Our biggest weakness isn't on the field but it translates to the field and it can never be fixed.
Sorry - I know it's not what you wanted to discuss.

Edge unit seem bright with Parsons being the elite one, then you have Armstrong who was good last year, Williams flashed potential in limited snaps and D-Law isn't a sack guy but can defend the run well.
Offensive tackles with or without Tyron Smith seems to be set, and both Smith(Tyler) and Steele are very young.
Secondary seems to have become better with the emphasis on getting competent safeties. We had a good trio with Wilson, Kearse and Hooker. Hoping they can keep that trio.
Behind them are Muk and Bell, with both seeming to possibly push for bigger roles soon.
Biadasz has developed into a good center, and Martin is still elite.
Lamb became a #1.
Diggs is a #1 corner too.

Agree with you 100%.. Unfortunately in the NFL the dead cap kills you. It's ironic that now the NBA with their new CBA and tv/internet rights deals coming up want to limit how much max guys can move.
You can never overpay a franchise QB. Mahomes is a value at 50 million or 30 million.
Not to make this a whole Dak thing. The reason I didnt like paying Dak was...
From 2016 to 2020 we had the best value to production of any QB in the league. In his first 4 years the Cowboys paid him 980K per season. If you include the franchise tag of 30 million your 5 year average was $6.5 million. I would take Dak everyday at that price. He was a bargin.
The mistake I thought that teams make is you pay a good player elite money because that is when he becomes a free agent in the market cycle. I am all about the free market.
Dak does not produce at the 40+ million dollar level.
I know there is an argument both ways.. there are two types of teams... Teams that have an answer at QB and teams that dont. Of course a smart team like the Eagles were confident enough in their systems to draft Wentz, overpay him, take the largest cap hit in history of the league... They drafted Hurts thinking he could be their future.
It worked out, they reached a SB.
Great organizations can zag while others do the same old. I don't expect Jerry to do that because he actually does not care about a SB win. He just wants to be 8-8. This is a whole long post that I wont go into right now.

Ah...Jimmy Johnson at the halftime of SB XXVII....
that was classic.
For those that do not know this comment or may have forgot about it. A sideline reporter, ask Jimmy coming out of the locker room at halftime.
About Buffalo being known for coming back from being down big.
Jimmy said...we ain't Houston ....

Just my two cents. Going into the offseason, I think we are "strong enough" at cornerback, defensive end, linebacker, safety and tight end to devote more emphasis and draft/free agency resources at all other positions.
Leadership is more tricky. It takes many forms and is more intricate than generalizations that observers often apply. Take Micah Parsons and Dak Prescott as examples from the offensive and defensive units. On one hand, Parsons utilizes a mixture of leadership qualities such as pacesetting (allows individual level of performance to establish a group standard) and transformative (extremely vocal in emphasizing a positive group change). On the other hand, Prescott uses democratic (promotes unanimity among a group) and affirmative (creates positive psychological coalition among a group) leadership traits.
Both men are team leaders but approach their roles in different ways. Neither man's influences are worse than the other. And both are not the sole leaders on the team. People on the outside looking in often spot and isolate who they determine are obvious leaders and miss others who often employ other forms of leadership that may be more subtle.
Additionally, leadership does not begin or end with players. It extends to coaching and management as well. That is a vital observation in a team sport. Football, in particular, is an activity mainly overseen by coaching, which leadership attributes are commonly transactional (fostering performance improvement through encouragement and discipline) and autocratic (exclusivity over decision-making). It is coaching leadership that I occasionally harp upon here because of Jerry Jones' hyper-activity, in both the public eye and privately with the team, bleeds into coaching's daily influence, which should be total in scope. Too many cooks in the kitchen is never a good thing.
During 2022, the team demonstrated it can both excel with its potential and stumble with the efficiency necessary to compete and beat opponents decisively. As far as leadership is concerned, I believe the 'first step' that the team must take first involves Jones making a personal sacrifice by taking a backseat. That action would allow his team to manufacture its own identity separate from what he constantly aggrandizes into every camera and microphone directed his way. Getting out of his own way would allow ALL the leaders on his team to take full charge. It is an intangible that has been missing from Dallas teams that have taken the field for a long, LONG time.
