This is classic gaslighting by Stephen and Jerry. At this point they are just mocking. We all know what all in means. The Joneses know what it means too. They are walking it back because they never had any intention of going all in. It is against their dumb philosophy. Going all in in 2024 would have been so straightforward too. We need to run the ball and stop the run better. What would it take to go all in to fix these two problems? Get a good DT and LBs. Sign/draft a RB, replace the weakest link on the OL. This year set up perfectly for the Cowboys. First, there were a number of quality run-stopping DTs in free agency. Guys who could be plugged in and make an impact immediately. There were a few good LBs too. There were a bunch of quality RBs as well. I am not saying they needed to sign 10 guys, just 3. Then sign a few of their own free agents to maintain some continuity.
Dallas has done virtually nothing this offseason. Signing Lewis was a good move, they needed at least on of their FA CBs to provide depth. But they let both DEs go, and both DTs go. They had no LBs to begin with. They are entering the draft needed players everywhere and realistically they have to do it with 3 draft picks.
I don't care how you define "all in", what the Cowboys have done so far is the opposite of all in. Even if you use their definition of signing their core players, they have no done any of that either for some reason. It seems they are deliberately no clearing CAP space so they can use the CAP as an excuse to do nothing.
I don't know what it would cost, but someone should print up a bunch of those paper bags with the eye holes cut out to put over fans heads during games with the words "ALL IN" printed on them. Let Jerry sit up in his box viewing 100,000 fans with bags over their heads knowing everyone watching the game on TV is seeing the same thing.
