Reflecting on the season: How the Dallas Cowboys will be even better in 2019

The Dallas Cowboys 2018 offseason started out a little bumpy. The franchise’s all-time leader in touchdown catches, Dez Bryant, was released. Then, future first-ballot Hall of Fame tight end and franchise leader in catches, Jason Witten, retired. On draft day when fans expected to get a new star wide receiver, boos rained out inside AT&T stadium when the team selected Boise State linebacker Leighton Vander Esch. As if that wasn’t bad enough, news broke that their All-Pro center Travis Frederick had been diagnosed with Guillain-Barré syndrome, a disorder in which the immune system attacks the body’s nervous system.
