When it comes to in-house situations, the looming extension for Parsons is front and center. The star pass rusher is entering the final year of his contract after the Cowboys picked up his fifth-year option last offseason, and is in line to receive an extension that will likely make him the highest-paid non-quarterback in the league.

The Cowboys looked to replace Hall of Fame quarterback Troy Aikman’s top target after Michael Irvin sustained a career-ending spinal cord injury against Philadelphia in 1999. Dallas acquired Seattle Seahawks receiver Joey Galloway for two first-round picks and signed him to a seven-year, $42 million contract.
