I have no doubt that the Joneses take good care of Will McClay. Financially. Perks. Say so. Accolades. He knows he's loved and respected in those hallways. He knows he's all that in their eyes.
Do more for him. Please. Now.
The star performer in this organization has been this quiet personnel soldier who finds hidden gems here, there and everywhere. McClay, Tom Ciskowski, and that squadron of talent scouts have a knowing pulse on the college game and the pool of wandering free agents that lurk in the background.
This year's crop of draftees is just stupid good. You know the names. But what about Terrell McClain? What about Brice Butler, David Irving, Justin Durant, Keith Smith, and Jack Crawford? Guys that play and perform that didn't come from the fine side of the player vineyard.
You see his fingerprints everywhere.
Dan Bailey. Travis Frederick (what a find!). Cole Beasley. Geoff Swaim. Tyrone Crawford. You even see other guys on other teams that McClay identified here, but were let go. Olawale, Amendola, Holmes, and others.
The stars of this roster were drafted, and the role players were, too, alongside some shrewd free agent acquisitions.
Geez, Dallas has guys already in house waiting in the wings, too. Jackson can backup Elliott next year, and they like Frazier at safety. Brown has already made Scandrick look expendable, and Jaylon Smith just might anchor this defense for the next decade if he heals as hoped. Chaz Green? Damien Wilson?
(And Dak Prescott? Shut up!)
Take care of this man...because the next offseason might just put this thing over the top. I'm talking, like Patriots or 90s Cowboys over the top. Imagine what an offseason like the last one focused solely on the defense would look like. The only offensive player I would even consider next year is Jake Butt, a Witten replacement that would give us a chance to write Jake Butt as much as we wanted. Jake Butt, Jake Butt, Jake Butt.....lol
Take care of this man, Jerry. He went to Rice for crying out loud. Razorbacks couldn't count to the ACT score that it takes to get into that place.
I know you won't give up that GM title, so think of something. Something holier than thou. Executive Grand Poobah of Dallas Cowboys Everything Football Player Accumulation. Let him write down his title, and you add another zero on the end of that check.
He's the magic ingredient. Do it.
