If Dallas is genuinely committed to opening the checkbook and sacrificing capital to win now, the front office must pursue an aggressive retooling strategy to keep their competitive window open. Acquiring game-changing talent—anchored by elite edge rushers Maxx Crosby or Josh Sweat, dynamic backfield options James Conner or Tre Benson, defensive back Riley Moss, and tackle Walker Little—presents an immediate, high-impact blueprint to restore physical, championship-level play across both sides of the ball.
