What can fans expect from the Cowboys in 2024?

Being a Dallas Cowboys fan in 2024 is an extreme sport. The franchise has built a reputation in the past three decades of excelling in the regular season but failing to do much in the postseason.

The Cowboys were built for a Super Bowl run in the 2023 NFL season. The NFC giants finished 12-5, for the third consecutive year. But come the wild card round of the playoffs, the Dak Prescott-led team got trounced 48-32, by a young Green Bay Packers led by Jordan Love.

The 2024 NFL offseason was filled with a lot of drama. Jerry Jones' barely acted on his "all-in" promise. The Cowboys saw a lot of starters leave the team this offseason. The contract dilemma of CeeDee Lamb, Micah Parsons and Dak Prescott still reamins. Head Coach Mike McCarthy will enter the final year of his contract.

Given a very dry offseason for the Dallas Cowboys, the fans must be careful of placing too much expectations on their shoulders this year. Let's observe and see whether the franchise can finally break its Super Bowl curse.
