It ranks 29th in opponent yards per play (5.8) and is surrendering 34.5 points per game over the last month. The unit is a trainwreck. A lot of the issues stem from injuries to guys like Parsons, DaRon Bland, Demarcus Lawrence, and others, but the lack of depth has been exposed in a major way.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_4o6kkn-o_O-style_1tcxgp3-o_O-style_1pinbx1-o_O-style_48hmcm\" data-mm-id=\"_yjcve5j5t\">Parsons&#8217; comments magnify the problem with Jones&#8217; allocation of resources. His stubborn, short-sighted approach in negotiations led to Dak Prescott receiving the highest annual salary at QB and CeeDee Lamb getting the second-highest at WR. Parsons is up next and will give Dallas three of the most expensive contracts in the entire NFL.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_4o6kkn-o_O-style_1tcxgp3-o_O-style_1pinbx1-o_O-style_48hmcm\" data-mm-id=\"_u4vs0wdsq\">Combine that top-heavy approach with a disastrous performance in the draft over the last few seasons and you&#8217;re left with a roster devoid of young, cheap talent. Parsons should&#8217;ve been making this point a year ago. Now that the money is already committed to the offense, it&#8217;s too late for Jones to fix the mess he created.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_4o6kkn-o_O-style_1tcxgp3-o_O-style_1pinbx1-o_O-style_48hmcm\" data-mm-id=\"_1aafao25f\">Instead, he&#8217;ll have to deal with comments like these from Parsons, which come at an interesting time given he&#8217;ll likely demand that the Cowboys reset the market with his upcoming contract extension. Parsons is right that they&#8217;ll win more games with a strong defense, but how they&#8217;re supposed to recapture the magic of years&#8217; past isn&#8217;t clear.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_4o6kkn-o_O-style_1tcxgp3-o_O-style_1pinbx1-o_O-style_48hmcm\" data-mm-id=\"_h3h4l75mf\">No team has been more disappointing than Dallas this year. Unfortunately for Cowboys fans, it looks like things are only going to get worse before they get better. Parsons&#8217; podcast and Twitter page make more headlines than his actual on-field product at this point, and the entire organization needs to take a hard look in the mirror to avoid another lost season in 2025.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The young star believes the Cowboys haven&#8217;t properly allocated their resources.
