USAT: Cowboys Wire

Mar 13, 2022

The Dallas Cowboys haven’t won anything substantial in almost three decades, and this January’s unceremonious exit from the playoffs in the wild card round only exacerbated the fanbase’s frustration. The malaise from another exit before reaching the NFC championship game, much less the Super Bowl, has lingered for weeks, and an offseason full of black eyes on the organization has only led to more infuriation. - To make matters worse, over the last several weeks the chatter about moving on from one or even multiple star players crescendoed and was fully realized with Saturday’s trade of Amari Cooper to the Cleveland Browns. The return, a fifth-round pick and a swap of sixths, was not what many fans feel was an adequate return for losing a No. 1 receiver. This is despite the clear connection between the remaining $60 million the acquiring team was committing to lessening what level of draft compensation they’d be willing to part with. - The Cowboys on the other hand, had no real options other than moving on from Cooper. - With decades-long frustration ruling the thought process, fans have worked themselves into a furor over a perceived mismanagement of resources. Are they right, though? Is the anger justified or is there a rational explanation for how Dallas is here?
