It nearly looks like Jerry Jones desires to see the Dallas Cowboys enter a rebuild.
This offseason, the phrase “negligence” involves thoughts when describing the Cowboys. They misplaced longtime left sort out Tyron Smith to the New York Jets. Tony Pollard went to the Tennessee Titans. Middle Tyler Biadasz went to the Washington Commanders. And the record goes on.
Most outrageously, the Cowboys didn’t prolong quarterback Dak Prescott or stud receiver CeeDee Lamb.
Getting into his ninth season in Dallas, Jones continues to be hesitant to decide to Prescott for no matter motive. This offseason, we’ve seen the quarterback market explode with large offers for Jordan Love, Tua Tagovailoa and Trevor Lawrence. However Prescott nonetheless waits, and he can be an unrestricted free agent after the season.
The identical factor applies to his No. 1 weapon, Lamb, who was Dalllas’s first-round choose within the 2020 NFL Draft. In his first 4 years within the league, he’s solidified himself as top-of-the-line cross catchers in soccer.
Jones nonetheless received’t decide to Lamb, both. On Thursday, he said that he “doesn’t have any urgency” to get a deal performed for his high wideout.
Perhaps Jerry is bluffing. Perhaps the Cowboys will make Lamb the highest-paid non-quarterback ever. Perhaps for as soon as, Dallas will get out of their method and do the appropriate factor.
However for now, Lamb has each proper to be mad on the scenario. He has 5,145 receiving yards in 4 seasons with 32 landing catches. He’s solely 25 years previous.
Lamb’s response to Jones’s feedback right this moment was completely correct.
Lamb has each motive to snigger out loud. This complete scenario surrounding the Cowboys is laughable. His scenario is outright insane. The Cowboys have a possibility to lock up their very own premium younger receiver all through their prime and received’t do it.
Once more, perhaps Jones has some type of grasp plan right here. Perhaps he’s not offered on Mike McCarthy because the group’s head coach. However why wouldn’t you wish to maintain your famous person participant round?
There are no less than 20 different NFL groups that might love Lamb on their roster. Positive, if the Cowboys have a sloppy begin to the season, they may commerce Lamb for a king’s ransom on the NFL commerce deadline. However even when Dallas heads towards a rebuild, I’d think about Jones wish to have no less than one marketable star.
The longer this drags out, he’s not getting any cheaper. And he’s scheduled to play on his fifth-year possibility. Jones ought to most likely begin feeling some urgency as a result of his star receiver is publicly laughing at him. And so is everyone else.
