Philosophy is a funny thing, it can change at any time to suite your ideas. In the case of the Dallas Cowboys, they have altered their philosophy on how they are building their team. Gone are the days where the team spent foolishly, took years digging themselves out of salary cap hell and then overpaying again in free agency. It had become a blueprint for the Cowboys.
The pattern has changed. Dallas now builds through the draft and dips their toe in free agency only after the high-priced commodities are off the market. The philosophy is simple; draft well, re-sign your own players to second contracts and don’t overpay for free agents.
