Rich Eisen combine rumors: Cowboys to shake up roster

[CowboyoWales]

Not going to lie. No clue what the club is doing this year and not sure they do either besides “get tough”

This is a hang-over from the mess that Jerry made last year. Rather than initiate a change, after the GB game, he did his usual the can (rather than making the decisions last year - trading : DLaw, Martin, Osa, J-Lew - and starting again).
Now we're in the worst of all world's with 2 massive contracts, three more to pay out but weaknesses throughout both Lines. DONT WORRY, JERRY's got NO CLUE EITHER.

Was our roster not shook up last year?

We suffer now, for the lack of a strategy last year.... that GB game spooked Jerry, but instead of taking control and taking a stand by tearing it down (trade: Osa, Martin, Dlaw, J-Lew....let Dak play for a contract) OR ALL-IN behind: Tyron, Pollard, Gilmore, Hankins and played it with Dak's last year, where he's hungry to prove he's worth another contract.
Jerry as per usual he goes for the middle option as he wants relevancy. No foresight, no strategy, no idea.

I'm a minority but I could see a major shakeup via trade or free agent signing. Maybe, just maybe, Jerry and Stephen are starting to get it what they are doing, isn't working. First Garrett, and now McCarthy, almost 15 years and nothing to show. It would not surprise me if they hear from inside close circles, especially younger family members ( like most young ones today, they cut through the BS and give you the hard cold truth).
Bottom line and I never said this before, but the team and Jerry have become an embarrassment. There was a time when Jerry was considered one the most powerful and respected owners in the league ( certainly top 5 ) but now he's mocked and laughed. You can't convinced his people don't see this and are encouraged about the future or direction of the team.

I would love to see this, but then you have to ask if he wanted to shake things up, why sign Dak to the deal he did? He basically wrote off the next few years until Dak is gone when he signed that deal.

My only real concern here is are the Cowboys going to play the comp pick game again? Not that it cant work out but will they opt to let their FAs walk just to avoid free agency and look at the trade market to bring in talent? Another Cooks/Gilmore type of offseason?

The team has no identity. They don't know who to sign.

Perhaps he didn't see what he sees now.......Dak's contract was a huge mistake and there were people in his circle who tried to warn him but he didn't listen.
