For the first time in a long time, it feels like the Cowboys want to win

Jerry Jones

This off-season has been one of the most successful in recent memory. The Cowboys had a very solid first week of free agency. They re-signed key players, such as Donovan Wilson and Leighton Vander Esch.

They also made a WELL-needed trade to get another star alongside of Trevon Diggs.

On late Tuesday afternoon, the Cowboys sent the 176th pick of the 2023 draft to the Indianapolis Colts for five-time Pro Bowl Corner Stephon Gilmore.

Corner and wide receiver — the two biggest needs going into this off-season.

They addressed one on the first week, getting a steal in Gilmore by only giving up a 5th-round pick.

Dallas lost Noah Brown to the Houston Texans. Their WR room was already thin, and now it became even thinner. Brown was the second-leading wideout on this team last season.

So it’s the first weekend of March Madness and I thought a nice post from me would be a more personal one.

I was born in 1996 and have seen four playoff wins in my lifetime. With that said, this is the FIRST time I have felt that this team actually wants to win.

The moves they have made from trading for Gilmore, releasing Ezekiel Elliott, and re-signing key players have shown me something.

End of an era: The #Cowboys have informed former NFL rushing champ Ezekiel Elliott that they are releasing him, per me and @TomPelissero. He’ll be designated as a post-June 1 release to create cap space. pic.twitter.com/QKZhkny76i

It has shown me that maybe the team is listening, and not just settling for making the playoffs. They brought back key players for Dan Quinn’s defense and added to a glaring weakness.

I am waiting patiently for a move at wide receiver. Whether it is through trade, signing a free agent, or drafting someone.

I will be a full believer that this team truly wants to win if they address this situation within the next few months.

The window of this current team is coming to an end, and after this week, they are missing ONE piece.

The Cowboys were going to get themselves a Stephon Diggs ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. Stephon Gilmore and Trevon Diggs have a combined 46 career ints. The @dallascowboys now have 2 ball hawks who can change a game at the drop of a hat. Cowboys fans are already yelling “THIS IS OUR YEAR!”

The last time I saw this team make a move in the “win now” mode was when they signed Brandon Carr, and traded up for Morris Claiborne.

For the first time in a long time, I am actually really excited for a season to start.

This defense might be taken to the next level.

The offense needs someone alongside CeeDee Lamb and once they get it, they will be one of the best teams in football. (If you don’t think they are already).

I don’t know what the next move will be for the Cowboys, but I hope it’s on the offensive side of the football.

Adam Theilen and DJ Chark are my top two free-agent wide receivers left.

Odell Beckman wants too much money, and the likelihood they trade for DeAndre Hopkins is very minimal.

The first week just ended and they have already surpassed my expectations. I hope they keep this up because if they do maybe others will buy in.

I want this team to win so badly. The Joneses have made it really hard to cheer for this team for a long time because they rarely tried to improve any team that was close.

This year they have made me eat my words.

It’s time to put the finishing touches on this off-season.

I asked a few months ago when the talk would stop and the results would start. They have started. It’s time to finish the job.

    They try to buy a winning team every year and they fail because they cant play like a real team no team work. Poor coaching and a average QB that throws interceptions at the worst time .
  2. Fonz Damron
    To bad you couldn’t come up with a QB.
  3. Joe F Gonzales
    That Jerry and his followers, what a bunch of clowns
  4. Tim James
    If Jerry parted ways with Dak and Zeke before huge extensions they would have had time build a better team.Time and money wasted…. He will bury this team the same way Al Davis did at old age. He needs to keep his nose out of the player evaluation
  5. Richard Davis
    Quarterback is the weak spot
  6. Michael Zapata
    Not really. They still have Dak.
  7. James Johnson
    Has beens fit in well with has been coaches and owner. Rebuild now through the draft
  8. Scott Edmondson
    Did they trade Dak ????

    Wanting to win doesn’t make you a winner anymore than wanting to win the Lottery makes you a millionaire

    Heard it said by several retired NFL players and I agree with them. To win a Superbowl in today's game you need two things. An elite QB and an elite Head Coach. What do you all think. Is that what we have?

    That’s a shame!! JJ making all that money and putting out a mediocre team!

    I hope this story headline is right. But, with Jerry in Charge, who know's what they'll actually end up doing

    Lmao! Jerry still runs the team. They still have that puppet coach. And they still have that overpaid choking quarterback. What fucking World do you people live in?
  15. Allen Thompson
    It's the same old story Jerry world.And he will do just enough to not get any good draft picks next year, he doesn't care he has so much money. It's too bad that much money can't buy common sense.

    Looooser

    The Cowboys won't win until the owner fires the president and GM.
  18. Blake Pierce
    As long as Dak is QB we will never win the SB. He has proven time and time again he can't win from behind in the big moments.
  19. Nate Manser
    I see it starting early ( this our year we dem boys!) Doesn't change the choke factor they have for the playoffs.
  20. Blake Box
    Leonard Zacek by doing that you are definitely not going to win. The cap hit alone would absolutely devastate the team. Better off keeping him for right now.
