The 5-time Pro Bowler has been among the staunchest Cowboys supporters, but it seems his resolve is being tested. The current offseason has left “The Playmaker” concerned as worried as some of the Cowboy Nation.

During a recent interview with Clarence Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Irvin let loose on the dismal state of the Cowboys roster.

He believes that the franchise has let many talented players walk away in Amari Cooper, La’el Collins, Randy Gregory, Connor Williams, and Cedrick Wilson. Irvin states, “They have lost talent. They are not a better team talent-wise. This game doesn’t require skill. It requires will. If a team loses a little bit of skill but gains greater will, they call still do great things.” But the opposite rings true for the Cowboys and Irvin views the current roster as a step down from last season.

The former Super Bowl champion doesn’t see the franchise possessing the will to win following their disappointing loss last season. The exit in the Wild Card round against the San Francisco 49ers at home and losing their talent will be costly for the Cowboys according to him. He describes his desire to see the roster take their frustrations and channel them into motivation for the upcoming season.
