The Dallas Cowboys' front office does not demonstrate much creativity in their roster-building process. Most of the heavy lifting is done in the draft, where they find All-Pro players and then re-sign them to long-term deals. They don’t spend much money in free agency, and every once in a while, they orchestrate a trade. That’s the synopsis of the Cowboys' roster-building approach.
While the fanbase is thirsting for them to make moves, a couple of trades in recent years have not panned out as we hoped. In back-to-back years, the Cowboys traded away their fourth-round pick to acquire a player from another team.
