Maybe when Jerry Jones said the Dallas Cowboys were “all in” on the 2024 season, he meant all in his pocket.
The Cowboys owner reached inside and came up with lint during this offseason, as Dallas was the NFL’s lowest-spending team by more than $50 million. Jones cut checks totaling only $93.4 million, making the Cowboys the lone team not to reach the nine-figure mark.
By contrast, the Detroit Lions led all teams in spending, committing nearly $626.5 million in future spending.
Here’s how the entire NFL stacked up:
The Cowboys’ paltry spending has been a major surprise, particularly as Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb and Micah Parsons await new extensions this offseason. Jones was also adamant about 2024 being an “all-in” season as far back as February.
Instead, none of the stars have received a dollar as Jones sat on his hands, seemingly alienating his stars in the process. Parsons and Lamb have been absent throughout the team’s offseason program as Jones has repeated his public stance about being all in despite evidence to the contrary.
“Your definition of what is all in and mine might not be the same thing, but I’m trying to win the games this year with my decision,” Jones told reporters in March. “So I’m all in to this year.”
The Cowboys spent an NFL-low $16.5 million in free agency, with a reunion with running back Ezekiel Elliott being their only signing that could be considered a splash.
Suffice it to say Jones will have an angry fanbase to answer to if the Cowboys fail to make a deep run in the playoffs.
