My heart says yes, my brain says no. Forget the heart. This team has something seriously wrong with it. It needs to be corrected. If its attitude brought about by a lackluster coach and owner, that is going to be hard to change without some significant personnel changes. The Cowboys may have to shop some players around the league in addition to hiring a new coaching staff. I believe at least some rebuilding is going to be necessary over the next two years anyway. They have about 30 payers who will be free agents this year and next. Be prepared for major change in the roster.
But it goes beyond that. The Cowboys division is changing. The Giants suck this year but they are closer than anyone thinks. Danny Dimes needs more experience and will probably be greatly improved next year. The Giants are also building that defense again. They have some DTs the Cowboys could use. If the Giants draft someone like Chase Young, and they will have a good shot at him, they could have a stout defense for the next 4 or 5 years. If they can sign Leonard Williams, and another CB or two, they could be very tough.
The Commanders are also building a foundation for the future. I am not a big Haskins fan, but if they can get him another receiver, improve a little on the OL and add a LB or some secondary help, they could also be very tough in the next couple of years. The Commanders are solid at DT also with Allen and Payne. That duo is just going to get better.
Both the Giants and Commanders will be drafting very early and will have a chance to add an impact player somewhere on the field. My guess is the Giants will go with Young if he's on the board, otherwise they will go with a top OT. The Commanders need a replacement for Trent Williams.
The Eagles are on a slide, IMO. Jason Peters is old. Jenkins is 31, Kelce is 32, Graham is 31. They also have injury prone WRs. They have more cap space than I could have imagined considering where they were last year and they are willing to use it. They are also willing to trade picks for players and have done so effectively.
This is a long way of saying, the Cowboys had no first round pick last year and I believe, if they lose out, they will have a quality pick this year - and a big chance to select a true impact safety or maybe even a DT. I say let the Eagles win the division at 9-7 and lose in the first round. The Cowboys need fresh meat for the defense and losing is the best way to acquire that talent since Jerry doesn;t believe in signing free agents.
