"We have all done this way too many times. We have allowed ourselves to be sucked in by the annual tagline for the late winter and early spring. Jerry Jones said they would be all in two years ago and it was infamously one of the more shy offseasons throughout The Drought™. Why would this year be any different? That's a fair question that cannot be answered objectively."
"No one is saying that the Cowboys can win four Super Bowls any time soon, but you can see how the Patriots loss could be argued to be a catalyst in the vacuum that the conversation and analysis is taking place. Like many things with the Cowboys, the proof will be in the pudding and some of that has already started to leak out for 2026"
Cynical preseason optimism routinely resurfaces each late winter and spring, despite prior quiet offseasons. Jerry Jones aims to retire as the NFL owner with the most Super Bowl wins, currently holding three compared with Robert Kraft's six; New England's recent loss preserved that gap and renewed Jones's incentive. Early 2026 signs include reports the team will apply the franchise tag to George Pickens. Opinions differ on that move. The organization appears prepared to outbid rivals for free agents, signaling a willingness to spend aggressively, though on-field results will ultimately determine success.
