You can call me negative or whatever you would like... But I think it's pretty fair to be upset about how FA went for the Cowboys. The trade of Rashan Gary and the signing of Jalen Thompson doesn't really move the needle.

Patriots are releasing Anfernee Jennings today.

For the insatiable Cowboys fans asking what’s next? “Not a lot going on” per a team source. BUT I did ask if they are at least poking around on CB Tariq Woolen. Sounds like it’s more evaluating, discussing right now but he’s on their list of due diligence. As I reported yesterday, they felt good about their offer to Nakobe Dean and seems his side appreciated it too. “Similar to Las Vegas” and another told me it was “slightly higher” but that was a Dean decision that he struggled with. He ultimately chose comfort and familiarity w locker room. As for Queen, didn’t feel unanimous in the building and therefore the team isn’t interested in reaching to fill a position of need. The point is they will spend if the player makes sense/cents for them. They seem to be putting a premium on familiarity with scheme, versatility and ready now. I do think Trey Hendrickson is something they are watching but injury concern and over evaluation of value is factor here. Like other teams, seems they just want to monitor where that market goes but yesterday another source told me they liked what they did with Rashan Gary and weren’t gonna double down on a high dollar edge.

Just talked with someone close to the situation and apparently Dallas was actually very competitive in the Nakobe Dean market. He was one of their 5 zooms allowed. I’m told their offer was similar to the Raiders but ultimately he went with his gut feeling but was told he could have seen himself in both places and it was “51/49” margin but Raiders won this one. At least tells you Dallas is trying 🤷🏼‍♀️

Specifically: It’s a 2027 4th rounder for Gary.
