1. Dallas Cowboys

The Cowboys are having a great 2016 season, due in part to the efforts of rookie quarterback Dak Prescott and his likely establishment as the quarterback of the future. Tony Romo could stay around as a backup next season, but a trade or an eventual release come March is far more likely.

Wide receiver Terrance Williams is slated to become a free agent in 2017, so he could easily seek a big contract and a better opportunity elsewhere. Dez Bryant is obviously in place as the Cowboys’ No. 1 wide receiver, but finding a legit second fiddle could be on the offseason radar if Williams is not re-signed.

Cowboys’ owner Jerry Jones love star power, and if/when Romo’s absence clears room he won’t stand for a lot of unused salary cap space with potential needs to fill. Fitzgerald fits the bill as a star, if only by his high level of production without a brash, over the top personality, and the Cowboys would fit his criteria as a championship contender.
