The Dallas Cowboys are Admitting they were Wrong Without Saying So

The Dallas Cowboys are at the forefront of potentially signing highly sought-after free agent wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. His medical evaluation later this week will factor heavily into whether Dallas is truly interested or not.
However, it's not the interests that should raise eyebrows, but rather how they got there.
It is blatantly obvious that the Cowboys are in need of play-makers. The return of QB Dak Prescott and the ascension of this offense is occurring at the right time. Issues started from the off-season and allowing some of their best to go.
Trading Amari Cooper for meager compensation, allowing the most consistent WR all year, Cedrick Wilson to walk in free agency, and not even retaining Malik Turner who was rising up the depth chart as of late.
The Cowboys are fully aware of their mistakes. Before they the NFL Trade Deadline, they were in negotiations to acquire WR Brandin Cooks from the Houston Texans. As well as gage interest for Jerry Jeudy from the Denver Broncos.
At the moment, the Dallas Cowboys WR room is in question from the start. Dennis Houston is back on the practice squad. Simi Fehoko is on IR. James Washington is set to return from IR but offers no confidence as he got hurt just as soon as he stepped on the plane in Oxnard. Third-round rookie Jalen Tolbert has been a non-factor all season. KaVontae Turpin is an electric player that is better served on special teams.
The starting trio of CeeDee Lamb, Noah Brown and Michael Gallup have put up the totality of work through the air. However, Brown is coming off an injury and is limited with the ball, and Gallup has been inconsistent in route running and dropping passes since returning from injury.
While the addition of OBJ may or may not be the answer to the offenses problems, the Cowboys being so invested in his health makes it clear:
They were wrong. They were wrong to let so many of the offense's weapons go, and not serious enough to replenish. Not only were they wrong, but the front office knows it. Even though they won't admit it.
Not their style.
