It’s hard to argue that the Dallas Cowboys haven’t taken a step back in free agency from where they were at the end of the 2016.
Executive vice president Stephen Jones even conceded that point to the Star-Telegram on Sunday in the lobby of the posh Biltmore Hotel, site of the NFL owners meetings, which begin Monday and run through Wednesday.
But he also sees hope on the horizon in the 2017 NFL Draft.
Jones said the Cowboys have a great opportunity in the draft to not only replace the players they lost but also upgrade the talent to take the much needed step forward toward a Super Bowl berth for the first time since 1995.
