1. 
   The Dallas Cowboys should be playoff contenders in 2022. While they parted with several key contributors from 2021 in the offseason, they also did a fine job of adding replacements in free agency and the NFL draft.
   
   Offensive linemen La'el Collins and Connor Williams are gone, but Dallas used a first-round pick on versatile lineman Tyler Smith. Pass-rusher Randy Gregory left, but the team brought in Dante Fowler Jr. and second-round pick Sam Williams.
   
   Amari Cooper and Cedrick Wilson Jr. are no longer part of the receiving corps, but James Washington and rookie third-rounder Jalen Tolbert are.
   
   Dallas doesn't appear poised to experience a major drop-off from last season. Considering this is a team that won 12 games while ranking first in scoring and seventh in points allowed, fans should be excited for what's to come...

thats a lot of spin there....we all hope that the additions pan out but there are a lot of unknowns still....nice to see positivity as opposed to the constant view that we are much worse off in terms of talent.

Positives one can build upon. If not, one is just stuck in gloom or stereotypes.

Taking the started direction, a discussion can evolve onto applying some actual cap at improving the run defense further...but not cashing in a firework type of addition at top end expense:

1. 
   Some quality run defenders—such as defensive tackle Larry Ogunjobi and linebacker Dont'a Hightower—remain unsigned, and the Cowboys should think long and hard about acquiring one of them.
   
   Dallas has $20 million in cap space available, according to Spotrac, and using some of that to address the run defense would make a ton of sense. Run defense was a liability last year, and as things stand, the Cowboys are not poised to be any better in 2022.

I like Mike from FANSIDED view better than Kristopher' from bleacher report! Again, it all depends on which writer/site you like best pertaining to our Cowboys.

I really don't see a topical difference...just words selected for similar concepts in application. To this fan, there's plenty of room for the truth!

I always go into battle with the belief/desire to win.
No matter what.
Those infamous 300 Spartan warriors held the same ideology.
If my team loses, they lost.
On to the next battle.
Nothing has changed.
The war continues.

Hightower was the best defender on New England for 3-4 years. He is a smart player that is big and physical. Please Jerry make the move!

I would say that is pretty fair.
Should include Owner undermining, I know you're not some savant though, so it's okay.
