The Cowboys signed DeMarcus Lawrence to a lucrative new deal this offseason, but the team still has a ways to go in keeping its stars happy.

Ezekiel Elliot, Dak Prescott, Amari Cooper, and Byron Jones all have expressed interest in a new deal, as well.

Jason Garrett, who is entering the final year of his own contract, doesn’t see the need to talk to any of his players about their contract status.

“The business of football always exists,” Garrett said Sunday night during the 15th annual Taste of the Cowboys. “It is professional football, and that’s always a part of it. The best teams I’ve been around are ones where players are able to say, ‘I need to focus on this; I need to focus on football, playing my best, and all of that stuff will take care of itself.’ We have a team made up of the right kind of guys.”

“We spent a lot of time trying to build this team the right way, bringing the right kind of people to our organization, and they handle those situations really, really well. Their involvement in the offseason program has been off the charts. The leadership from all levels of our team … Typically, you talk about leaders being more veteran players, but we have a lot of young players on our team who have stepped into leadership roles and done a fantastic job and have set the pace for everybody. So that’s really where our focus is. The business side will take care of itself.”

All of that being said, it will be interesting to see what the Cowboys are able to do this season. They have the talent to win the division again, but everyone has to come together and put their contract situations aside.
