The 2020 NFL season is almost done. With only the Super Bowl left to play, franchises in the league are already planning for the season ahead.

For some franchises, there won’t be much roster changes. While for others, the changes will be wholesale. One team among the latter are the Dallas Cowboys. America’s team has endured a difficult 2020 season. Falling to a 6-10 record, the Cowboys had a season to forget under head coach Mike McCarthy.

But a new season brings new promise. The Cowboys need to regroup. Getting rid of the deadwood will be crucial to building a team capable of challenging for the Lombardi Trophy.

With the contracts of 17 players up in the air, we look at the players the Cowboys should resign for 2021.

Dallas Cowboys need to lock these players down

Dak Prescott (QB) – This one really comes as a no brainer. Prescott was the shining light in the Cowboys season which was full of disappointments. And many believe that if he were fit through the course of the season, the Cowboys wouldn’t have suffered the fate they did.

Entering the prime of his career, the Cowboys’ management’s key focus should be on anchoring down their star quarterback for the years to come.

Joe Looney (C) – Looney has been a vital part of the Cowboys offensive line over the past three seasons. While many believe that Tyler Biadasz will be given the nod ahead of him for 2021, it’s not a bad idea to have a veteran centre like Looney to play back up ever once in a while.

C.J. Goodwin (LB) – Goodwin was arguably the Cowboys’ best linebacker in 2020. Given his versatile nature, he’s been an asset to the side’s special team’s unit as well.

Andy Dalton (QB) – In Dalton, the Dallas Cowboys have arguably the best back up QB in the league. And having a quarterback of his caliber in the roster is vital for a side challenging for the Super Bowl.

Tyrone Crawford – (DL) –  Crawford’s versatility is what should convince the Cowboys to resign the defensive linesman. Though injuries have been plaguing him since 2019, it’s not a stretch to imagine him going back to his best when fit and healthy.

Cowboys fans, do you feel we missed out anyone in this list? Or who else would you be willing to see your side let go off for 2021?
