Cowboys face scrutiny for lack of moves as free agency despite Jerry Jones being 'all-in'

Dallas Cowboys team owner Jerry Jones told reporters at the Senior Bowl earlier this year the team was "all-in" this offseason, which piqued fans’ interest in what the team was going to do in free agency.

Jones later clarified during the NFL Scouting Combine that the definition of "all-in" may be different in his vocabulary than others. He explained it was all about thinking and coaching differently when it came to their players, free agency and the draft itself, according to ESPN.

Over the last couple of days, Cowboys fans saw Chris Jones re-sign with the Kansas City Chiefs, Saquon Barkley reportedly agree to a deal with the Philadelphia Eagles and a whole host of other top talent make deals and end their free agency early. 

Instead, Dallas fans saw running back Tony Pollard agree to a deal with the Tennessee Titans and defensive end Dorance Armstrong and center Tyler Biadasz leave for the Washington Commanders, according to multiple reports. Cowboys fans did not appear to be too happy.

"I do not like the sound of this and it damn sure feel like it won’t be a winning season unless they get some proven vets in the building," Bryant wrote in response to a report the Cowboys were unlikely to pursue Derrick Henry, Austin Ekeler or other top running backs.
