Among those in Las Vegas this week taking in the Super Bowl festivities are a handful of Dallas Cowboys who have been making the rounds with the media availabilities, including wide receiver Brandin Cooks and cornerback Stephon Gilmore – with the latter taking in his final guaranteed weeks with the team before hitting free agency in March.
The two reflected on the season’s abrupt end in 2023 after the Super Wild Card loss to the Green Bay Packers, as Gilmore echoed the feelings that were felt even immediately after the game and how falling short of expectations still hurts with the Super Bowl set to kickoff this weekend.
“You never want to lose in the playoffs, especially against a team that you thought you could handle,” Gilmore said on The Ticket on Friday.
Despite the loss, Gilmore sees an opportunity for the Cowboys to still make a run in 2024, and he was open about wanting to be a part of it ahead of free agency discussion.
“For sure, I want to be back,” Gilmore told The Fan. “I for sure think we have the pieces to get to where we want to be, and I want to be a part of that.
March is when free agency starts, so hopefully we can get something done.
I want to run it back with B. Cooks and all of these guys, have the opportunity to play with Bland another year and Trevon coming back off the ACL.”
