Going into week 1 the Dallas Cowboys are thin at secondary. Two of their safeties, Xavier Woods and Kavon Frazier probably won’t be available due to injuries. Woods dealing with a torn hamstring and Frazier has a dislocated shoulder.
Problem with the Cowboys is that they’ve letting go more talent than they’ve acquired refer to my last article Do the Dallas Cowboys Acquire Star Talent Anymore. It is such a disappointment as a fan to watch falter so early in a new era of the team. You never know when your window is closing as a franchise to win a championship. Dallas has Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott on their rookie contracts while Tank is playing under the franchise tag and has made it clear he won’t play under it again.
Now is the time to gamble in the off-season now that you have a little bit of cap space to work with. The Dallas Cowboys offered the Seattle Seahawks a second round draft pick for Earl Thomas which was turned down. The Seahawks would like more than just a second round draft pick clearly after seeing Khalil Mack go to Chicago for two first round picks. Clearly Earl Thomas is at the end of his prime however still one of top the free safeties in this league. Why wouldn’t you want get Earl Thomas by any means, if your Jerry Jones and believe that your not far from a Super Bowl, than why not to make sure.
