There's hope for the future of this team without necessarily "cashing in" immediately. Much of the last 20 years were marred with mediocre drafts, while for the last several years, our drafts have been exceptional. Hopefully, Will McClay will be content to stay with Dallas, especially if Jerry should decide to augment his pay to deflect the temptation for him to accept a GM post elsewhere.
Dak and Zeke are young studs who are probably destined to remain with the Cowboys for a long, long time to come. The defense is on the upswing and the next draft is likely to see defensive changes that should make a positive impact on that side of the ball.
This appears to be the beginning of a new era in Dallas, as opposed to the era of stagnation that has marked the last 20 years. Stephen has been granted a greater say in management as well. So, as noted at the outset of this post, there is hope for better times to come for the Cowboys.
