It appears that the Dallas Cowboys will be taking a conservative approach to free agency this offseason, and Cowboys fans are not happy about it. Jerry Jones has made it clear that he doesn’t see free agency as a way to fill major holes in the roster, and he’s instead looking to the draft to address the team’s needs.

This strategy is a risky one, especially considering the Cowboys’ recent struggles. They’ve missed the playoffs in two of the last three seasons, and they’re coming off a disappointing 7-10 campaign. Fans are understandably frustrated, and they’re hoping to see the team make some significant moves to improve the roster.

The Cowboys have already made some moves this offseason, including re-signing Osa Odighizuwa and restructuring Dak Prescott’s contract. However, they still have major needs at several positions, including wide receiver, offensive line, and cornerback.

If the Cowboys don’t make some significant additions in free agency, they’ll be putting a lot of pressure on their draft picks to contribute immediately. This is a risky strategy, and it could backfire if those picks don’t pan out.

The Cowboys are in a tough spot. They have a talented roster, but they also have some major holes to fill. If they want to compete for a Super Bowl, they’ll need to find a way to upgrade their roster, either through free agency or the draft. Jerry Jones’ comments suggest that he’s not willing to be aggressive in free agency, which could be a costly mistake for the Cowboys.
