After two weeks at Cowboys training camp and a lot of careful scrutiny, I am arriving at a rather ominous idea that won’t get out of my way.



It doesn’t relate to the new offense or how Dallas will finally find more touchdowns in the red zone. It isn’t about how the Cowboys defense takes the next step to excellence. I’m not even talking about the shaky kicker situation, the risky decisions at backup quarterback and how Travis Frederick recovers from his year-long illness.



From what I can tell, every discussion with Cowboys personnel or officials — on or off the record — seems to quickly gravitate to the numerous contract situations for the main characters in the 2019 Cowboys story. You may be aware that Ezekiel Elliott needs a new deal, and instead of being with his mates, he has elected to hold out in Cabo. We will overlook the mystical and somewhat haunting label Cabo has gained in Cowboys football lore over the years.



You...
