The Dallas Cowboys are always good, but never good enough to go all the way. Something needs to change. Here is what I would do as the Dallas Cowboys GM.
CUTS
To start it off, we are cutting RB Ezekiel Elliot. He is expensive and really does not bring anything to the table. After franchise tagging Tony Pollard, the Cowboys will have a very good RB1.
TRADES
The next thing we are doing is the biggest move of the offseason. We are trading Dak Presscott to the Las Vegas Raiders. We will get one first round pick(2023), two second round picks(2023,2024), and one 5th round pick(2023). Dak Presscott has had injuries and he has always been inconsistent. For the Cowboys to contend, they need to trade Dak Presscott.
RE-SIGNINGS
As for re-signings, here is who I would re-sign:
-Cooper Rush
-Donovan Wilson
-Anthony Brown
-Leighton Vander-Esch
-Johnathan Hankings
-Jason Peters
-Carlos Watkins
-Brett Maher
FREE AGENCY
Now, in free agency, there are still a few holes that need to be filled.
To start, we will sign Damien Harris. Pollard and Harris will make a deadly backfield duo, and the Cowboys run game will be elite.
Next, we are signing CB Jamel Dean. This will solidify the CB position and our secondary will be elite.
The last big signing in free agency is Guard Isaac Seumalo. He will fill our glaring offensive line need, which definetely needed to be addressed.
DRAFT
Now comes the biggest part of our offseason: The NFL Draft
With Pick 7, which we get from the Raiders, we will trade with the Cardinals for the No.3 pick. With the No.3 Pick, we will be selecting QB CJ Stroud. He will be the Quarterback of the future for us. With pick 26, we will be selecting TE Michael Mayer. He will add another weapon for Stroud, and will fill Dalton Schultz's role. In the second round, we will take a Linebacker/Edge to get some depth and hopefully a starter.
RECAP
After all this, the Cowboys will have a very solid roster. Here were the major moves we made:
-Cut Ezekiel Elliot
-Trade Dak Presscott
-Sign Damien Harris
-Sign Jamel Dean
-Sign Isaac Seumalo
-Trade up for No.3 and draft Stroud
-Draft Michael Mayer
-Draft Linebacker/Edge depth
If the Cowboys do this, they will become immediate contenders in a relatively weak NFC.
