Make no mistake, this isn't about what's best for the franchise, or the fans, or the players.
This is all about what's best for Jerry. Sure, Jerry has convinced himself that he's so good at running a NFL franchise that what is best for him has to be what's best for the Cowboys, but most outsiders know that's largely BS.
In the end, Jerry does what Jerry does based on how it makes him feel, not necessarily what's best for the franchise. Sometimes those two streams cross and you get a decent outcome, but more often than not, what Jerry wants, what Jerry needs to make himself feel good and smart is not often what's the best move for the team.
It's playing out again here with Garrett. Even bringing Garrett back as a front office guy would be a disaster but nonetheless, it would make Jerry happy.
