How many of you are overreacting to lack of Cowboys participation in FA so far?

Another “fan” who has given up and quit. I get it the post boomer crowd, especially millennials, want everything NOW because they’ve been use to things handed to them from day

commenting on the alarming lack of activity by the FO is giving up?

 

[thunderpimp91]

forget the fact that 160 million of that was resigning their own damn player.

Get out of here with your misleading BS.

Its not misleading....this is the issue with the Cowboys this offseason. It's not that they're not picking up big name free agents....they're passing on mid tier guys and letting their own guys walk. The ONLY thing they've done is resign their long snapper. KC has made 4 notable moves, two resignings, two outside signings, and they just freed up additional cap space with the Mahomes restructure so they're probably not done as they're $16M under the cap....the Cowboys are $2M under. This is not just an instant gratification thing, it's a lack of any activity thing with no actual path to improve the team.

Chris Jones? hmmm, i was under the impression they drafted him. all those others you listed.... did they play in the usfl?

He was going to be a free agent

Here's a good link to check out each player.

Seriously folks... it isn't rationale to suggest the front office is totally incompetent. The team has been pretty good and to the OP's point, they have crapped the bed during the playoffs.

But the front office definitely gives the appearance as being incompetent based upon their inaction. To me, most disconcerting, is the fact they don't seem to have any direction or profile for the type of player they need to fit some kind of blueprint that one would think any GM and staff would have. They give the appearance of simply "winging it". For years it was safety. Then, DT. Now, RB. Not to mention just "stumbling" on 2 pretty good QB's by, what appears to be, random chance - Romo & Dak.

Last year - we couldn't run and we couldn't stop the run.

So, we let our starting Center and All-Pro LT go. We have no starting RB's - and, then tell the world they should "come to us" and we will determine if they fit our cost structure that we have allocated for RB's. Maybe the plan is not to have one. As of today, we have 2 LB's. And, one of those isn't really a LB - Parsons. Yet, we cannot stop the run.

It's hard to square 3 consecutive 12-5 seasons with this year's version of the front office inactions.

You know what else has a really low success rate? Jerry’s Cowboys.

100% failure for 28 years is quite the achivement.

 

[Runwildboys]

You’re an Eagirls fan yet you’re frequent a Cowboys forum.

Because it's more entertaining than the Eagles forum... especially for someone who wants to see Cowboys fans freaking out.

 

[Denim Chicken]

I am reacting appropriately thank you very much.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

When you run the 100 meter dash…if you lead after a great 90 meters then stumble and fall, it’s considered a failure. You may want to apply this logic to the Dallas Cowboys.

Participation trophies. Yea us. lol

How many of you are shamelessly overreacting to the lack of Cowboys participation in FA so far? You do realize that big splash signings have an extremely low success rate, right? Save your fake outrage for another day!

None.

 

[ShiningStar]

There way has not panned out in 20 plus years. But we are over reacting?

You like this system of remaining mediocre?

I would say many are criticizing more than overreacting. When you say you're all in you open yourself up for scrutiny when you're the least active team in the league. Having said that, I don't really take issue with their inactivity, behind the hypocrisy of a snake oil salesman owner.

All of the FAs we lost were overpaid by their gaining team. The RB market was surprisingly the most expensive it's been in more than half a decade, and no RB on the market was worth the $8M average salary that seemed to be the market rate.

I'd be fine with a JK Dobbins or AJ Dillon signing. Better yet both since Dobbins is talented but often hurt. I'm holding out hope the lack of a market for Tyron could lead him back to Dallas. Bring back Jourdan Lewis or replace him with somebody like Avonte Maddox and I'd be satisfied with their free agency haul. Center and DT will have to wait for the draft.

 

[Gambit]

I don’t care about not signing splash guys. I’m upset they aren’t doing anything. They traded for Gilmore and Cooks last year….this year nothing…..

Yes the entire off-season is already over. No team moving forward can do anything at all.

Everyone wants Christmas gifs. C'mon man!

 

[EPL0c0]

after the last 30 years... definitely not overreacting.

Reaction based on a consistent track record of mediocrity

It’s gonna work.

Just be patient.

Ok, Steven. You can go back to your vacation now.

You mean, your Cowboys....or, I guess I should say, our Cowboys.

Another “fan” who has given up and quit. I get it the post boomer crowd, especially millennials, want everything NOW because they’ve been use to things handed to them from day 1.

Speaking of people used to things being handed to them from day 1, has anyone heard from Stephen this week?

Look at this guy who quit being a cowboys fan and started being a Jerry Jones only fan ......... day 1?

[zrinkill]

Here's Jerry's #1 fan to let us know everything's going to be just fine. Right on time with the same exact spiel every year! A true fan! lol

What a quitter he is ........... Jerry loves sheep.
