The Dallas Cowboys will be looking for a bounce-back season in 2024.
According to ESPN’s latest 2024 NFL free agency projections, the Dallas Cowboys will be looking to upgrade the talent across their offensive line. Per the projections, the Cowboys could be moving swing tackle, Tyler Smith to left tackle following longtime staple Tyron Smith departing for the New York Jets. Smith moving to LT would leave a void at one of the club’s guard spots, which could be filled in either the upcoming NFL Draft, or as ESPN sees it, in free agency in the form of veteran Laken Tomlinson.
“With Tyron Smith leaving Dallas for Tomlinson’s old team to take over as Aaron Rodgers’s left tackle, the Cowboys have a hole on their offensive line. If Dallas wants to move 2022 first-round pick Tyler Smith from left guard to left tackle, Tomlinson could step in at guard, where his size would be a plus for a team that failed to impress in short-yardage and goal-line situations a year ago.”
Dallas Cowboys’ Disappointing 2023 Season
All was well in ‘Jerry World’ as the Dallas Cowboys began their season with a 7-2 record, which included a five-game winning streak over the likes of the Philadelphia Eagles, Seattle Seahawks, Washington Commanders, Carolina Panthers, and New York Giants. Despite a few losses to the Eagles, 49ers, and a shocking one in Arizona against the lowly Kyler Murray-less Cardinals, the Cowboys ended the regular season with back-to-back wins over the Jets and Giants to win the NFC East.
Unfortunately for the Dallas Cowboys, history repeated itself when Jerry Jones’ club was throttled by Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers in the NFC Wild Card in their own place, 48-32. After such an embarrassing loss to his old team, it was seemingly a foregone conclusion that Mike McCarthy would be the fall guy for the Cowboys’ short-coming…especially with names like Bill Belichick and Jim Harbaugh on the market.
However, Jerry Jones has other plans as he will keep McCarthy manning the sidelines in 2024, which will certainly be met with mixed reactions by Cowboys fans and foes alike.
