The Dallas Cowboys are continuing their frustrating offseason as they are staying put in free agency amidst the increased fan expectations. They already lost a few key starters and are on the verge of losing another one in Stephon Gilmore if they don't act fast and re-sign him.

Add Cowboys legend and Hall-of-Famer Deion Sanders to the list of people growing more frustrated with Jerry Jones with each passing day.

Cowboys News: Deion Sanders Implores Dallas to Re-Sign FA Stephon Gilmore

In his Instagram post, the legendary cornerback highlighted the visit Gilmore and his sons paid him over the weekend. Adding the caption "Dallas Stop Playing", Prime Time is referring to the free agency negotiations going on between the Cowboys and Gilmore.

The former NFL Defensive Player of the Year has made clear his desire to stay in Dallas. Despite just finishing his age-33 season, the five-time Pro Bowler had another productive season, playing in every game and 94% of defensive snaps.

The Cowboys are presumably low-balling Gilmore, taking advantage of his desire to stay and the fact that Dallas has amazing cornerback depth.

Trevon Diggs and DaRon Bland form a formidable duo and Jourdan Lewis is returning. If Diggs can get back to his pre-injury form, it could reduce Gilmore's role. If Jerry Jones thinks this makes Gilmore superfluous, he is mistaken.

Not only could Dallas use more depth, but they also need more veteran leadership and adults in the locker room, especially after the departure of key veteran starters. Having Gilmore and his Super Bowl winning experience could prove to be very valuable.
