Why it's all-in or else for the 2024 Dallas Cowboys​

Normally, there is an optimism surrounding the beginning o Dallas Cowboysf training camp with hope abounding that this will finally be the year they end their Super Bowl drought. Instead, there is a lack of buzz after an offseason with more key personnel losses than arrivals, as well as the uncertainty of the contract talks involving Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb and Micah Parsons. The Cowboys appear further away from ending the Super Bowl drought that is closing in on 30 years than they were in January. The Cowboys' path to their first NFC Championship Game since 1995 appeared to be favorable with two games at AT&T Stadium, where they had won 16 straight regular-season games. With 1:50 left in the first half, the Packers had a 27-0 lead against the Cowboys on their way to a 48-32 victory that did not feel even that close. But can the Cowboys say they are a better team now than when they walked off the field against the Packers?

Not only is McCarthy in the final year of his contract, so is his entire coaching staff, including defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer, who replaces Dan Quinn, now the Commanders' head coach. And not only is Prescott 17 regular-season games away from being able to hit the open market at 31 years old, so are 24 other Cowboys. Gone is Tony Pollard, who ran for 1,000 yards, replaced by a backfield committee that will include Ezekiel Elliott , who is coming off the lowest output of his career when he shared the workload with the New England Patriots last season. Gone is Tyron Smith, the future Hall of Fame left tackle. At cornerback, gone (at least for the moment) is cornerback Stephen Gilmore, and will Trevon Diggs' return from a torn ACL go smoothly? Gone is center Tyler Biadasz, who will be replaced by Brock Hoffman, who has two career starts, or third-round pick Cooper Beebe.
