Three key Cowboys draft picks in 2022 draft class are in position to sign extensions.

Tyler Smith , Jake Ferguson and DaRon Bland are about to enter the final year of their respective rookie contracts.

The Cowboys created more than $55 million in cap space for a reason, although it has not led to a high-priced signing of an outside free agent yet.

An extension would actually lower Parsons' 2025 salary cap figure.

The Cowboys have said their goal is to sign Parsons for the long term.

Parsons is under contractual control through 2028 , if they choose to use the franchise tag.

If they need the tag for Parsons, then they won't have one for Smith , Ferguson or Bland next March .
