Pretty much true for about 28 teams. Yet they still sign with the Jets, Jags etcIt could be as simple as players do not want to sign in dallas. What can you win dallas?

I don't either. Even this year.....it sucked in hindsight but I honestly thought signing Haha, Poe, McCoy, Greg the Leg, Everson Griffen.......I thought that was a great offseason with our draft. I was wrong and so was this team.FA is a very high priced crap shoot. Personally I have no issue with taking a cautious approach in FA and look more to the draft to find longer term talent. This year will be interesting as cap number is scheduled to be lower and with so many teams over the cap or close to it what will the bidding on FA players look like this year.
3 of those guys are cowboys who this fron office thought weren't good enough to start here. Keywords FRONT OFFICE.The guys you mentioned were low 1 year deal guys, when was the last time we signed a first day multi year contract fa defensive player? Now that I'm thinking about it when was the last time we sign a first day multi year fa anywhere? You can't just do it through the draft alone.
KC defense: Ward, Clark, Hitchens, Wilson, Mathieu and Breeland came in either FA or trade.
Drafting is all fine and dandy, we don’t even do that well....
But we are flat out terrible in free agency...get cheap scrubs of whom many don’t even make the team or get cut after a few games

this exactly. They have the family vacation every year around when the first week of free agency starts. It's an absolute joke.How can we be good in free agency when the league wants to start free agency period when our owners/gm want to go on vacation at the same time?
It's rigged I tell ya.

Tex was a complete cheapskate. Cowboys of that era where one of the lowest paid teams Cowboys players would go to pro bowls and talk with players who were amazed at how little Cowboys players were paid. Since there was no FA and little player movement in those days Tex did not have to worry about losing players.
Lamb, Diggs, Romo, Witten, Tyron, Martin....we have been pretty decent at drafting.
Although Taco over Watt still hurts.
ive seen many 100mil FAS bust as well..Drafting is all fine and dandy, we don’t even do that well....

Despite what some claim on here so often, it certainly appeared that this front office was trying to bring in some much needed help. It just didnt work out too well this yearI don't either. Even this year.....it sucked in hindsight but I honestly thought signing Haha, Poe, McCoy, Greg the Leg, Everson Griffen.......I thought that was a great offseason with our draft.

Two problems face the Cowboys. The poor evaluation of players on the team and the poor evaluation of available players in FA and the draft unless they're 1st round OL.
The GM is a follow the ball person so the defense will take a back seat to the seat filling story making offense. He considers the last draft a success because of flash and splash with a high profile rookie WR.
The other problem he has is selling himself that he is doing a good job and evaluating himself as he does the players. He is incapable of truly evaluating his team building shortcomings. He does exactly what some do here. The minute they're drafted or signed, they become better because they're Cowboys. He goes one step further, they are better because they are his.
The greatest self sell done here is that they are even good at drafting. They are average, at best, and have lucked into the last two QB1's or who knows what this team would look like.
What other GM have you seen hire an unknown to him coach in a 12 hour interview? That should tell you all you need to know.
The simple answer to why don't they win, why aren't they any better in FA and the draft is that they don't have to win at anything but in ratings and revenue. That is all that matters to him and his shining example of the pitfalls of nepotism.
Free agency is for people who are bad at drafting. Cowboys are amazing at drafting.
Dak, Bryon, pre accusal Zeke, Gallup
All ballers
