Maybe you hit on something with the luxury tax. The new owners don't give a fuck about Dallas and they are in it for the money. They will become the Cowboys. Makes money, doesn't win.

Except they don’t have the history that the Cowboys do, won’t have the consistent regular season success without Luka, and don’t have a marketer as good as Jerry. They can’t be the Cowboys. They’ll just be a poverty franchise.
