Just the messenger on this although I will admit I have to agree with the author on Cowboys offseason moves.
"While some think the offseason hasn’t been all that terrible for the Cowboys, the overwhelming consensus among most analysts and fans is that it has involved mostly internal, depth signings and there’s been more loss than gain. Jerry and Stephen Jones have made numerous questionable decisions from who they traded to who they let go to why they didn’t sign certain free agents. This has earned them a ton of slack in the sports media world.
The latest hit comes from a new Bleacher Report article that handed out grades for all 32 NFL teams on how they did in free agency before the draft. Teams like the Buffalo Bills, Cincinnati Bengals, Cleveland Browns, Denver Broncos, Las Vegas Raiders, Miami Dolphins, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers all got A grades. Notice four of those teams all got former Cowboys players.
The Cowboys, on the other hand, did not fare so well. The front office received a D. Normally, when things go poorly for Dallas, we can always look over at our foes in the NFC East to have a laugh about some poor choices they made. But this time around, we can’t even do that. America’s Team received the worst grade for their pre-draft offseason decisions out of all the NFC East teams. Yikes.
The Dallas Cowboys receive a failing grade from Bleacher Report for their offseason moves
To bring some positivity here, there were a few teams with worse grades. The New England Patriots got a D- and the Chicago Bears somehow managed to get an F. Let’s look at what the four NFC East teams scored and why:
Dallas Cowboys: D

- According to the article, the only thing that went right for the Cowboys this offseason was the return of coordinators Dan Quinn and Kellen Moore. The argument here is that the Cowboys had a strong roster that needed more help to succeed. Getting rid of critical components of a roster that went 12-5 was entirely unhelpful especially given the Cowboys didn’t add anyone spectacular in free agency.
