Following the Dallas Cowboys’ disappointing exit from the NFL playoffs, suffering a loss to the Green Bay Packers in the opening round, speculation was rife about significant changes within the team, particularly regarding the coaching staff and potentially the quarterback position.
Contrary to expectations, team owner Jerry Jones has indicated a different course of action.
Jones is keen on securing star quarterback Dak Prescott with a lucrative, long-term extension, potentially reshaping the quarterback market. Additionally, Jones has expressed confidence in head coach Mike McCarthy, affirming his continuation with the team for the upcoming season.
However, for fans hoping for tangible improvements, the lack of significant moves during the NFL offseason has been disconcerting. The absence of notable acquisitions has left many questioning the direction of the franchise.
Despite the quiet offseason, the upcoming 2024 NFL Draft presents an opportunity for the Cowboys to bolster their roster. They have now reportedly met with elite linebacker Junior Colson from the University of Michigan, who would be a big addition to their defense.

While Colson possesses undeniable talent and could enhance the team’s defensive depth, some may question the necessity given the presence of Micah Parsons, widely regarded as one of the best linebackers in the league.
Nevertheless, it’s important to note that player visits during this time of the year are routine, and the Dallas Cowboys’ draft strategy remains uncertain as the April 25 draft approaches.
