Here is what Mike McCarthy says about the Criticism of Cowboys in NFL Free Agency….read more..

Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy isn’t going to dwell on what has been a relatively quiet offseason for the team.

“Don’t feel bad for me,” he told reporters at the NFL annual meeting. “I’m in a great spot. …It’s not an issue at all. You have to have the same approach every year and that’s the way I’ve gone about it.”

The coach was also asked about the team’s lack of noticeable upgrades with leading rusher Tony Pollard and eight-time Pro Bowler Tyron Smith among the departures.

“I understand the question based on the numbers, but let’s be honest,” McCarthy said, per the Dallas Morning News‘ David Moore. “It’s always a year-to-year approach. The design of your roster, there’s always going to be some variance.

“But I think philosophically, you have to draft and develop. If you look at my history as a head coach, it’s something I’m very comfortable with and have a lot of experience in.”

In a remark that will be oft-cited depending on how this year unfolds, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said in January the organization would be going “all in” for 2024. By March, however, he was preaching a more economical approach to building a winner.

It was basically impossible to present any other narrative because everybody could see how little the Cowboys have done in free agency.
