Do the Cowboys even have a plan?

What is the team building strategy of this franchise? Are we a defensive team, running team, passing team, what is the strategy? Its seems the FO just goes year to year with little thought about strategy or long term thinking.

We trade for Cooper and then he walks into FA. So was that a one year desperate move to try and win THAT year? Seams like the QB is entering his prime and the passing game is taking over and then they resign Zeke to a long term huge contract.

Aikman has commented that it doesnt seem like the franchise has a plan.

All these core guys they wait too long to sign them and when they we get nothing. Why not trade them before they become FA's?

Sure they do. It’s called putting $ into little Stevie’s piggy bank and not into the product on the field

Bellicheck likes to build his defense from the secondary forward. Ravens like Dlineman and Defense to be their calling card.

What about the Cowboys? Is there any consistency?

Marinelli wants this type of guy, Garrett this type of guy, Jones wants Manziel.

I guess the only thing you can say is they like a strong Oline.

This OL and that RB. The window is 2 years. They need to go for it. They won’t though. Jerry and Stephen love dumpster diving.

We had no rhythm or reason.

They obviously had no intention of resigning Jones and new it for a while. Why didnt they trade him?

Here's a few things I believe that could've happened.

1). They wanted Byron back but on a team friendly deal.
2). Last year was suppose to be a boom or bust year.
3) Does Jones have more value than the 3rd round compensatory pick they'll receive? Was a team willing to trade for him as a half a year rental.
4) Incompetence......these guys are naive and think players will sign friendly deals to play here. Stephen and his ilk needs to get over that. Just because you're the "Cowboys" means nothing. It holds no weight.

#2 is the big one there. Jerry always thinks we have a shot to win it all so trading a good player or future benefit doesnt even cross his mind.

I keep saying it, they have no plan lol it is just constant ad lib moves, and short term plans that they change on a whim.
They should be working closely with MM on what and who he wants or needs, who he doesnt want etc. but seems
like they are not even consulting him.
They buy the groceries, then MM has to cook something with them, that is how it works.
MM is a better cook than JG, but still this arrangement has limitations.
