"The trade for Rashan Gary, and signing Jalen Thompson to a three-year deal worth a max of $36 million dollars both happened on Monday, the opening day when every single team in football took a bite of the cake. Yet, since then, the front office run by Jerry Jones has done nothing to address a huge need at the cornerback spot, a true edge rusher or the worst spot on the defense, adding a linebacker."
"Yes, it is progress, but here we are again, unless they make a huge move, they got worse talent wise on defense, and that shouldn't have even been possible with how bad they were a year ago. Just remember though, he told us all that he would bust the budget after another disappointing year."
"Here is the main issue: The starting caliber players are nearly completely off the board and signed with other teams. Sure, free agency has a long way to go, but look at the best at each spot they need. Arnold Ebiketie, Cameron Jordan, and Jadeveon Clowney."
The Dallas Cowboys opened free agency with two significant acquisitions: trading for Rashan Gary and signing Jalen Thompson to a three-year, $36 million deal. However, the team has since neglected major defensive deficiencies including cornerback, edge rusher, and linebacker positions. The front office compounded these issues by trading Osa Odighizuwa to San Francisco for a third-round pick. While early moves like signing Javonte Williams showed promise, subsequent inaction has left the defense weaker than the previous year despite owner Jerry Jones's promises to exceed budget constraints. Top available defensive talent has signed with competing teams, limiting remaining options.
