallas drafted:That will be a situation to keep an eye on: who starts next to Tyron? With Xavier Sua’Filo expected to be in the fold as well, the Cowboys should have some good competition for that spot.Obviously Robert Newhouse Jersey Stitched , the biggest storyline regarding the offensive line heading into 2019 is the health of Travis Frederick. If Fred is back — and is anywhere close to what he used to be — that will mean big things for the offense as a whole. Looney, as mentioned above, filled in nicely in 2018, but there is a difference between those two centers in talent and even making sure everybody is in their correct position and assignment.The Cowboys seem primed to take the next step. Dak is fully entrenched behind center, Amari Cooper has a full offseason within the organization, and Randall Cobb looks to add another weapon to the offense. Jason Witten is back in the locker room and Zeke is Zeke. Kellen Moore is expected to add some wrinkles to this offense, but there is no denying how important the front five are for the success of this team. How will the offensive line perform in 2019?
