The Dallas Cowboys fans and legends like Michael Irvin have not been impressed by the team and their performances in recent seasons. Irvin has been a long-time supporter and seems frustrated with their lack of success. While working as an NFL analyst, he is known for his rants and hot takes as a broadcaster and did turn his attention to the Cowboys recently.
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.
