The Dallas Cowboys' season ended just 16 days ago, and they're already in the midst of their longest offseason in a while.
It may seem strange to outsiders that this is the case, considering Dallas went 12-5 and won the NFC East in 2023, their second championship in three years. Heck, in between that bread, he even had a 12-5 season (three years in a row), earned a wild card berth, and defeated Tom Brady's team in that particular round. Masu.
All of this is great, except when you remember that Tom Brady's team is a long way from winning the Super Bowl with the sub-.500 Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and it's Dallas' only playoff win in four years. I can hear you. He will stretch out under head coach Mike McCarthy. Mike was brought in to help the team get through the hurdles of the Divisional Round, but he's only gotten there once.
All of these reasons have made Cowboys fans rather fed up with the team and especially pessimistic. EVP Stephen Jones also seems to understand this, stating that fans won't truly trust in the team again until they prove it, but in the end, Stephen is the most powerful voice in the room. isn't it.
Jerry Jones did speak at the Senior Bowl on Tuesday, and among other things, he mentioned things that people want to hear but have a hard time believing. According to Jerry, the Cowboys plan to go “all in” in 2024, as transcribed by his mothership Nick Harris.
“Looking at the key contracts that we want to deal with, we expect to go all in. We expect to go all in at the end of this year. So if you say, do you have any ideas? … We will eliminate it once and for all.”
“It's going to be all about different people. We're going to go all out. We've seen some things in some of our players that we want to go all out for. Yes, instead of building for the future, we'll see you next year. This is the best way I've ever said it. And it should answer a lot of questions.”
These words sound great, but saying them in late January is much different than acting on them in March. They've been talking for a very long time, so it's time for the Cowboys to move on.
Even if the Cowboys are indeed going to push things “full steam ahead” in 2024, we still don't know what that means exactly (Jerry's words are very vague, to say the least) ). Certain reshuffles could create more salary cap space, including quarterback Dak Prescott, but what to do with it will obviously be part of the overall equation. Jerry also mentioned Duck, CeeDee Lamb, and Micah Parsons.
What do you think about Jerry's comments? Do you believe him at all? Why or why not?
