It's last offseason all over again

[montgod]

Lewis is gone. Golston is gone. I suspect Dowdle is likely out of here at some point.

Last year's offseason was essentially watching decent depth pieces run off and the Cowboys backfilled them with cheaper, worse options and then tried to plug the dam with draft picks. It didn't work (it never works).

They are doing it again this year it appears. Golston is out. They'll find some cheaper, worse JAG at some point. Lewis is gone. They'll come up with some awful CB option that is again, worse but at least cheaper. We appear to have already signed Dowdle's replacement and the trend continues with that new guy being worse but cheaper.

And then we will be told we will fix our issues in the draft.

It's the same thing over and over.

PS - This stupidity in FA is why our drafting is slowly getting more and more inconsistent. Because we are forcing ourselves into having to draft based on need because we refuse to actually bring in a quality FA or two that can fix one of our many issues each offseason.

Fully agree except the only difference is the FO cleared cap ahead of time. At this point though, I don't even know why they went through the cap clearing exercise to the degree they did if no one notable was going to be signed.

The hilarious thing is that these guys aren't getting second contracts (sans maybe Liufau), so what are they saving cap room for?

Stephen's inheritance

LOL, another swing and a miss.

You aren't very good at this.

Go buy some more merch, bro.

I don’t recall them being reaches I remember people hashing we got good value on them.

Many had Williams as a 4th round pick. I think Kneeland would have been available later , he was projected 2nd-4th round

Common! We got 2 bench players on day 1, we should be proud of the jones.

With massive holes, we will be forced to reach in the draft.

Exactly. Why kick Dak's cap hits into the future if you aren't trying to seize this moment now? It's bizarre.

So right now, we've pushed millions of Dak's contract into future years (when he will likely be much worse) and we are using that savings to build what likely will be a worse team than last year's.

Hahaha. Make it make sense.

Its the norm around here, we love reaching for our targets.

Giants just locked up Holland for 3/45. When they are making you look like dog crap it’s bout time to throw in the towel on this now loser franchise.

This may end up being the first time, in 30+ years I don't even watch the draft.

Yup, I didn't watch at all last year cause it was clear what the outcome of the season would be.

You wont miss much….maybe some fist bumps, a couple phone calls….table pounding and possibly a leaked draft board.

Yeah I mean I guess it depends on how you felt about them. Tristen Hill and Joseph everyone said they were reached. Kneeland got a solid grade from most people. If I’m not mistaken the report on Sam was he was raw but had late first/2nd round talent.

We are entering what will be known as the Bohica years

You expected something different?

Serious question.

I'd call Jerry and complain if I were you.

Well it is more than what they usually do. I guess they get some credit for being hilariously bad at FA but not as lazy as last year.

Holy smokes probably

I’ll say that I didn’t expect anything different but they sure have some nuts to do this after watching the Commanders and Philly.

On the topic of the FO. I was watching a video this morning talking about how bad the new Josh Allen deal makes Dak's deal look.
