Dallas Cowboys v Los Angeles Chargers — Have the Cowboys failed to give Dak Prescott another offensive game-changer?

1) Dallas Cowboys

Zach Ertz was rumored to be bound for Arlington

It's highly unusual for a stacked title contender like the Dallas Cowboys to be on this list.

They have a highly talented quarterback in Dak Prescott, and he has plenty of weapons in Tony Pollard, CeeDee Lamb, Michael Gallup, Brandin Cooks, and Kavontae Turpin.

He also has one of the most accomplished offensive lines to protect him, and the defense is no slouch either. However, the Cowboys are here because they failed to address an obvious hole: tight end.

Ever since Dalton Schultz left for the Houston Texans, Jake Ferguson, Sean McKeon and Luke Schoonmaker have largely failed to make an impact at the position.

Acquiring Zach Ertz from the Arizona Cardinals, who have been gradually de-emphasizing him in favor of Trey McBride would have represented a major solution.
