The official company line from the Dallas Cowboys over the past few years has been that they aren’t rebuilding. Owner/GM Jerry Jones has denied that fact over and over again, until yesterday when he pointed out that in the last three seasons the Cowboys have gone from one of the oldest teams in the league to one of the youngest.
If that isn’t rebuilding, then I’m not sure what we should call it. Heck, even Jones was a part of it by making some very difficult, but correct, decisions this off-season by sending DeMarcus Ware on his way, cutting Miles Austin and refusing to overpay the aging Jason Hatcher. This is progress, and they aren’t the only signs the team is rebuilding.
The past few years have also seen almost a complete retooling of the offensive line, all new wide receivers, running backs and tight ends on offense. The only real stalwarts are Tony Romo and Jason Witten, while Dez Bryant and Doug Free are only other real semblances of the offensive group that’s been around in the past five seasons.
Aside from those four names, most of Dallas’ best players on offense have three years or less of experience with the team. DeMarco Murray, Lance Dunbar, Cole Beasley, Dwayne Harris, Terrance Williams, Gavin Escobar, Travis Frederick, Tyron Smith and Zack Martin highlight that group. Gone are the high priced veterans who didn’t pull their weight, Felix Jones, Marion Barber, Miles Austin and Roy Williams among them...
