Micah and Ceedee are to blame as well

I don’t see Micah, CeeDee, and Dak all on huge contracts. It’s simply not feasible to have the highest paid QB, WR, and defensive player.

Someone gotta go and all signs are pointing to him already.
I mean Mahomes, Kelce and Chris Jones?

Joe Thuney and Jawaan Taylor make 24+ this year

The Jones family are trying to be tight with money, in order to save to have enough for Micah and Ceedee. We put a lot on our QB wanting to be paid, well it's on these two guys as well!

Justin Jefferson rejected 30 million, what would Ceedee be asking for. Micah mentioned the longer we wait the more expensive it will be! What are we to do!???

What do you mean expect them do? Play for less than market value? Not bloody likely.....

Travis Kelce was the 4th highest paid TE last year at 14 million.

Thats not even a top 20 WR contract.

CeeDee will make MUCH more than him. That’s why they had to trade off Hill, because they couldn’t pay everyone.

Parsons will make much more than Jones also. Parsons will demand the biggest defensive contract ever given.

They're a part of us being frugal in adding players to this team. NO IN MY OPINION WE DON'T HAVE to sign big names all the time, before that gets thrown in my face!
Then don't sign them, but they are playing well and want market value contracts for themselves and their families. We would they not.

I still blame the owners more than I do the players. Yeah these massive deals are an issue but it’s the front office’s overly conservative approach that keeps us in mediocrity. They have enough high end talent to at least be competitive in the division every year despite a flawed roster.

If they would be willing on occasion to trade a bigger name when their value is high it could be a game changer for this franchise, Granted they have to execute on a trade. I absolutely love Ceedee lamb don’t get me wrong, but his value will never be higher than it is now. With that said had they been open to trading him they could have gotten a couple premium draft picks and opened up considerable cap space for this year and the next few. That in theory could be an extra 1st and 2nd round pick this year plus money for a pair of free agents like Derrick Henry and DJ Reader.

The issue isn’t guys getting their money, it’s a front office that gives in time after time to players who prioritize the money.

Jerry needs to stop listening to outside voices and start putting his foot down. Overpaying ridiculous prices has caused this mess.
According to Stevie it’s a good thing only the fans are frustrating he knows what he’s doing just look at the championship team he puts together every year,“It's not frustrating because it means we've done a good job with the draft," Jones said when asked about missing out on big-name free agents. "That's just a sign, in my mind, that our organization, Will (McClay) and the scouting department, the coaches, we've done our job in terms of developing players. It's a great thing when you have Micah and CeeDee and the Dak (contract) challenge ahead of us, in terms of getting them under the cap. We're certainly all in on getting that done.”

They are to blame because they are good and will get paid? Maybe we should draft crappy players and then we don't have to worry about it. And no one without an "I hate Dak" agenda blames Dak for our cap problem that I know of. The team decides who they pay or don't pay and are responsible for how it plays out. We all want as much money as we can get. The team created all of this dead money by restructuring Dak (and others) and if they choose to give Dak another huge deal they are responsible for how it turns out 4 years from now with an even worse dead money situation.

Can’t imagine the head space you’d have to be in think good players are why the team isn’t good enough. Gotta give it to Jerry, he’s a brainwashing genious.

Who has Jerry really paid? :huh: Fans complain about Dak, Zeke, Tank, Jaylen, and Gallups contracts. Those contracts were peanuts in the gram scheme of things. I heard some yahoo blame Zeke, Jaylen and Gallup for the reason the Cowboys can’t get free agents. Dude they can’t get free agents because the Joneses don’t want to pay them.

Do just as we are doing. Roll over as much money as you can for next season so those bills coming due can get paid.
