10. Randall Cobb: Maybe this is premature, because Cobb hasn't even played a down for the Cowboys. But if he's healthy, there's every reason to believe he can make a big impact for this offense. The veteran is entering his ninth season, which likely puts him on the downside of his career. If he merits an extension in Dallas, what might it look like?

9. Xavier Woods: The third-year safety is in the same boat as Chidobe Awuzie. He has proven himself as a solid starter, and he is the one of the only safeties on this team with multiple years remaining on his deal. Perhaps the front office could save some money by re-signing him early?

8. Chidobe Awuzie: This is a nod toward the future. Awuzie is only halfway through his rookie deal, but this Dallas secondary has a lot of moving parts. Chido is one of the only corners on this team who is under contract beyond the 2019 season. Should the Cowboys try to lock him up long-term, for stability's sake?

7. Anthony Brown: A sneaky priority. Brown has been a regular starter inside and outside since he was drafted in 2016, and his deal expires after the season. He's not a Pro Bowler, but he has been a valuable member of this defense. Is that enough to justify an extension, or does his future lie elsewhere?

6. La'el Collins: Take a look at what offensive tackles are making on the open market, and it's hard to imagine the Cowboys can afford to keep Collins. They could potentially franchise tag him, but it sounds tough to sign the fifth-year veteran to a long-term extension. One way or another, Collins is likely to get paid in a big way in 2020.

5. Jaylon Smith: Smith's redshirt season in 2016 changes things a bit. He is currently slated for restricted free agency, which means the Cowboys can assign him a tender to prevent other clubs from signing him away. That's only a short-term solution, though, and the bottom line is that Smith looks like he's headed for a massive pay day by 2021 – if not sooner.

4. Byron Jones: The All-Pro corner tends to get lost in the shuffle behind all the other pending contracts, but he is in need one a new one, as well. Jones looks set to play out the end of his rookie contract in 2019, and it's anyone's guess how things play out from there. Could he be a candidate for the franchise tag in 2020?

3. Ezekiel Elliott: As a first-round draft pick, the fifth-year option keeps Zeke under contract for two more seasons. Still, his obvious talent – not to mention the physical nature of the running back position – make him a candidate for a new deal. Would his history with disciplinary issues affect his ability to get one?

2. Amari Cooper: Another conversation that will bear monitoring during training camp. Cooper is playing on a fifth-year option, and a new deal would actually lower his salary cap hit. The Cowboys traded a first-round pick for their Pro Bowl receiver, but that decision only makes sense if they can get him signed long-term.

1. Dak Prescott: This one is obvious. Prescott's contract negotiations have been a dominant storyline of 2019, as his rookie deal is set to expire after this season. The quarterback market is blowing up, and Prescott figures to cash in for more than $30 million per year. This negotiation is something to watch as the Cowboys get to training camp.
