The Dallas Cowboys had yet another poor season finale; you would think that, particularly in light of Jerry Jones’s “all in” remarks, they would have accomplished more than they have so far. What are the Cowboys doing, people? The “all in” remarks made by owner Jerry Jones are well known, and I’m sure they thrilled Cowboys supporters.
The Cowboys have finished 12-5 in the regular season the past three years, but like most years, they were unable to get past the Divisional Round in the playoffs. What we’ve seen from the Cowboys thus far should make every other NFC club take notice, especially with the present coaching staff in the final year of their contracts and Jones saying the franchise was going all in.
They have made four moves in free agency, according to NFL.com’s free agency tracker. Those moves include signing RB Rico Dowdle, LB Erick Kendricks, CB Jourdan Lewis, and LS Trent Sieg.
Yeah, that’s it. If you’re a Cowboys fan, it’s probably hard to get very excited over four underwhelming moves. The team is likely to extend Dak Prescott, and both CeeDee Lamb and Micah Parsons also need contract extensions. The Dallas Cowboys are a bit tight on the salary cap, so that could be a huge reason why they have not at all been active in free agency.
Notably, they lost Dan Quinn, as he left to be the head coach of the Washington Commanders. Their new defensive coordinator, Mike Zimmer, is certainly a strong defensive mind, but it’s reasonable to think that the defense could take a step back in year one with Zimmer. And with the Cowboys getting worse at running back, offensive line, and wide receiver this offseason, the 2024 season could be shaping up to be a rough one for head coach Mike McCarthy.
