Man, is it frustrating to see how much we wasted our best talent window under that previous poser coach.

That fucking sucks. I hope McGovern is ready to play center.

Cowboys C Travis Frederick announces retirement
Frederick announced his retirement at 29 years old.
By SportsDay Staff
Dallas Cowboys center Travis Frederick announced his retirement via Twitter on Monday.
Frederick, 29, suffered from Guillain-Barre syndrome, an autoimmune disease that weakens the muscles and attacks the peripheral nervous system. A player who hadn’t missed a game his first five years in the NFL was forced to sit out the entire 2018 season.
He came back and started all 16 games in the regular season last year.
“When I developed Guillian-Barré Syndrome, I did not know how to handle things. I was scared. That experience forced me to reevaluate my life priorities," Frederick said in his statement. “I spent much of that year thinking about both the past and future. I realized how fortunate I was to play a game for a living. I realized how fortunate I was to make friends and become teammates with some great men. Most of all, I realized the importance of my family and how much I want to be there for their peaks and valleys as they were for me.”

That sucks but we did make it to the divisional round with Looney starting every game, and McGovern projected as a OG/C so if he really steps up he could take the position as well.
It's never easy losing an All Pro talent out of the blue but somehow we aren't in shambles without him.

Either one is a big downgrade but they went 10-6 and won a playoff game with Looney starting every game, how is that fucked?

We wouldn't have done anything in FA anyway.

Might have resigned Sua Fila though. Would have been nice to have an extra solid player in there even if for depth.
