FRISCO, Texas -- It will happen starting next week. There will be a flurry of free agent activity and the Dallas Cowboys will be mostly silent.
The calls for Jerry Jones to sell the team will be made over and over. Again. The belief that Jones doesn’t really want to win will be barked over and over. Again. When the Cowboys do make their first signing -- say keeping long-snapper Jake McQuaide -- it will be met with a mocking “Super Bowl bound” comment on social media.
The Cowboys have not made a financially significant outside signing in free agency since signing cornerback Brandon Carr to a five-year, $50 million deal in 2012.
