From a 12-5 record to missing the playoffs – Did NFL Free Agency Sink the Cowboys?
After a lackluster approach to free agency, the Dallas Cowboys’ chances of missing the 2024 playoffs seem increasingly likely. With key personnel like Dak Prescott and coach Mike McCarthy facing uncertain futures, the team’s roster has suffered significant losses in recent weeks.
Notable starters on both offense and defense have departed, leaving the Cowboys with a depleted lineup and only linebacker Eric Kendricks as a significant addition.
CBS Sports identifies the Cowboys as one of six playoff teams from 2023 that could fail to make the postseason in 2024. The pressure is mounting on Prescott and McCarthy, with owner Jerry Jones pushing for a deep playoff run.
Despite retaining elite playmakers like Prescott and CeeDee Lamb, concerns linger over the offensive line and overall skill set of the team. The Cowboys must navigate these challenges to remain competitive in the upcoming season.
