How are there so many FO leaks?

[kevm3]

We've heard about the FO wanting to get rid of Amari way before it happens and it undermined our leverage. Now I'm hearing we're about to cut La'el Collins, which undermines our leverage to get anything in return. How is this FO so porous?

They have a large PR department that manages this sort of stuff. You typically hear what they want you to hear.

Exactly. Stuff doesn't get "leaked" by accident. If it did then heads would roll.

Because the two people at the top of the pyramid can't keep their traps shut. They think that the more that they talk, the more they will be taken seriously as football people.

If they only knew.

Our front office is among the worst in the NFL.
If not for Will McClay, it would be, hands down.

There's a reason they call it Loudmouth Soup.

Because I am actually Jerry Jones and post stuff on this forum

 

[Radiashun]

Jerry thinks it doesn't matter, he thinks he'll still outsmart everyone. Stephen is just dumb.

Leaks almost always come from either team executives or agents of the players, both as tactics for advantageous negotiating.

If you found out a player was offered a contract with weird language forfeiting guarantees and he balked at it, that’s 100% the agent trying to save face for the player by giving a reason he “had” to leave his home team. When you find out about a player with a no-trade clause “leaning” toward one team or the other, that’s also definitely from the agent, trying to entice other teams to up the ante.

If you hear a team is about to cut a player, that’s most likely from the team trying to garner interest before he hits the open market. Especially if it’s well in advance. Teams aren’t going to contact agents 2-3 weeks ahead of It’s not always a bad thing to announce it beforehand, and the benefit is teams may feel they’d lose a free for all for the player, so what’s a measly 6th rounder to guarantee you get him?

Some teams request agents stay quiet about negotiations and trades, some teams want it out there. Dallas is definitely the latter. Doesn’t mean it’s inherently wrong, it’s just one of many strategies.

A face you just want to punch....repeatedly

 

[chagus]

Someone in the organization is sabotaging the team. Whether or not its intentional remains to be seen.

 

[CouchCoach]

All by design to make sure the Cowboys are the most covered team in all sports. The leaks are intentional.

The best part are the reports that Jerry is "livid", when he's probably passed out face-down on a shag carpet somewhere, unaware of what is even happening.

Jerry gets liquored up and runs his mouth.

As much as I want to blame the FO, there are two sides to most of these decisions. Many of these "FO" leaks are likely the player's agents wanting better deals for their clients. I would venture to guess that the Jones's like to communicate with their players...and tell them far too much information about their plans. This is why we don't hear stories of how shocked players...ala Von Miler finding out via text that he had been traded.

JJ wants to keep their name in the press, so certainly many of these "leaks" are intentional, but I wouldn't discount agent involvement.
