What is the Cowboys reasoning for delaying contract signings?

[VaqueroTD]

They are master negotiators, using a complex strategy you couldn't possibly understand.

Are you serious an Arkansas equipment manager handles contracts and the cap, this is crazy. Wow

You can read bios of all the execs at the cowboys site

He had two internships also, then straight to Valley Ranch

wasnt hard. I actualy said the opposite of what you thought I said. This is what I said.


They are in the news. Why can’t you all understand this. Jerry need to do nothing at all and they still are the main topic all off season. Hell, the Seahawks won the sub and it’s like they are some European soccer team.

and I pretty much replied to this that Jerry has to run him mouth, because doing nothing doesn't give him the attention he seeks. I cannot remember a year that Jerry has done "nothing".

 

[Reid1boys]

That’s Twitter. Not the news.

Agents use the cowboys to drive the price up. Knowing they don’t want to come to this absolute farce of a team. To be viewed while working out and eating lunch while the owner lands his helicopter mid practice.

That’s not being in the news. That’s being made fun of.

There’s a difference.

In your head buddy, it’s all in your head.

And I’m saying the opposite. Jerry doesn’t need to say jack squat, and the cowboys will still be the most talked about team in sports. Jerry changes toilet paper at AT&T, news at 5.

You’re right but Jerry needs to shut his mouth. He gives too much ammo to target him, especially in the forums, with his many times stupid comments.

Maybe, but who cares? It has zero impact on the field.

Ya but it would make the forum a little more tolerable.

No it wouldn’t. People are happy to just whine and complain. It helps them get through the day. It’s the reason that I avoided this place for four months.

Could someone please help me understand why we do this, why we think this is some kind of special tactic to use? I'm sure "other teams do this too" but we're focusing on the cowboys. What is the reasoning, has the player not shown enough, is it the agent, is it both, or the Cowboys just aren't sure the player fits in their plans?

It's kind of hard to believe as the Cowboys have great things to say about every player. If you ask them, you always hear positive feedback on how they WANT said player to return and play for them, yet they stall and take their time. I realize it's good to see what the market is set at, but find out what the market is, and get the player signed. Often times we run the price up by waiting too long, doing the opposite of what we want to do. We all know they're cheap, yet they wait and wait things out, only to see the price increase! Please give your thoughts on this

Jerry DUMBO GM Jones EGO and incompetence as a GM.

Ya, you’re probably right. But I still think he needs to shut his mouth.

How’s that worked for the jets owner? Dolphins owner? Bears owner? You get my point?

 

[phildadon86]

Is the last 30 years of failure in my head to?

Guess you also agree with Stephen about the “drought”.

Jets owner and bears owner have more success than the Cowboys owner since 1995.

Literally traded one of the best defensive players they’ve had in a decade because he couldn’t keep his mouth shut about Micah’s agent.

Do you live in reality? Or in fantasy land where Jerry is good at his job?

His mouth and the culture he’s built are why this team fails year in year out. Players don’t need to win because Jerry makes them believe they already have by putting a star on their helmet.

Screw Michael and his 47 million per year contract. I’m damn happy with that trade. Jerry’s mouth had little to do with Michael me firstbparsons leaving.

Ken I'll take "What should have happened years ago" for $100.

You're the cheapest fella I know!!! If you said $101 maybe someone would believe you were rich!!!

lol.

Imagine calling Micah me first and defending Jerry.

Because Jerry isn’t me first at all.

If Jerry wasn’t me first, he would hire a GM and step down. 30 years of failure.

Let me guess. You’re excited about the upcoming season and all the fantastic moves they have made this off season right?

Also, hate to break it to you but Micah’s contract isn’t 47 million against the cap.
