Dallas Cowboys Predicted To Replace Michael Gallup With ‘Explosive’ Downfield Threat.

The Dallas Cowboys seem to be in the middle of an internal struggle and this doesn’t feel like the ideal way to head into a 2024 campaign where Jerry Jones said his team was “all-in” when it comes to making a run at a Super Bowl that has alluded the franchise for so long.

Last season felt different, Mike McCarthy took over play calling and Dak Prescott put up one of his best statistical years, leading the MVP conversation for most of the regular season.

Prescott closed out the 2023 regular season ranked in the top five in several major categories for NFL QB. He entered the playoff matchup against the Green Bay Packers with 4,516 yards (3rd), 36 touchdowns (1st), 9 interceptions and a QB rating of 72.5 (2nd).

Finally, Prescott and CeeDee Lamb found the perfect chemistry and emerged as arguably the top QB/WR tandem in the league.

Beyond Dak Prescott and the explosive offense that averaged 389 yards and 30 points per game and finished with 77 touchdowns in the regular season, the Dallas Cowboys had a defense that finished the season ranked 5th in the NFL.

After another disappointing early exit in the playoffs, the Dallas brass entered the offseason with more question marks than answers.

When Jones decided to run it back in 2024 with McCarthy as head coach and Prescott as QB, all expectations were the Cowboys would extend their franchise QB to open up cap room to bring in new talent to replace the players that departed in free agency.

Instead, the Dallas Brass has done virtually nothing since the end of the 2023 season. It’s been reported that Prescott will play out the final year of his current contract, limiting the team in a major way when it comes to adding talent via free agency.

So far, the Cowboys have lost starting running back Tony Pollard, starting tackle Tyron Smith and wide receiver Michal Gallup just to name a few players who joined new teams in free agency.
