Well, I'm sure several people remember my journal from FF. I play as the Dallas Cowboys, and I play not for the games, but for the management. Transactions, offseason activities, front office things, etc. That is what I find fun. I use 80 players (now 90) in the preseason, and I try and make the roster management as realistic as possible. My games are normally blowouts, so I will not post any box scores. I will, however, post stats and detailed information on anything management related. I just finished the 2023 season (my 13th season in the franchise) and I plan to go on until either the world ends or someone threatens to kill me if I don't stop. Slightly morbid humor aside, I hope you like my journal. This is my current roster.

Awesome! Management is definitely a ton of fun! It'll be interesting to see how it goes!

The Cowboys have nine free agents going into the 2024 NFL season. They are as follows:

QB Derek Harlan
RB Victor Osborne
WR Chester Gable
WR Patrick Sidney
TE Martin Watson
G Ronnie Dotson
G Mark McCormack
OLB Jon Mike Hunter
OLB Dwayne Jackson

Notables on this list include Harlan, who was a second-round pick in 2022; Dotson, also a second-round pick in 2022; and Hunter, a former member of the Air Force who sat out two years to serve in the Middle East.

For any new followers of the team, I will list the coaching staff for the 2024 season.

Offensive Coordinator - Marc Trestman
Defensive Coordinator - Jonathan Vilma
