Cowboys decade-long track record of under-investing in team suggests Jones family is not in it to win it

The Cowboys have traditionally shied away from spending big in free agency, and this year has proven to be no different. Dallas has repeatedly expressed their preference for signing their own players to contract extensions and have frequently and regularly cited the salary cap as a key reason why they don’t splurge in free agency. Also, it feels like every year, there seem to be players on the roster the Cowboys need to sign/re-sign to cap-crippling contracts. This year, those players are Dak Prescott, Cedee Lamb, and perhaps Micah Parsons. Last year, it was Trevon Diggs and Terence Steele, next year it’ll be someone else yet again.
