Welp, color me disappointed.
We all know that the contract breakdown will be different than what we are hearing now. Rationally, it probably was a little too expensive. But damm, I wanted to believe this FO would find a way to get him here to not only play, but help all the young guys.
Don't give a **** what low cost scrubs they bring in next week or so, and sit up there and crow about how fiscally responsible they have been. While the team does not get any better.
I'm the idiot, I bought into Jerry being worried about his mortality. I bought into their window being now. I bought into Stephen saying they would not be conservative, that they were going to take the next step. My ***.
My fault. Don't care about anything they do/don't do now. Don't care about who they will bring in with the draft. This is a broken/flawed front office.
My fandom which has been loud and proud has officially taken a back seat now - not over Thomas so much (well, a little) but by the lack of even attempting to improve this franchise.
Due to their utterly stupid/we know better attempt at WR by committee last year, they painted themselves into this corner. Cooper was a fantastic pick up. and will be a fantastic player moving forward. But. The capital it has cost to right that wrong is and will be very detrimental to this team.
Its not fun being a Cowboy fan right now.
This team cannot and will not compete, with other teams improving, and having way more draft stock that us to continue improving. While we are stuck with last years team - who weren't good enough last year. Worst off-season in quite a while, simply because the expectation was, that they would finally do better.
Ok, rant over.
