There’s just a week to go until the Dallas Cowboys open 2022 training camp in Oxnard. It seems that no matter the reality, people find grounds for optimism and excitement about the team. I’ve been a bit (OK, a lot) of a curmudgeon about that all offseason. The team stumbled with the Randy Gregory contract negotiation. Trading Amari Cooper away is still a very questionable decision. Predictably, sad as that is, Stephen Jones has treated salary cap space like a treasure hoard that must be guarded at all costs, with only a handful of bargain signings. That leaves us facing a season with the Cowboys needing too many things to go just right.
The Cowboys margin of error in 2022 is small, and it’s their own fault
