Jerry's Cowboys Should Sign These Five Stars Immediately
FRISCO - We're speaking more about philosophy here than we are logistics … and as much about mindset as we are money.

But having established that?
Yes, we pretty much mean it when we say that Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys have five superstars waiting to get paid …
And that this franchise needs to update. It's thinking and accelerate. It's action and sign. All five of them as soon as possible…
Like, today.
CowboysCountry.com's Landon Holifield is offering up some disturbing financial facts about the differences between the way the Philadelphia Eagles and the Cowboys do their salary cap business.
Two critical points …
One, the gold-standard Eagles have 10 players making $10 million or more. Dallas has half that.

Two, the Eagles "use the credit card'' to manipulate the cap and have a whopping $452 million in future void year allocations. Dallas has .. just $44 million in future void years.
As Lando points out, the Cowboys are simply refusing to use every tool (or loophole) available to win now.
Our Mike Fisher, in the Fish Report video below, pushes for change.
Immediately.
"The salary cap is simply about a budget and therefore 'Cap Hell' is a myth,'' Fish says. "The Cowboys have five stars who are soon due new deals. Waiting ends up costing Dallas; spending now - with the 'future credit card' - means more affordable contracts.

"Want to beat the cap? Want to rally the locker room? Want to solidify the future? Pull into Jerry's office Micah Parsons, Tyler Smith, DaRon Bland and George Pickens and Brandon Aubrey and offer them their inevitable top-of-the-market deals. ...
"But do it now, Jerry.''
Could this literally be accomplished? All the guys? All the money? All in one day?
Logistically, that's obviously a toughie.
But should it be the mindset of Jerry and Stephen Jones and their roster-building cap-management work?
The Philadelphia Eagles know that answer. The Joneses should, too.

Ex-NFL QB Utters Bold Take on Cowboys' Standoff With Micah Parsons
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Over the past two weeks, the biggest storyline in the NFL has been Micah Parsons' standoff with the Dallas Cowboys. In light of the latest developments, one former quarterback gave a shocking observation of the situation. Parsons has been a pillar for the Cowboys on the defensive side of the ball, developing into one of the league's top talents. Now eligible for an extension, the All-Pro linebacker is eager to lock down a new deal. Despite Parsons being such a high-level talent, Dallas has opted to drag things out like they've done in the past with Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb. This approach has come with some drawbacks, mainly Parsons growing more frustrated with the organization. Things reached a fever pitch earlier this month when Parsons decided to request a trade due to little to no progress being made in contract negotiations.

More Photo by/Getty Images Since Parsons told the world of his trade request via a viral social media post, he remains at odds with the Cowboys. Recent reports have stated that he and owner Jerry Jones haven't spoken since he voiced his desire to be moved out of Dallas. With there being no end in sight to this standoff, Dan Orlovsky gave his thoughts on the situation during Monday's episode of ESPN's Get Up. The former NFL quarterback thinks the issues stem down to a personal level, not just business. "I don't think they like him," Orlovsky said of the Cowboys. "I don't think they like each other. I could be dead wrong...A lot of money stuff gets personal. There's something that feels like he doesn't like them, they don't like him. It is a personal dislike that isn't attached to just money. Trade request was 10 days ago and we haven't talked?" "I don't think they like each other." —@danorlovsky7 on Micah Parsons and the Cowboys — Get Up (@GetUpESPN) August 11, 2025 Also read: Dallas Cowboys TE Makes Positive Statement Amid Injury Scare Even though the relationship between the organization and star player seems to be tethered, a trade is an unlikely outcome at this point. The Cowboys have made it clear that they don't want to move on from Parsons. That said, the two sides have a lot of work to do to repair things after a rocky couple of months. Parsons remains with the team, but remains limited due to a back ailment. With the start of the regular season about three weeks away, it remains unclear if the star linebacker will be on the field for Dallas in Week 1.

CeeDee Lamb fantasy football preview 2025: Stats, season outlook, predictions
Rotoworld Staff, CeeDee Lamb 2025 Fantasy Football Snapshot Lamb lost momentum early as Prescott's injury and his own shoulder issue impacted his 2024 production. Prescott's return plus George Pickens' arrival should open up the offense. Lamb is poised for another WR1 finish in a pass-heavy Dallas attack, making him a first-round fantasy lock. Get personalized fantasy football insights based on your league settings with FantasyLife+. Your league is unique, your advice should be too. Head to and use code ROTO20 for 20% off. 2024: Coming off a breakout year with 1,745 receiving yards and a dozen touchdowns plus another 113 yards and two scores as a runner, Lamb set the bar high for his 2024 campaign. Any hopes of an encore quickly went down the drain as the Cowboys' offense got off to a sluggish start and Lamb went six weeks without a 100-yard performance through the air. He finally erupted for 146 yards and two scores in Week 8, but Dak Prescott went down for the year with a hamstring issue the next week, sending Lamb's season packing. Lamb gutted things out through a shoulder injury until the final two weeks, which he mercifully took off. What's changed: Lamb wasn't dreadful with Rush under center, but his 21.3 PPR average in Prescott starts last year speaks for itself. Assuming Prescott plays a full year, a rebound is all but certain. That is even with George Pickens joining the team via a trade with the Steelers. Pickens dominated targets in Pittsburgh but should still settle in as the WR2 in Dallas. 2025 Outlook: The Cowboys are set up to pass early and often in 2025. Prescott is the league's highest-paid quarterback and Lamb is the third-highest-paid wideout. Dallas traded for a real No. 2 receiver and spent next to nothing on their backfield during the offseason. It's a similar setup to 2023 when Lamb ranked second in the league in receiving yards and Prescott hit third on the charts in passing yards. Lamb is a no-brainer first-round pick in fantasy drafts. **Projections from Spotlight Sports Group Go to: All players | QBs | RBs | WRs | TEs
