Jerry talks upcoming free agency

[Cowfan75Lives]

Well then you should just stop commenting. No one is reading that crap.

Literally no one can read that crap. It makes as much sense as Jerry.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Would you like to explain the alternate reality version to me?

No because it ultimately doesn't matter.

We still stuck with Mr. Senile. Ugh.

 

[ICP]

Don't hate the team, hate the man who (doesn't properly) build the team!

Yeah, I guess that's what I meant.

 

[rambo2]

Jerry makes me hate this team

Lol

 

[CowboyoWales]

I wonder what Shotty thinks about these 2 latest jerry comments??
Has to be depressing to find out your GM is not going to do anything in FA except over pay micah, and is shocked cowboys didnt
go to SB?
Shotty is probably thinking man how can I overcome these clowns running this team ??

Shot will have to do "more with less" a lot less lol.

Other teams like phil and wash are laughing and breathing a sigh of relief right now. They know jerry will keep the cowboys mediocre, so
the div belongs to either phil or wash in future.

Dan Quinn..... dont you know he is glad to be out of dallas ? Same for any players that have left.

I would hate to be HC of a team that just wont use FA , except for low level bargains.

But I am glad jerry said this now, I wont even tune in again till the draft, then in Sept.
It is bizarre and stupid of him to say this, as many others will now tune out too.

My hate would be directed at a GM that had no cohesive strategy. Schott can only do what he can do, he's no miracle worker and I doubt anyone believes he is.
I keep returning to the opinion that we shouldn't be actively looking at the FA market as the panacea...it'll produce minimal improvement at best.
We need an overhaul, we need to suck....the most annoying part is that this should of started after the GB game... a rational acceptance that even with that roster we were nowhere near competing in the play-offs and that we needed a total rebuild (a proper GM would of gotten value in the trade market).
We need to stop bemoaning a lack of FA activity....we need to embrace the failure and turn it against Jerry, to enforce a radical change.

If Jerry really wants to be competitive then they have to be smart in free agency and the draft. They have to look at the current new coaching staff to see the best guys at the right salary to help and the guys that the coaching staff can coach up.

So this is what I would propose for free agency and the draft.
1. Jedrick Wills OT - should be a quality LT under Adams and move to his natural position at RT and then you can use Steele in a trade.

2. Will Hernandez OG - if Martin retires he helps strengthen the OL as RG or backup.

3. Chase Young DE - still immensely talented but needs the right coach and still young.

4. Javon Kinlaw DT - another guy who needs a coach that understands him, has the talent but needs coaching.

5. K'Lavon Chaisson OLB - a guy with immense talent but needs a young coach.

6. Amari Cooper WR - would be a 3rd option if draft goes well.

None of these guys are going to break the bank.

Draft:

1. Tetairoa McMillan WR - big guy with speed, should be a great #2, could be available at 12 once trades are done in top 10. Cooper would be a great help to him.

2. Ashton Jeanty RB - trade back into middle of 1st with 2nd, 3rd, and Steele and maybe another player. Very weak OT class so Steele worth a 3rd round value. Gives Schotty good offensive strength with those 2 selections.

5. Yahya Black DT Iowa
6. Kobe King ILB Penn St.

 

[vlad]

Who thinks that the Eagles and Commanders aren't going to try to get much better? Ugh.

 

[Ghostwriter]

i didn't expect them to be players in free-agency...except for our own.
but they need to draft well.
they've shown they can do that...they need to again.
and in the draft...don't ignore rb or dt.
please and thank you.

I agree with you they need to draft well, but even if they do, it's not enough mathematically. They only have so many draft choices in premium rounds, where you're much more likely to find starters and difference makers. They have far too many holes to rely exclusively or primarily on the draft. Jerry doesn't seem to understand this.

Of course, Jerry will say their cap situation won't allow them to be too active in free agency, though he won't say their ongoing mismanagement of contracts and the cap is why.

I appreciate the effort here. I do have some thoughts and questions, not meant to come for you or anything, just conversation.

Jedrick Wills OT - should be a quality LT under Adams and move to his natural position at RT and then you can use Steele in a trade.

If Steele is so bad that we simply must trade him and get rid of him, who then would you suggest would want to trade for him?

2. Will Hernandez OG - if Martin retires he helps strengthen the OL as RG or backup.

Not a huge fan of the player, however Klayton Adams did get the most out of him, this is a type of signing that I could see us making. Either him or Evan Brown would be good pick ups, I'd probably lean more towards Evan Brown myself, just because he can give you some Center play if needed, maybe even move him to Center and let Bebee man right guard, but that's an discussion for another day.


Especially since Steele graded out better than Willis especially in run blocking. On top of that there are questions about his willingness to play through some things. Willis projected cap cost about 3 mil to trade Steele you'd save about 4 mil in cap space, so netting 1 mil savings for a lesser player. Especially in an area of focus moving forward. Now trading him post June 1 makes more sense financially, but that is a risk of adding on 3 million more for a player that isn't the same caliber. I guess what I'm asking is why would a team trade draft capital for Steele when they could just sign Willis?

Chase Young DE - still immensely talented but needs the right coach and still young.

He is going to command a contract upwards of 70 mil over 4 years. Not the type of signing we need right now. He has under performed, and I agree has talent and may just need the right coach and situation. I just don't think Dallas is that place at that cost right now, when you consider our biggest need on the DL is interior DL which will not be cheap to replace.

4. Javon Kinlaw DT - another guy who needs a coach that understands him, has the talent but needs coaching.

This is the kind of signing we will probably see. And Id not be against it, but would like another DT added via FA as well. Injury history is a little concerning but if Whitecotton signs off on him I'm down.

5. K'Lavon Chaisson OLB - a guy with immense talent but needs a young coach.

Another good choice and option, if he doesn't resign with the Raiders, I could see us targeting him. We had interest in the draft for him too.

Amari Cooper WR - would be a 3rd option if draft goes well.

I do not see him coming back to Dallas, at all. We don't need a #3 WR option we need a #2 and/or 1A option there. at #3 we have a host of dudes who fit the bill.

Tet I would love, I'm not giving up draft capital to move up for him, but I do love the player. there will be 2 runs on the top end WR's one in 1st and one in 2nd. Likely will need to "overdraft" one but hey CeeDee fell and no one thought he would so never know. But I do like the player, just not enough to give up extra capital for him, not when we have so many needs to fill.

Jeanty.. this may be the most flip flopped choice talked about this year. I think most people are all in on him one day and the next are okay to let him slide. Either way, he is not a guy you give up a player and a 2nd and a 3rd pick for, especially in a draft that has over 30 draftable RB's and can grab one in the 5th who can help the team.

Love the Kinlaw and Chaisson idea's though. Don't see Young being a fit for us at his projected salary. Only trade Steele if you've already signed or drafted his clear replacement, then only after June 1st, but still think keeping him is the smarter decision right now with his strength being our new primary focus on the OL. Would not mind Hernandez or Brown signing for Guard spot I think either one makes sense with my nod going towards Evan Brown.

Now,
5. Yahya Black DT Iowa
6. Kobe King ILB Penn St.

I don't know enough about Black to really over much of an opinion on him, what about him do you like though? I do like his size, but he seems to project as a strict 1T
Kobe King Im a fan of, not sure he has the coverage ability that Eberflus likes but as a run stopper he would be good piece to draft solid work there..

Lol

You know who else is laughing? The Eagles. Having lapped the cowboys again after rebuilding. They have been to 2 superbowls in 5 years. While your owner and GM is bragging about hanging around the rim.

Stop laughing. You’re the only thing laughable here.

Lol, enjoy the game.

 

[Bullflop]

Lately, there's been inside talk about trading Parsons "for a king's ransom."

It should be interesting to note how that consideration eventually develops.

That may easily involve another player, in addition to a king's ransom, also.

In lieu of such a trade actually being consummated, a hefty contract awaits.

I doubt that, but they do need to sign Parsons soon. They need to sign him before free agency.

 

[Bullflop]

The dangerous duo of Jerry and Stephen aren't exactly renowned for being expedient.

I was somewhat surprised to read about that but anything's possible with $$$ involved.

There are some exciting possibilities involved with players who requested to be traded.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

So this guy wants to spend the most money ever on an over-rated injured loser player? AGAIN?

What in the same heck is going on here?

Well don't worry Jerry is good at that.

 

[phildadon86]

How can I enjoy the game? It’s our biggest rival.

You’re sitting here defending a front office who has been made to look incompetent by the eagles time and time again.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

Late to the conversation but who is Jones trying to kid? The Cowboys' free agent expenditures last year was DEAD LAST. Dak and CeeDee were their own players. If the Jones Boys got those deals done early LIKE EVERY OTHER TEAM DOES, they would have had money to spend on outside free agents.

The Cowboys can create nearly $80 million of cap space this year by restructuring Dak, CeeDee, cutting Steele, etc.. But they have this year's built in excuse already, "We have to pay Micah".

So who will this year's big free agent pickup be? Maybe Alfred Morris or Darren McFadden can pick up where Zeke left off last season.

Lol, it's going to be a great game. I'm not even thinking about our nutty front office. I'm thinking about Barkley tearing it up and winning the championship.

Jerry as a coach is always amusing to the NFL :
