The Cowboys seem relegated to 3rd place in NFC East for foreseeable future.
We have so many holes (2nd WR, D-Line, etc.) to fill along with major cap limitations due to having so few players taking up such a high percentage of the Cap.
While the top two teams, Philly and the WFT, seem to have much more enviable roster makeups.
Philly: Has their QB, RB, TE, WR's, O-Line, D-Line, and overall Defense secured for at least a year or two.
Wash: QB, WR's, D-Line. The rest of their team is pretty good but, having their QB, who looks to be a Top QB in the making, playing on a Rookie contract for 4 more seasons, they will be able attract and sign good free agents.
Conversely, the Cowboys are in a much worse Roster situation. Having so much Cap tied up, we will be hard pressed to re-sign any players who are worth re-signing (Osa,Gholston, Turpin, Aubree, etc.) and we won't be able to pay for any top Free Agents to fill Roster holes.
I think we can work out something with Aubree by Franchising and Turpin since he is Restricted Free Agent. But Osa should expect to be a good prospect for other teams who have money to spend.
The Cowboys desperately need another WR to complement Lamb but all WR's currently on the Roster are more 3rd/4th tier talent. The Cowboys will not be able to pay for one of the top Free Agent WR's. They may Draft one in the 1st round but WR's usually take over a year to get up to top level unless they are a freak.
This also goes for being able to fill the holes on the D-Line via FA.
Dak has shown that he isn't a Force Multiplier type QB and needs help to succeed but his Cap hit will prevent that and it will be up to be something he isn't. And, given his injury situation, it's hard to see him being able to do it physically and mentally.
