Mike McCarthy thinks Cowboys 'improving,' despite quiet free agency

I get it, the Dak Prescott contract situation is a problem, but the front office could have created over $50 million in cap space if they would have done three simple things.

Extend Dak to free up money, and sign Lamb and Parsons and they very well could have created enough space to at least sign depth they lost in the month of March

What He Is Banking On

He said that he excited about the younger players on the roster, yawn.

The return of some injured players like Trevon Diggs and others, yet you can't tell me that the return of 2 players will outweigh the team losing five or six starters.

Here we go again with Jerry Jones thinking the draft will do wonders for them and get them over the top!

They have spent the least amount of money in free agency, obviously with the current situation they are in.

Eric Kendricks is the only external free agent they have signed. He will probably work really well with Mike Zimmer, but outside of that, this coaching is set up to fail in 2024, and he knows it.

Jerry Jones Has Been Through This Before

A little over a week ago, Jerry Jones spoke about the current situation that McCarthy is facing.

“I've had coaches in their final year before,” he said, like when Jason Garrett was in his final year of the deal and ended up going 13-3.

“I just am comfortable like this,” Jones said.

Let's be fair, that team Garrett had top to bottom was way better than what this 2024 team is going to look like.

He's got a quarterback that may be out the door with him after the 2024 season in Prescott. His running back room is a ghost town.

He has two solid receivers, one solid tight end, and a lot of question marks down the depth chart at both positions.

The defense might give up 300 yards rushing a game, no joke.

As the offensive roster sits today it isn't promising.

This team is nowhere near competing after what they lost.

Washington got better, the Eagles got better and well the Giants, who knows, Dallas may finish last in the division if they don't find a way to win games with throwing the ball to CeeDee Lamb 55 times a game.

I'll be the first to tell you I wanted McCarthy gone after the loss to the Packers at home in January, yet you can't expect this man to win with what is going on.

He can say they are improving all he wants, but don't let him or anyone else fool you, this team is not going to be good.

We Have To Be Fair

We wanted to bash him last season for doing what he did, but in 2024, I hope he never punts and goes for it every single time they get the chance. They are going to need 4 downs to win football games.

The wide receiver room and cornerback room are the two above average units they have.

They rest either lost a starter or depth everywhere else.
