"Dak has done nothing to change my mind about any promise for the future. I think I've said that we will go as far as Dak takes us in the playoffs. Remember that. We will go as far as Dak takes us. And that is how far we went."

Dunn dunn duuuuuunnnnn!
So our outlook is another one and done courtesy of Mr MVP... way to give us fans no semblance of hope Jerry.

From 1966-1996: Cowboys won 32 playoff games in 31 seasons.
From 1997-2024: Cowboys won 4 playoff games in 28 seasons.

Any questions?
Did the Cowboys miss the online continuing education course on winning playoff games?

Thats bad. Oof.

Jerry loooooooooves him some Dak-in-the-headlights.

‘Here we GOOOOOOO!’

Sure, Jerry… let’s try it one more time. Like Mike Fisher says - a marketing organization playing football as a side hustle.
The laws of physics could change, you never know.

Making cap space

Guys to cut:
Gallup - June 1st cut - $9.5m saved
Cooks - saves $4m - decent player but if you aren't going to use him on deep routes it's kind of pointless having him
Vander Esch - $2.1m - too many injuries, not trustworthy
Rush - $2.25m - might as well go with Lance as backup
Wright - $1.2m

Restructure or Extension:
Zach - $12.6m or $13.4m
Tank - $4.4m or $7m
Diggs -$7.9m
Steele - $4.9m
Wilson - $2.9m
Lamb extension - $13.4m
Lance extension - $3.4m

Dak - $21.9m or $26.2m

So,
$9.55m in regular cuts
$9.5m in June first cuts

$71.4m with only restructures or $79.1m with biggest additions between restructures and extensions.

We can make 90+m just from the above. The June 1st cut of Gallup covers the cost of the rookie pool and then some extra so more than $80 million to play with. You COULD go all in if you wanted.

Free agents
-Pollard, Gilmore, T. Smith, Armstrong, Kearse, Lewis, Fowler, Igbinoghene, Gallimore, Hankins, Goodwin, Sieg, Edoga, Dowdle, McKeon, Biadasz

Only resigns and would not break the bank for T. Smith, Lewis, Armstrong, Hankins, Sieg. Maybe Dowdle. Biadasz will want too much money for average performance at best.

Offense under contract
QB - Dak, Lance
RB - Davis, Luepke, Vaughn, Conner
TE - Ferguson, Schoonmaker, Hendershot, Fant, Stephens, Jr
WR - Lamb, Tolbert, Turpin, Bryant, Brooks, Durden, Cropper, McMath
OT - Steele, Waletzko, Richards, Bostic, Jr, Shepley
OG - Martin, T. Smith, Bass, Ball
C - Hoffman
PK - Aubrey
LS -

DE - Parsons, Tank, Williams, Fehoko, Gholston, Wheat, Johnson
DT - Odiggy, Smith
LB - Clark, Overshown, Johnson
CB - Bland, Diggs, Redwine, Scott, Butler
S - Hooker, Wilson, Bell, Mukuamu, Thomas
P - Anger

Biggest needs and likely available FA
RB - Henry, Barkley, Jacobs, Ekeler, Cook, Moss
OT - D. Brown, T. Brown, T. Smith, Williams
C - James, Cushenberry
WR - Mike Evans, M. Brown, T. Boyd, C. Samuel, D. Mooney, Pittman, Ridley, G. Davis

DT - Hankins, C. Jones, L. Williams, Rankins, Wilkins, Madubuike, Reader, Stewart, Tart
LB - D. White, Wagner, Jewell, Luvu, Queen, Brooks, Al -Shaiir
CB - Lewis, Fuller, Davis, J. Johnson, Sneed, Moore

Trade possibilities - Stephon Diggs, AJ Brown

These are just same names I found from sources like OverTheCap and PFF....not an extensive or researched list.

If we want to go all out, there are plenty of options.

Draft
In our first round slot...lots of corners, some OL
Second round slot - lot of OL, couple DL and a couple WR

And you know Jerry will try to make a deal for someone injured, like Jordan Travis.
Correction, since we are 19m over the cap now...we could clear about 70m in space, leaving more than 60m after cost of rookie pool. Still plenty to go all in with.

Wait, people thought Dak was going somewhere lol?
Not me. I agree with you MC, at Jerry's age he's not thinking anything as time consuming as a rebuild, and he said this would not be a rebuilding year. That means Dak stays. Repeat the same team means repeat the same results, at best.
Assuming Dak at the helm, the only other way to improve is to strengthen the OL and DL, we badly need immediate help in the trenches.

All in lol I will believe it when I see it and even if Jerry does that desperation move I still don't buy into this team until we win multiple playoff games. You can run your mouth all you want Jerry we are don't believing your lies.
I translate "all in" to mean more money.......continue to over pay for under performance. Hope I'm wrong.

Basically. It’s not ideal but I mean what we want to happen vs what will happen are two different things. When Jerry said we were close that’s all I needed to know. I mean I knew he felt that way but that confirms we are bringing everyone back.

All in for him means:

- Extend Dak (highest paid QB in NFL)
- Extend Lamb (highest Paid WR in NFL)
- Extend Micah (highest Paid LB in NFL)

Same coaching staff

Sign JAG Free Agents cause you got no money and no guts

Hope for a miracle draft.

Repeat
