While the rest of the NFC East teams get stronger, Dallas has weakened in free agency
Los Dallas Cowboysthe sports franchise with the highest value in the world, 9 billion dollars according to the magazine’s publication Forbes in September 2023. Known as the “America” team. One of the most popular teams in the Mexicoin the world, and also one of the most hated.
There is no doubt that since Jerry Jonescurrent owner of the Cowboysbought them in 1989 for 140 million dollars, they have become the most successful sports franchise… Economically speaking.

However, if we look at what happens on the pitch and as time goes by, the fans still have more questions than answers, since they do not raise a Vince Lombardi Trophy since the 1995-1996 season, and since then they have not reached a Conference Championship Game. The fans are desperate. Very good regular seasons arrive, but when it comes down to it, that is, the postseason games, the Cowboys they disappear. Year after year, it’s the same: high expectations and few results.
After the defeat against the Green Bay Packers in the Wild Card Round by 48-32, and where they were losing 27-0, important changes were expected to have a competitive team for the next season, but at the moment they have not been seen and I doubt that we will see them during the following months

Important talent has been lost. In free agency he left Tyron Smith, Jayron Kearse, Dorance Armstrong, Dante Fowler Jr. y Tyler Biadasz. Stephon Gilmore He is still a free agent and I doubt he will return to dallas. Leighton Vander Eschafter being cut, was forced to retire due to the neck injury and although he played little this past season, he leaves an important hole in the linebacker position that will fill Eric Kendricks.
Tony Pollard signed with Tennessee Titans after a season to forget. It was expected that the Cowboys They will look for a broker like Derrick Henry, Austin Thank you, Saquon Barkley, Aaron Jones o Josh Jacobs, but it has been quite the opposite. Today, the team’s No. 1 running back is Rico Dowdle, who signed as a rookie free agent in 2020 after going undrafted. In three seasons, Dowdle He has two touchdowns, 96 carries and averages 4.0 yards per carry.
There is a possibility that Ezekiel Elliott return, but for the moment that is only speculation.
On the receivers’ part, they were expected to look for one in free agency who would consistently complement CeeDee Lambbut they didn’t do it either. Brandin Cooks He will turn 31 in September. He is a good player, but not the one he needs dallasand clearly Jalen Tolbert in Martavis Bryant They are the solution.

And, the most important exit for my taste is that of Dan Quinnthe former defensive coordinator of dallas who became the head coach of the Washington Commanders. Instead he was hired Mike Zimmerwho under the same position was with the Cowboys from 2000 to 2006.
So it hasn’t been the expected months for the Cowboy Nation; really the only thing I liked was the hiring of Kendricks.
Sure, the most important event of the offseason is missing, which is the draft. NFLwhere dallas can turn around this last month that has been forgotten. But in the meantime, the rest of the teams in the East Division of the NFC is strengthened, and Cowboys They get weak.
