It’s been a frustrating 2022 for fans of the Dallas Cowboys. After a second-half slide, the 2021 season ended with the thud of being the only home team to lose on wild-card weekend. Since, the team has decided to run it back with their coaching staff, as Mike McCarthy and his top three assistants (OC Kellen Moore, DC Dan Quinn, STC John Fassel) will all return for another season. There are, however, talks that the roster could see some major shakeups and that comes with a bunch of frustration from large numbers of the fan base.
Rumor has it that the club is highly considering, leaning even, to releasing WR Amari Cooper and defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence. Two of the club’s highest paid players at two of the five key positions (the others being quarterback, cornerback and left tackle – labeled the Money 5 in these parts) on the chopping block? The conventional wisdom is how in the world could the club consider making these moves and still say with a straight face they are looking to compete in 2022?
