Why the Cowboys shouldn’t try to match the Eagles roster-building approach

The Philadelphia Eagles are Super Bowl champions. Congrats to them. They did some great things, blah, blah, blah. We’re sure their moms are proud.

For the Dallas Cowboys, it creates opportunities for jealousy. Not just watching a divisional rival hoist the Lombardi trophy, but also enduring another season where they failed to move the needle. It can be rather frustrating. Sometimes the disappointment can be so unbearable that it messes with your judgment.

Recency bias is so powerful that some have suggested the Eagles are now the model franchise. Risk-taking and aggressive spending are the way to go and Jerry Jones should be more like Jeffrey Lurie, even going as far as saying the Cowboys owner should sell some shares of the Cowboys to generate some cash he could then use to acquire free agents.
