Heading into the 2024 season the Dallas Cowboys were considered one of the top four teams to win the NFC, along with the San Francisco 49ers, Philadelphia Eagles, and Detroit Lions. Now, currently sitting at 3-4, that seems highly unlikely with the way their season has already gone.
The Cowboys’ tumble from the top isn't all that surprising considering their approach to the offseason this year. They made few moves in free agency despite losing several key contributors, instead deciding to lean on young and unproven players. This approach was a gamble and it looks as if it's blown up in their face.
