Yeah, that's the line being fed to people by many who are firmly entrenched on the players' side. However, it does not work that way.
How does it not work that way?
The Cowboys have been non existent in the FA market for years, supposedly to retain the core. They have a large amount of cap space in 2020.
It's to be determined if it all works out. Can crash and burn like in years past.
They will have to let some good players walk, too.
I'm all for churning out running backs in the draft.
But the QB position is tough to find a competent player, let alone an elite one. WR isn't as tough to find, but is not an easy position to adapt to the NFL like the RB spot.
They have been drafting better. And as of now, have not let any of their very good to elite players walk.
