Jerrah doesn't bring in outside talent. If he didn't draft 'em, they must not be good.

he GM’d three world championships.  I think you should have more respect for his ability to evaluate players.

I'm not terribly opposed to their direction in free agency so far. They are very unlikely to make a blockbuster move that would take up another massive contract. They are shoring up depth guys that can challenge as potential starters, and they are getting younger. We all like to dream about getting a known big-time player, but that probably isn't the greatest a plan with a team like the Cowboys stage with a lot of holes to fill. They still could ad a guy you've heard of that's pretty good to generate a bit of excitement.

They seem to love former high drafted picks that were disappointing, but not un-useful. They picked up younger guys with starting experience and some versatility in the trenches, that may still have upside. I like the philosophy there. I think there are some differences in what types of players the new coaches prefer in letting some FAs leave.

Keeping both Osa and Gholston was improbable, but they kept the best one. I think they want a different type of player in the DT mix. There are quite a few bigs out there that have been somewhat surprising cuts after some teams have already addressed positions, where the Cowboys might be more tempted at perhaps a better number.

I think the Cowboys will sign a WR, but probably after the dust starts to settle and find a better value for a guy that will be a good addition for a couple of years while they break in some new talent. 

I wish they hadn't been in a hurry to re-sign Turpin, really a luxury player who rarely makes much of a difference other than a couple of plays a year. I would rather have seen another team bite on the 2nd round compensation, which was a longshot anyway. At best, he may be good trade bait before the deadline if they season stinks. I'd rather have the pick and younger talent on a rookie contract than an inconsistent aging part-timer that occasionally has a splash play. 

There's still a big chunk of free agency left. I'd rather get a few good players than one shiny big money star that's probably going to go to waste on this Cowboys team that doesn't seem that close to being a legit contender, but maybe could be another year from now if we're really lucky.

They will probably take a RB in the top 3 rounds. 

I'm looking forward to getting something good with pick 12. Then we'll see how it feels.

With Pick 12 I’m sure Boise state has a center that’s a 4th round grade that we can steal 

Some of our OL draft picks have actually been a bright spot for a unit otherwise completely neglected by Jerry. If they don’t score TDs he won’t pay. See also why the defense sucks

2015 was the last time the Cowboys have signed a free agent from another team for over $6M/year... Last player was Greg Hardy (via )

I have to believe this is mostly because of poor cap management. It’s not like there’s a ton of room in the budget unspent- it’s that they don’t prioritize putting money aside for free agency. Any signings they do make I seem to remember also news of key players restructuring their contracts to make the cap space available

We traded a 2025 5th and 2026 7th to Buffalo for Kaiir Elam and a 2025 6th.

Find you someone who loves you as much as the Joneses love former first-round busts.

LOL.  Elam sucks shit.  And you gave up draft capital for him.  So fucking dumb.

Cowboys love fucking around with busts.  Namely, first round busts.  It's weird obsession now.  It hasn't been working, getting guys who wash out.

#Cowboys have made five signings/trades this offseason. Here is where those fives players were drafted: Solomon Thomas (No. 3 overall) Kaiir Elam (No. 23 overall) Payton Turner (No. 28 overall) Javonte Williams (No. 35 overall) Robert Jones (UDFA)

Hate to see Lawrence go but he's too much of an injury and potential decline risk to pay that kind of money at this point. But it leaves a decent void there. 

Murray is a good player, should be an important part of the D. I like them getting experienced guys, but it is getting a little ridiculous with the early draft busts. Worse that they are spending some picks in this draft for players with only a year or two left on their contracts.

They seem really dedicated to getting the most comp picks. That can be OK if they are really good with 5th and 6th round picks, but they really aren't good bets. You would like to have those picks to use to move up to grab a targeted player in the draft in the mid rounds that should have gone higher.

I agree it's not a good trade at all. He may be a marginal starter or decent backup, but I hate giving up two picks. They are really thinning their draft capital. They shit away their fourth rounder which could have brought a guard, LB or RB that could be an important contributor. So their three 5th round picks were sort of the luxury they had to maneuver to make a small move to get a falling player they really want. Now they don't have that, so they probably end up drafting practice squad guys with those picks instead.

They just seem to really not want to sign anyone that might cost them a comp pick, then they shit away the comp picks on bullshit without much upside. 

Murray may be a good trade, but not as much when it adds to the 2025 draft numbers attrition. If he ends up being a great fit they're going to end up losing him again in free agency or end up paying him too much on a longer deal. 

I like some of the stuff they did, but they're getting way too fucking cute.

Is there anyone recovering from a catastrophic knee injury that is a sure fire 2nd rounder that we can move down and take in the late 1st round before the Eagles get him?

We're really going into the season hoping a Rookie RB and/or WR really make an impact on offense...can't wait.

Javonte Williams is a stud. No need to draft a rooke RB tbh.

he was clearly taking a shot at dak.  can’t win a title without a proven qb and he knows it.  dak is going to be paid more money for accomplishing less than anyone in the history of professional sports.  and that isn’t debatable.

Developing: A sleeper team that has emerged and is now making a push to sign former Rams free-agent wide receiver Cooper Kupp is….the Dallas Cowboys, per league sources.

Kupp’s decision in where to sign could come as early as today.

Kupp being healthy for only 8 games a year lines up pretty good with Dak being healthy for 8 games a year 

They’ll each be healthy for 8 different games, so it works out

He's not. Jerry wasted HOF careers like it's nothing. He'll waster Micah's too.

Dante Fowler coming back to rush the passer on 3rd downs.  He was okay, I probably would have rather kept the young-ins but he's a servicable backup.

 

Pass rusher Dante Fowler and the #Cowboys agreed to terms on a one-year deal worth up to $8 million, sources tell The Insiders. Fowler heads back to Dallas, on a deal negotiated by Sean Kiernan and Tom Povinelli of
@AthletesFirst, after notching 10.5 sacks with the #Commanders in 2024.

That locker room has to be the most dysfunctional, half assed, checked out collection of millionaires assembled since the Republican National Convention. 

Of course Lawrence is correct. We all know it. It's why the majority of the fan base has checked out. All that's left are the truck nut bros and dumb vatos

There is zero justification for kicking your former teammates on your way out of town. He may be correct, but its a bitch move and tbh, mindset also
