The last time Jerry Jones thought his team was “this close” it ended with the signing of Greg Hardy. That went well.
It really, really did.
The same for Pacman Jones. Or Joey Galloway. Or Roy Williams. Or Tank Johnson.
Whom are we missing?
The Dallas Cowboys should feel slightly better after this past season’s divisional round playoff loss to the Green Bay Packers than they did in 2015, but the problem remains the problem. The realistic answer remains Hope and Prayer, neither of whom is available this off-season.
Until they have a real solution this will remain the stumbling point between this franchise and their sixth Super Bowl title.
