ESPN expert warns this Dallas Cowboys team have already peaked

Ever since free agency officially opened, the Dallas Cowboys are the only team that isn’t doing much to strengthen their roster.

Considering that owner Jerry Jones’ statement has raised the expectations of the fans and probably the players, the situation of America’s Team gets a little worse. Claiming that your team is going “All-in” in 2024 and showing no commitment when you need to bring in new additions to the squad is alarming to say the least.

Taking stock of Dallas’ free-agency record, the result looks negative because the team is losing more important players and is not filling out the roster with good players at the same rate.

Here are the Cowboys’ losses so far:

What Dallas still has to work on

There are still a few pieces left in the free-agency that might be worthy of pursuit, but it seems Jones’ plan is to rely on the most he can extract from the Draft.

The possible long-term renewal of Dak Prescott’s contract is still a pendency that is delaying other important extensions of the team. Micah Parsons and Cee Dee Lamb still haven’t had their deals prolonged yet.

For this season, in which the salary cap is not the best, entering into an agreement with the quarterback would allow the team to spend more money and execute the project of going ‘All-in’.

ESPN reporter Dan Orlovsky, in the latest edition of the Get Up show, expresed his indignation at the Cowboys’ current scenario.

“The day after the Green Bay game I would have moved on from everyone, though.”

“At some point, you realise this version is as good as we are going to be. And part of it was knowing what was down the line financially. Part of it was knowing and understanding the $60 million dollar cap hit.”

Orlovsky also criticised the organisation’s handling of things with Prescott and no longer seem too believe that he still has a successful future with the franchise.

“He’s a good quarterback, he’s had moments of really good quarterback play, but we for some reason as a team can’t get past through what we have to get past through to achieve the ultimate goal.”

“If they were serious about winning Super Bowls…and I know there’s no trade clause in his contract, but players wave no trades clauses for certain situations.”

“That’s the reality of who the Cowboys are. They’ve, in many ways, peaked this version.”
