OXNARD, Calif. — Early Tuesday morning, as media members began to filter into training camp for the fourth straight kickoff press conference with the Dallas Cowboys' holy trinity — team owner Jerry Jones, executive vice president Stephen Jones and head coach Mike McCarthy — a visitor nodded to a Dallas Cowboys staffer.

OXNARD, Calif.
This is the moment where the Cowboys are clearly on the cusp of some roster change and potential revitalization in the next 12 months. It's a period where two things are intersecting in the agenda: A continued spin-up of younger parts of the roster that will become the next foundation, and a winding-down of some long-term cornerstones that will need to be replaced sooner than later.
This is how the 2023 Super Bowl push should be processed: as a last grasp for a handful of aging players who might not be in Oxnard when camp kicks off in 2024. But also as a group of lingering foundational veterans who helped Dallas recapture some winning consistency under McCarthy.
As much as that’s a quote about Prescott and Smith and maybe Martin, Lawrence and others, it’s likely also a quote about Tony Romo, Dez Bryant, Jason Witten, DeMarcus Ware and others. Jerry is the longest tenured general manager in professional sports. With that comes the institutional memory to recognize that you simply don’t always win enough games with many of your most foundational players.
