As the NFL offseason progresses, Dallas Cowboys fans are usually filled with hope and excitement, dreaming of their team finally making it back to the Super Bowl. However, this year seems to be different. The mood among Cowboys fans is not as optimistic as it has been in previous years. And it’s not hard to see why.
Jerry Jones, the owner and general manager of the Cowboys, had promised to go all-in this offseason in order to give his team the best chance at success. But so far, he has failed to live up to that promise. Instead, he has made some questionable decisions that have left many fans scratching their heads.
One of the biggest moves that has caused concern among Cowboys fans is the departure of key players. The team has let go of several key players, including wide receiver Dez Bryant, cornerback Orlando Scandrick, and kicker Dan Bailey. These were players who had been with the team for years and were important pieces of the puzzle. Their absence will definitely be felt on the field.
But it’s not just the players that have left that are causing worry among fans. It’s also the players that have been brought in to replace them. While the Cowboys did make some moves in free agency, they were not the big splash signings that many fans were hoping for. Instead, they brought in players who are seen as “bargain bin” options, not exactly the type of players that will take the team to the next level.
One person who is not shy about expressing his disappointment with the Cowboys’ offseason is sports analyst Skip Bayless. In a recent episode of his show “Undisputed,” Bayless went as far as to say that Jerry Jones could be sabotaging quarterback Dak Prescott.
Bayless believes that Jones is purposely not giving Prescott the weapons he needs to succeed. He points to the fact that the Cowboys did not draft a wide receiver in the first round of the draft, despite many talented options being available. Instead, they chose to draft a linebacker, a position that was not seen as a priority for the team. Bayless also questions why the team did not make a move for a top wide receiver in free agency, such as Dez Bryant’s replacement, Allen Hurns.
While these may just be speculations, it’s hard to deny that the Cowboys have not done much to improve their offense, which has been their weak spot in recent years. And with Prescott entering his third season in the NFL, it’s important for the team to give him the support he needs to continue his development as a quarterback.
But despite all the doubts and concerns, there is still reason for Cowboys fans to be optimistic. The team still has a solid core of players, including running back Ezekiel Elliott and wide receiver Cole Beasley. And let’s not forget that they still have one of the best offensive lines in the league, which is crucial for the success of any quarterback.
Furthermore, the Cowboys have a new offensive coordinator in Kellen Moore, who is expected to bring a fresh perspective and innovative ideas to the team’s offense. And with the return of tight end Jason Witten, who came out of retirement to rejoin the team, the Cowboys’ passing game could see a significant improvement.
So while Jerry Jones may not have gone all-in this offseason as he promised, there is still hope for the Dallas Cowboys. As fans, we need to trust in the team and believe that they have a plan in place. After all, it’s still early in the offseason and there is plenty of time for the team to make more moves and improve their roster.
In the end, only time will tell if Jerry Jones’ decisions will pay off for the Cowboys. But one thing is for sure, the fans will continue to support and believe in their team, no matter what. And who knows, maybe this could be the year that the Dallas Cowboys surprise everyone and make a run for the Super Bowl.
