COWBOYS!!!!

 

[ShortRound]

Good news.

 

[Risen Star]

Lol. A major move coming. You mean status quo with a bigger salary right? Major news would be a new GM. Or at least Stephen losing his seat.

McClay is basically the GM. Jerry is only an honorary GM.

Do we know salary numbers for staff? I’m curious to know how much he’s getting.

This makes this fan a very happy camper.

I don't live in that fantasy land.

You're not a GM unless you are the final decision maker in personnel. Will McClay isn't even 2nd on that list. He's merely the top advisor to the real decision maker and his son.

You're not basically a GM if you have to run personnel decisions by a silver-spoon goof like Stephen Jones.

Whatever the front office dynamic is, as far as talent acquisition and cap management I feel like they've done a great job since 2014-ish other than paying Jaylon (which, after his 2018 season didn't seem so bad at the time) and drafting Charlton, so I'm happy it's being maintained. Well, and their bargain bin free agency shopping hasn't really paid off until this year when it seems like they hit on every signing.

Love to see McClay staying, I guess he has no issues working for the Jones family

 

[MoistMayonnaise]

Good news. He seems to have the Jones' ear and keeps them from making to many bad decisions.

You really think Jerry is primarily responsible for the talent we’ve drafted and the players we’ve retained?

Yes, the Joneses do still have a say but it’s ignorant to think this organization is being ran like it was in the 2000s. We’ll have a few slipups here and there (Zeke contract) but that happens to basically every team. It’s not Jerry-specific.

Good for him to get paid bigger bucks to stay here.

I think that Will McClay can't make a single roster decision on this team. He needs others to make it for him. So he's not the GM.

Next season, cap management is fully doable...

And you think Jerry is making them?

 

[Majic]

He's had some hits, he's had some misses. I think is importance to the organisation is slightly overstated

 

[Risen Star]

And you think Jerry is making them?

Yes. Jerry's the GM.

I think Jerry and Stephen trust McClay and value his views and opinion, The notion that all Jerry and Stephen want are yes men is a load of BS. This does not mean every move they make will be gold, teams miss on players and that is across the league but by and large looking at players brought in and in draft the Cowboys have brought a lot of quality talent to this team.
