That's the very definition of a dysfunctional organization.I'm going to draw from your post and put forward that Son didn't want to do those deals - but Father overruled him.
Remember Dez Bryant's last days in Dallas? As soon as 2017 season was over with, Stephen was was implicitly putting out in the press that the WR's production fell way short of the contract --and that a hard decision may take place if a salary reduction didn't take place.
Meanwhile Jerry was contradicting that view...saying Dez will be a Cowboy in 2018.
Stephen got his way- Bryant was cut - Bud Jerry asked Dez to come into his office to tell him in person he was gone.
Ongoing power struggle between the Boss and Heir Apparent; and the tide has been steadily going in favor of the "H.A.".

Nice. Simple and to the point.Jerry > Stephen
Jerry < A pile of turds
'Mannix' - My thinking is that
A) S. Jones remembers the bad trades and FA acquisitions orchestrated by his father before his roles in the franchise football operations expanded - he doesn’t want to repeat those errors;
B) He is trying to emulate Bill Belichick in his method of acquiring player talent that come with no high price tags - guys that show potential to get better.
Chemical Engineering is the hard engineering. Organic Chemistry was a weed out class for those guys so he's definitely smart. I like that an analytical approach but it requires good information. They seem to have a pretty good group in that regard.Stephen is no fool, he has a degree in chemical engineering and played ball in Arkansas. So he knows a little something about football and is definitely book smart for sure.
BUT, it doesn’t look like he is a risk taker or as business savvy like daddy. So, I can only surmise that he is both conservative and analytical with the team’s business decisions.
What say you?
Yes, but there is a reason Stephen majored in Chemical Engineering, they are in high demand in the oil and gas industry, so, he was raised to run the family business, but has stumbled into football, just like daddy.Chemical Engineering is the hard engineering.

Well thats make 2 horrible choices Jerry has made for GM of the Dallas Cowboys.SJ, if not for Jerry anointing him GM of the Dallas Cowboys would probably be a decent stock broker or DUI lawyer.
Engineers are pretty good at figuring things out, they know how to learn.Yes, but there is a reason Stephen majored in Chemical Engineering, they are in high demand in the oil and gas industry, so, he was raised to run the family business, but has stumbled into football, just like daddy.
An 18 million dollar RB under preforms. A 20 million dollars DE under performs. A 20 million dollar WR under performed. A 40 million dollar QB struggles at times. A 10 million dollar RT was mixed up in some things. Well heck I'd start to be cheap too. Because that's about 45% of your cap right there.
