Jerry Jones and Co. still have Dak Prescott, Ezekiel Elliott, and Amari Cooper (The new triplets! Bet you’ve never heard that before!) to take care of, the price of doing business is rising in the DFW metroplex.While the Cowboys are currently trying to work on a long-term contract extension with their franchise quarterback, they’re also trying to get things taken care of with the wide receiver who they spent a first-rounder on, Amari Cooper. According to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram though Ezekiel Elliott Jersey White , those talks may not be moving in any direction for now. They reported on Monday that things are still waiting to get off of the ground as far as Cooper goes (unlike his game, thankfully).This isn’t the biggest of deals if we’re being honest with ourselves. It was unlikely that the Cowboys and Cooper (who has an enormous amount of leverage having saved last season) were going to strike gold on one of their first hunts. This is a process.It’s worth mentioning that if Dallas only locks up one between Prescott and Cooper that their options are still well in tow for next offseason. 2020 allows NFL teams to use both the franchise and transition tags so the Cowboys could hit whichever of the two that they don’t (hypothetically) lock up with the franchise tag in the offseason, and then they could still use the transition tag on someone else like Byron Jones if they felt inclined to do so.For now, we wait. And Cooper works. See for yourself.He’s worth whatever he’s going to get. Last year, the Rams gave running back Todd Gurley a contract that the Rams now surely regret. This year, running back Ezekiel Elliott wants even more from the Cowboys.Charles Robinson of Yahoo Sports reports that Elliott hopes to surpass the four-year, $57.5 million extension given to Gurley. (That’s a new-money average of $14.375 million per year.) It’s unclear whether the Cowboys are willing to go there Womens Taco Charlton Jersey , especially if Elliott is looking for the same kind of structure, with Gurley having $34.5 million fully guaranteed by March 2019 and the Rams facing a decision on whether to fully guarantee Gurley another $10.5 million by March 2020. Also, most of Gurley’s fully guaranteed money is not subject to offset language.It’s also unclear whether and to what extent the two sides are making progress. The indications continue to be that COO Stephen Jones, who dubbed Elliott earlier this year “the straw, if you will, that stirs our drink,” is handling these talks on his own Taco Charlton Jersey , with no one below him in the organization involved or even aware of what’s going on.Later today, we’ll all be aware as to whether Jones and Elliott’s agent, Rocky Arceneaux, have made enough progress to get Elliott to show up for training camp in California. He already missed the team flight from Dallas, which surely wasn’t accidental or inadvertent. The question now is whether the Cowboys do or say enough to get Elliott to make the trip on his own to Oxnard.Given that it’s much easier under the CBA to hold out than to show up and leave, Elliott shouldn’t show up until he gets it in a written document signed at the bottom by Jerral Wayne Jones.
