Cowboys fans would make for a better GM than Jerry Jones.
The 2024 offseason was one to forget for the Dallas Cowboys. It is objectively one of the worst offseasons in recent memory.
It’s one thing to allow a plethora of impact players to walk out out the door, but Jerry and Stephen Jones did nothing to offset those losses.
In addition, the Joneses failed to sign a quality nose tackle, ignored the running back position and banked on Dallas’ young receivers to make a leap when there had been zero evidence to suggest they were prepared to do so. Mike McCarthy was really dealt a brutal hand in the final year of his contract.

As far as the NFL Draft is concerned, it has been a tough rookie season for first-round pick Tyler Guyton. The No. 29 overall pick, Guyton has been reduced to a part-time player over the last handful of games, splitting time at left tackle with veteran Chuma Edoga.
Cowboys fans were very vocal in the offseason about inserting two rookies into the offensive line and how that might impact the offense. Was it a necessary change? Probably, but Jerry Jones didn’t have a backup plan ready in case Guyton hit a rookie wall.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones admits starting two rookie offensive linemen was a gamble
Appearing on 105.3 The Fan on Friday, Jones conceded it was shortsighted to think the offensive line wouldn’t skip a beat plugging in Guyton at left tackle and third-round pick Cooper Beebe at center to replace Tyler Biadasz.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones on @1053thefan when talking about rookie offensive linemen Tyler Guyton and Cooper Beebe, said he “probably got a little out over my skis, thinking just plug those guys in.”
