Coming off a disappointing 6-10 season, it’s hard to view the Dallas Cowboys as a team with an excess of talent. And so much so that they may be willing to trade a player that was a Pro Bowler as recently as 2019. But some are wondering if that might be the case.
The Cowboys themselves created this excess during the 2021 NFL Draft. The team used their first-round selection to draft Penn State linebacker Micah Parsons. Then they used their first pick on day three of the draft to select LSU linebacker Jabril Cox in the fourth round.
