Kate Hairopoulos: Already thinking ahead to the off-season, huh? The Super Bowl is still some 40 days away:) I can tick off a couple storylines that come to mind: bunch of players in the secondary whose contracts are up after this season….Will LB Jaylon Smith’s nerve in his knee regenerate after a full year? ….Will the Cowboys decide to invest in a defensive pass rusher? ….Will Dak be able to repeat and sustain his rookie success? …Will Cowboys be able to sign OG Zack Martin to a long-term deal? ….Whatever Jerry happens to stir up. ….I could go on.
