Obviously, a great deal hinges upon what the Cowboys will have to pony up to retain Claiborne. If they're able to retain him for a moderate cost, I'm pretty confident that they'll see fit to keep him for another year. Of course, there's a limit to what they'll be agreeable to spend to keep him in tow. If Mo is agreeable to keep his demands reasonably modest, I think it's entirely possible he'll be back for another season.
There's also a fair chance that someone like Anthony Brown will be afforded the opportunity to compete with Mo to claim a starter's role. If Mo is signed to a moderately sized contract, that would likely allow the staff to welcome him back, regardless of his role. If not, he'll probably be left free to sign with another team. The Cowboys aren't obliged to pay handsomely for someone who's unlikely to be available on a regular basis.
According to his own words, he wants to return to Dallas as a team he's comfortable with. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see him return for another year in 2017. He might very well be best suited for backup duty rather than a starter, due to his durability issues. Anyhow, we'll see in due time.
