As the Dallas Cowboys prepare for their upcoming training camp, the focus is on key players seeking contract extensions. Stars like Micah Parsons, DaRon Bland, Tyler Smith, and Brandon Aubrey are in the spotlight, particularly as teams across the league are dishing out record-breaking deals. The recent signing of Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner to a historic $120.4 million contract underscores the escalating market for elite players, particularly at the cornerback position.

Parsons, an All-Pro linebacker, is likely to command a significant payday, given his pivotal role in the Cowboys' defense. Similarly, Smith's performance as an offensive guard and Aubrey's impact as a kicker are critical components of the team's success. Dallas will need to navigate these negotiations carefully, balancing financial commitments with their aspirations for a championship run.
