Well, after a week of free agents getting signed left and right, the Dallas Cowboys once again have shown all the fans they simply don’t care enough about winning football games.
After clearing all the cap space they did last week, they have done nothing in return attempting to make this football team better.
While you look around the league, you see team after team getting better every single day, the Dallas Cowboys have gotten worse, actually.
With the NFL Draft in about a month, the Cowboys pick 12th, and with the moves that some other teams have made via free agency, the outlook on the Cowboys draft may look a lot different.
One team I hint at is the Chicago Bears, who pick two spots ahead of Dallas, they were probably prepared to pick an offensive lineman, but after their productive week, they can take the best available player, and that guy might be Ashton Jeanty.
Jeanty is the guy many thought the Cowboys would take, but now I am not so sure.
Who Knows
At this point, I have no idea what this front office is going to do. They will probably draft some guy who is a project and wasn’t supposed to be drafted until the second round.
They will look to beef up both the offensive line and defensive line, and sure they signed Soloman Thomas, but he is a role guy.
They also added a guy from the Dolphins on the offensive line, but now I think they will wait to get a running back in maybe the 2nd or 3rd round and get a bigger need.
Derrick Harmon, a defensive lineman from Oregon, fits the bill if he is there.
Harmon does a lot of things well and would help give the Cowboys help with Osa Odighizuwa.
He would fit nicely in Matt Eberflus’ four-down defense. He’s likely never going to be a high-end sack guy, but Harmon can stay on the field because of his ability to affect the run and pass.
This idea has really flipped from a week ago, when the front office cleared as much space as they did, like why even do that if you don’t plan to do anything at all?
They could have signed the players they have this week without making more room, so what is the point?
This Won’t Work
Now they are going to need to lean on the draft in which they probably won’t even get the player that everyone thought they would two weeks ago.
That is because teams have been active in free agency and filled what they needed to fill, while the Cowboys front office is sitting back acting like this won’t fail for the 500th time in a row.
It is like trying to fix a leaking boat with a bunch of flex tape or something. You can’t tell me it isn’t true?
The last time they spent over $5 million in free agency was when they signed Greg Hardy!
Just think about that for a moment. I just want to win football games, and this isn’t working!

Dallas traded for Kaiir Elam a former first round pick of the Bills. They traded a 5th and 7th round picks. He will probably have to start with the injury to Trevon Diggs.
Jerry Jones is adding former first-round picks for cheap because they did not work out on other teams as his form of free agency, and if you think that will work, then we can agree to disagree.
I don’t know what else the Dallas Cowboys can do, but this isn’t it. Trading for a former first round bust that will never pan out is not the move.
I mean sure, they are trying to do something, but look what the Eagles did last season and look what Washington is doing this offseason.
That is how you get to the next level!
