One NFL analyst has low expectations for the Dallas Cowbos in 2024 which could put them in danger of missing the playoffs.
Dallas Cowboys fans always enter the NFL regular season with high expectations, but this year some are pumping the brakes.
The lack of moves from the team in the offseason and their biggest move being the addition of an aging Ezekiel Elliott have some fans wondering just how far the team can go.Nate Davis cites the "lame duck campaigns" coming for Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, and head coach Mike McCarthy, who are all entering the final years of their deals.
"But his coach , quarterback and, arguably, best player are currently scheduled to enter a lame-duck campaign on the heels of an offseason when the Cowboys were depleted by free agency, apparently unwilling to further cripple their cap in the near term.," he writes.Matt Kartozian-USA TODAY Sports "To survive, they’ll likely need new coordinator Mike Zimmer to sustain what’s been an opportunistic defense and McCarthy to prove this offense is more than an aerial show while enduring a brutal four-game stretch following a Week 7 bye that includes three opponents that were 2023 playoff teams. Feels like too much to ask, especially given what could be lingering off-field distractions.
That would mean a complete rebuild in the future for the Cowboys, especially with CeeDee Lamb and Micah Parsons' deals still urgently in need of attention.Dallas will kick off its 2024 campaign on Sunday, September 8, on the road against the Cleveland Browns. Tom Brady will be making his broadcasting debut for the game on FOX.
