Dallas Cowboys 'BLOW IT UP' on Purpose? 'All In' Moves Hint at Secret 'Rebuild' in 2025
By Mike Fisher
FRISCO - At the start of this offseason, we gently suggested that maybe the translation of Jerry Jones' "all in'' promise is actually, "We're All In for 2024 ... And Then All Y'All Are All Out!''
And now NFL free agency has unfolded, and the Dallas Cowboys are anything but "all in'' ... thus fortifying our theory and empowering us to push it forward ...
What if the Cowboys' "top-secret'' plan is to NOT push credit-card cap impact into future years? What if the Cowboys' "top-secret'' plan is to try to win in 2024, of course - the roster is too good to "tank'' - but to not spend excessively to do so?
Want three examples of how this seems like a viable guess?
Consider ...
*Who is the priciest guy on the Dallas defense, and when is his contract up? That would be Demarcus Lawrence. His deal is done after 2024. And in 2025 he will be 33 years old.
Who is the priciest guy on the Dallas offense, and when might he be done? That would be Zack Martin. His deal just got a bit more complicated, but it has been scheduled to void after 2024. And in 2025 he will be 35 years old.
Do you, Dear Reader, see where we're going here? The Jones family isn't fully sold on this present Dak-led roster core. So Jerry and Stephen are straddling the fence of "kinda trying to win now'' and "keeping our powder dry for when we can win in the future''?
The coaching staff is all out of contract after 2024. So are the three highest-paid guys on the roster, all in their 30's. The core of Micah Parsons, Tyler Smith, CeeDee Lamb and Trevon Diggs make up building blocks. ...
That could all be a part of "rebuilding'' following a "blow-it-up'' of the Cowboys as we now know them. ... as we discuss here in the Fish Report.
