Trevon Diggs allows a lot of yards, but creates turnovers. Is an extension guaranteed?

 Every week until the regular season, this series will put the spotlight on a key, but not fully established Cowboys player who is still on his way to his finished form. It will try to examine where his journey has gone so far, where 2022 might take him and beyond. Last week in this series, we profiled the case of Dalton Schultz. Schultz has a much more complex case to consider when you look at his franchise tag designation and the big bucks that go with it.

Did 2019 give the Cowboys any difficult contract decisions?

 One last piece here before the Dallas Cowboys climb on the airplane to California that will double as our assumption of what might be a meeting at the Star during the offseason between those who are in charge of the finances. It is time to begin to get our affairs in order for the next group that comes down the "conveyor belt of talent" and puts the franchise in a decision-making process with each of a draft class that is completing its final season of its rookie year.

The Cowboys and Dalton Schultz: Where we have been and where we are headed

 Every week until the regular season, this series will put the spotlight on a key, but not fully established Cowboys player who is still on his way to his finished form. It will try to examine where his journey has gone so far, where 2022 might take him and beyond. Dalton Schultz was the 10th tight end taken in the 2018 NFL Draft and, at pick 137, he certainly was much better than his draft spot.

The Cowboys didn't win up front on either side in the playoff loss to the 49ers

 One thing I make a point in doing every July is to rewatch the end of the previous year. I stole this idea from watching "Breaking Bad," "Better Call Saul" or even when "Game of Thrones" would finally give us a new season after being away for far too long. I have to remember where we left things. Where were the main characters? What pickle did the bad guys put us in as the screen froze and we faded away into the offseason? In TV shows, we often don't have anything occur.
