Stephen Jones, vice president of football operations for the Dallas Cowboys, said he understands fans’ frustration over the team’s lack of signing players from the free agent market as they should. According to a report from The Athletic  ( superteeded  )

Cowboys fans were excited after team owner Jerry Jones revealed he was ready to spend all his money on building a team that would chase a Super Bowl title in the 2024 season, but that plan hasn’t generated any traction in the market. free agent They just watched other teams sign new players with bleary eyes.

The Cowboys made a small move by re-signing Nickelback cornerback Jourdan Lewis. Including making a deal with veteran linebacker Eric Kendricks only, that has made fans quite annoyed that the team didn’t do as Jones had previously said. 

‘Everyone absolutely has that right,’ Jones told The Athletic’s Jon Mechota. ‘I know where the frustration is. It is true that we have not had satisfactory playoff success. Until we do that Criticism will definitely be forthcoming.’

‘We knew it had to be there. But we will stay confident in what we believe will ultimately win us a championship here for our fans. We did not intend to give it our all. Based on what you spend on free agents It’s about maintaining the core (together).’

The Cowboys lost running back Tony Pollard, center Tyler Biadasz, defensive ends Dorrance Armstrong and Dante Fowler. Including defensive tackle Neville Gillimore and left tackle Tyron Smith. 

Due to Dak Prescott’s contract extension, the 30-year-old quarterback is entering the final year of his contract. The lack of movement on the free agent market is predictable given the Cowboys’ limited salary cap space and Dallas hasn’t spent big on a free agent since signing Brand. Don Carr in 2012 

In addition to extending Prescott’s contract, the Cowboys are also considering long-term deals with wing CD Lamb and linebacker Micah Parsons.

“It’s not frustrating because it means we did a good job with the draft,” Jones said when asked about missing out on top free agents. ‘That’s just a sign, in my mind, our organization, Will (McClay) and the scouts, the coaches, we’ve done our job in terms of player development. It’s good when you have Micah and CD and the challenge on Dak’s part (contract) in front of us. In terms of keeping them under cap. We are all ready to make that happen.’

‘When you want to keep your players you have developed and worked hard for. Then you won’t be able to go out and chase those people. (Free agents are expensive.) The way I look at it, I always say player acquisition is 365 days a year. It’s not just the first or second or third day of free agency.’
