If we actually use FA Ill be excited about next season…if not I’ll expect similar results.
I am with you. Dak and Parsons have basically said don’t use their contracts as excuses. Hopefully the fan base lets the Joneses know sitting out free agency won’t be tolerated.

Restructuring Dak and Lamb is 50+ million…not to mention the other moves we could make. Smart fans know better.

I’d be very happy with either Pearce or Williams.

I think Pearce’s pass rush floor is higher and Williams run defense floor is higher but both have very high potential to be very good 3 down Edges.
I think consensus ane conventional wisdom have Williams ahead of Pearce (and generally a top 10 guy). But freak athletic numbers at the combine from Pearce could close the gap.

Plus Parsons has told the fan base he wants to get this contract done early so it won’t be a distraction. The players want the Joneses to improve this team. No more hit pieces in the Dallas Morning News.

I think both are going to blow the doors off the combine. Pearce will def have a crazy 10 yard split and 40 times but Williams is likely going to combine in at 6’5 / 265 / 34+ inch arms and run in the 4.6s which is bonkers.

That’s like Myles Garrett stuff.

They’ll botch it just like they did with Dak and Lamb and end up paying more than they would’ve had to if they did it early.

It starts with this coaching search. I am getting sick just thinking about it.

I think MM and Zim are coming back.

I’d be fine with it if we actually went all in but I don’t think we will.

If we hibernate in FA like we normally do, hopefully we bring Zim back and bring in an OC guru that can scheme scrubs like Tolbert and Brooks open.

Could you see 3 edges going top 10?

McCarthy moves no needle. The fan base doesn’t want him back. That would be a huge mistake for the team especially if the Cowboys start off slow. McCarthy has a new agent and wants another big contract.

He’s better than JG…the fact we’ve won games with how terrible Rush is and how the players are playing hard has made me gain respect for him.

I hate his play calling though…agree with you he doesn’t move the needle at
all there so if he comes back ideally we get a new OC.

McCarthy is a good coach but he had his chances. We should have made it to at least two NFC Championship games in his 5 seasons and last season we were set up to go to the Super Bowl. That Green Bay loss still bothers me.

That GB loss might’ve hurt worse than any I can remember…

Just a complete clunker.
