Gruden is going to clean house next year.
Tyron and Dez stay.
Murray has to give a discount or he's gone.
Carr, Carter, Church (probably not but I wish), Mincey, Spencer, Durant, Bernadeau, Free, Parnell gone. Claiborne possibly.
If Jerry's logic of "how do we ever benefit of all of the growing pains and mistakes Jason Garrett made unless we keep him" holds true at all, I would think Dez would be a career Cowboy.
Jim Harbaugh, Pete Carroll, and Jeff Fisher. Coaching has a huge impact in football. Also, the Cardinals have been quietly drafting well for years. In fact, all four NFC West teams have been drafting well recently.
Compare the Defensive Front 7 of those 4 teams to ours.
The Defense can be fixed next year. The problem is Jerry and Jason aren't competent or aggressive enough to pull it off. A new coach with clout, could fix the D in one year. In my opinion, the defense only needs to be serviceable with Romo and this offense.
Jerry West said the worst thing for a franchise is to barely miss or barely make the playoffs each year. To get better and really build a contender, you have to get worse.
