WHAT CAN WE DO?

BY MARK HALPERN

It’s definitely hard being a Dallas Cowboys fan these days. For the better part of the last three decades, Cowboys’ fans have been promised glory and there have been glimmers of hope over the years but, we haven’t been able to grab that brass ring or in this case a Super Bowl Trophy. I mean come on Sheldon Cooper won a Nobel Prize and we can’t even win a Wild Card Game. So the question is since the Cowboys have really screwed themselves cap wise over the years and are told “We are all in this season” and then not one major signing. I feel like Oliver with my bowl saying “Please sir can I have some more” but not because I am hungry but, because I am glutton for punishment every year. 

   The Cowboys have options left out there and one that actually makes sense and would not cost Dallas much is to call Houston and see what Dameon Pierce would cost. I would assume a 6^th round pick would be more than enough. Yes, I know Pierce has been on a downward trend over the years and Houston just traded for Joe Mixon and could use the pick. Right now, it’s looking as Dallas might look towards the draft to replace a running back and not with their first pick either. 

     This draft is more Quarterbacks, Wide Receivers and Offensive lineman and will occupy most of the first round. Dallas can find themselves in a unique position in the second round at #56. Jaylen Wright from Tennessee would be an immediate upgrade to their situation and would team well with the Cowboys offensive play. The case also could be made for Jonathon Brooks from Texas. By all his grades he is poised for the NFL and will probably be the first of the running backs off the board and if that happens the Cowboys can still upgrade with a draft pick.

  What did Jones mean when he said he was “Going all in” to Cowboys fans. Well, the best people close to the situation don’t even know the answer. The one RUMOR that has been circling has been the name DIGGS. Could the Cowboys pull off a deal with Buffalo to bring the brothers together? It would be very hard to think so but Diggs has been saying he would entertain a trade but, Buffalo would need one hell of a package and where would this money come from? Well, I have absolutely no idea but, Once Prescott’s contract is fully redone and Cowboys fans realize that Dak is here to stay. Even at $60million per year sounds unreal but in reality, it isn’t. Out of the top ten paid quarterbacks in the league less than 30% have a Superbowl ring or even appearance. So, when you have invested so much you don’t throw it out the window and start over when your just inches or yards in this case to being even better. 

   The Cowboys will have some decisions before next months draft and maybe we will be pleasantly surprised by what happens but let’s face it we don’t expect it. Also Jerry need to know what all in means.
