Well, after a week of free agents getting signed left and right, the Dallas Cowboys once again have showed all the fans they simply don’t care enough about winning football games.
After clearing all the cap space they did last week, they have done nothing in return in making this football team better.
While you go around the league, you see team after team getting better every single day, the Dallas Cowboys have gotten worse, actually.
With the NFL Draft in about a month, the Cowboys pick 12th, and with the moves that some other teams have made via free agency, the outlook of the Cowboys draft may look a lot different.

One team I hint at is the Chicago Bears, who pick two spots ahead of Dallas was probably prepared to pick an offensive lineman, but after their productive week, they know can take the best available player, and that guy might Ashton Jeanty.
Jeanty is the guy many thought the Cowboys would take, but now I am not so sure.
Who Knows
At this point, I have no idea what this front office is going to do. They will probably draft some guy who is a project and wasn’t supposed to be drafted until the second round.
They are looking to beef up both the offensive line and defensive line, and sure they signed Soloman Thomas, but he is a role guy. They also added a guy from the Dolphins on the offensive side, but now I think they have to wait to get a running back in maybe the 2nd or 3rd round and go a bigger need.
Derrick Harmon, a defensive lineman from Oregon, fits the bill if he is there.
Harmon does a lot of things well and would help give the Cowboys help with Osa Odighizuwa.
He would fit nicely in Matt Eberflus’ four-down defense. He’s likely never going to be a high-end sack guy, but Harmon can stay on the field because of his ability to affect the run and pass.
This idea has really flipped from a week ago, when the front office cleared as much space as they did, like why even do that if you don’t plan to do anything at all?

They could have signed the players they have this week without making more room, so what is the point?
This Won’t Work
Now they are going to need to lean on the draft in which they probably won’t even get the player that everyone thought they would two weeks ago.
That is because teams have been active in free agency and filled what they needed to fill, while the Cowboys front office is sitting back acting like this won’t fail for the 500th time in a row.
Not only did they not doing anything, they also traded for a CB who is not good at football.

Dallas traded for Kaiir Elam a former first round pick of the Bills, they traded a 5th and 7th round pick, he won’t even be on the roster before the regular season starts and if he is, this team is in serious trouble.
Jerry Jones is adding former first round picks for cheap because they did not work out on other teams as his form of free agency, and it is not going to work.
I don’t know what else the Dallas Cowboys can do, but this isn’t it. Trading for former first round bust that will never pan out is not the move, Jerry and another attempt at doing it your way is going to fail. It is getting funny.
