## Resource

The Cowboys just dropped a bombshell with their offseason moves—franchise-tagging George Pickens and snagging Rashan Gary—but one signing is already sparking controversy: safety Jalen Thompson. Locked into a $33M deal, Thompson’s recent play—zero interceptions since 2023, high passer ratings allowed, and shaky coverage metrics—has Bleacher Report flagging him as a potential contract bust. While he’s flashed brilliance with seven picks in two seasons, consistency remains elusive. This could be a case of overpaying for flashes, turning what might’ve been a solid addition into a costly gamble.
