Exclusive: $20 Million Starter Could Bolt For Kansas City Chiefs

The Dallas Cowboys have always had some of the most intriguing storylines in the NFL, but heading into 2024, it’s nearly difficult to anticipate what Jerry Jones and company have in store.

If you listen to Jones, he’s maintaining to his declaration that Dallas is “all in” for 2024, with the objective of eventually making the playoffs and securing another Lombardi Trophy.

After the Cowboys were eliminated from the playoffs early, this rationale made sense. They had a squad stocked with talent on both sides of the field, and its franchise quarterback, Dak Prescott, was in the MVP debate for most of the year, finishing 2023 with one of his greatest statistical seasons as a pro. The Dallas Cowboys were unbeaten at home and entered the playoffs as the No. 2 seed.

But, as everybody with a pulse has come to anticipate, Dallas choked in the first round of the playoffs, losing to a youthful Green Bay Packers squad that barely made the postseason.

There was speculation that Jerry Jones might make substantial moves following the loss, but he did not. He kept head coach Mike McCarthy until 2024 and made it obvious that Prescott will be the team’s quarterback going forward.

Almost every NFL Insider projected that the Dallas Cowboys would grant Prescott a contract extension to free up salary space and add new players in free agency, but Jones has done nothing and is allowing Dak Prescott to play out the final year of his deal.

The team has lost key coaches, including defensive coordinator Dan Quinn, who moved several assistants to the Cowboys’ rival, Washington, when he accepted the head coaching position.

There is conjecture that Cowboys management is on the verge of signing a substantial contract deal with one of its top talents.

Yet we are in the middle of April and nothing has been done to secure the future of Prescott, CeeDee Lamb or Micah Parsons. As of now, Lamb appears to be holding out until he lands a new contract.

Stephen Jones And Dallas Cowboys Brass Breaks Silence On Offseason

The Cowboys have been next-level quiet this offseason, with almost no moves done in free agency to replace the talent they lost from last year’s squad.

CeeDee Lamb is expected to get a new deal before training camp making him one of the highest paid wide receivers in the NFL, but nothing is certain until ink reaches paper.

When asked about the lack of moves made but his dad’s claim that Dallas was “all-in” for 2024, Cowboys VP Stephen Jones made it clear the organization doesn’t have enough money available in the salary cap to make major moves.

Stephen Jones claims that the idea of “all-in” is subjective. Further, he states that the Dallas Cowboys will have spent the maximum amount of money possible by the 2024 regular season.

“Everybody has their own definition of what that means, but I’ve never not known us to be all in, nor have I known anyone we compete against not to be all in,” Jones said. “We spend max, max money year in and year out,” Jones said. “All 32 can only spend the same amount of money over a five-year stretch. When we’re all said and done, we max out our salary cap every year. We will have done that. What comes with having a good roster, which we do, we’re also looking towards signing our own guys.”

If Dallas is going to make a run at a Super Bowl in 2024, it better find a way to lock down its most important players ASAP.
