He was our best te and daks security blanket.

The next TE will also serve as a security blanket. Schultz was a good receiver who had the offense funneled to him for a year.

There's a reason he only got 1 year, 9 million from little brother.

I think it’s because so far, this is the best offseason fans have seen in over a decade. Understandable to be excited. Team is finally making moves. I don’t know about a Super Bowl, but on paper, they sure are a lot closer today than they’ve been in the past. Now let’s have a great draft and hope it all translates onto the field.
We’ll find out when the games start how good an offseason it’s been. Fans were complaining on how bad an offseason we had last year, which led to low expectations but we ended up having to real good regular season and winning a playoff game. Any fans who think adding a soon to be 30 year old WR and a soon to be 33 year old corner is going to put the Cowboys in the Super Bowl is going way overboard. There’s still plenty of concerns on the OL. We have to replace a Dalton Schultz, because it could end up a mistake hoping one of the two young TE’s we have will emerge into a chain mover and provide a security blanket for Dak.

Regardless what players we add if the Cowboys continue to play down to their competition and blow games against bad teams like Green Bay they’ll continue to struggle getting over the hump. They can’t afford blowing a 17 point lead to a team like Jacksonville and lay a rotten egg against a bad team like Washington, allowing a rookie QB to look like an old pro and expect a contend for a Super Bowl. You can’t become a great team if you’re not committed to showing up every week.

Whats your point? Our team was still better with Shultz. We gained some, we lose some. Cant count one without the other.

Just as a general note: We won't know how the Cowboys did in the draft until the season. Fans have frequently panned draft picks but seen them go on to work out well. Unless Dallas drafts kicker, punter, long snapper in the first 3 rounds, we should be cautious with our complaints.

Loosing Zeke, Dak lost a body guard.
Dont be shocked if a big physical blocking TE is an early pick for this team.

Maybe Chung sucks less. Maybe he’s cheaper depth. Maybe it’s not the final move.

Glad you know more than the Cowboys. Why don’t you send your resume?
The Cowboys brought him in as a backup. So maybe your just a homer that is wishful thinking. Chung has a career to be easily analyzed. He was a backup last year for the Falcons that started 3 games.

He sucks. McGovern sucks too. I could really care less who sucks less. There is a huge hole at guard that needs to be filled with a stud if the Cowboys hold any home of making a big run.

If a guy “sucks less”, doesn’t that usually translate to more success? And how do you KNOW FOR SURE that some Cowboy coach doesn’t spark something in Chung.? I’d rather assume the best than assume the worst.

A Homer with wishful thinking is far better in my book, than an eternally dissatisfied know it all.

I just cant deal with these kinds of low standards. And no chung is not better. Go to talk with someone else about this kind of nonsense.

Isn't Quentin Johnston another Dez type WR? Runs poor routes but makes plays when the ball is in the air? Isn't that type not a good fit for Dak?

Isn't Gervon Dexter below average in quickness and getoff on the snap and a poor pass rusher? (2 sks in 2022 and 2.5 sks in 2021) Isn't that the exact opposite of what Quinn and the Cowboys not only look for but won't take high if they don't have pass rush ability?

And they've been very good players on all those teams.

Houston and Indy are in rebuild mode. They wanted to clear cap space and get more draft picks. Them being traded had nothing to do with their current level of production.
Yeah unfortunately for those guys they've bounced around because that teams were bad. Cooks has really got the short end of the stick.

But what says more is how many times have these guys been "cut"? I know for sure Cooks has never entered free agency in his career. That says more about his talent than how many teams he's played on.

I don't think its a bad fit for Dak but I'd wonder how successful that type of receiver can be in todays game where corners seem to be getting bigger and faster. A lot of 6 foot and 6'1 corners with high verticals and who are physical. Seems like the NFL is getting away from those type of receivers.

The Cowboys are their fifth teams. Let that sink in. They’re good players, but both are bouncing around the league and may not be here very long. I would still rather have Cooper than Cooks.
Ignoring contracts I'm torn on which I think would be better this year for this team, so can't really argue with you. Including contracts, which you absolutely have to do, it's not even close. Cooks is 10 times the better value. We are so much better off with Cooks and the cap space.

How do you KNOW Chung is not better? And even if he’s not, isn’t he cheaper? And couldn’t that money saved allow for additional moves? Guaranteeing failure seems like someone determined to be dissatisfied, stubbornly denying the possibility of hope and success.

I read. Chung is a backup and was brought in as a backup. At that point, nothing matters about who he is better than. Mcgovern wasnt good enough and neither is Chung.

I could ask you the same question. Maybe do a little research before you argue just to argue.

My point is the gap isn't as wide as you think. Overall we've gained much more than we lost. The team has improved.

I never said anything about a gap. Simply pointing out that we lost Shultz and were worse there. Most people fail to mention that.

The team has improved in areas and are weaker in others.
