It is all about Tampa, Chiefs, Buffalo, Rams, Green Bay.

We have Green Bay's coach who built that team.
Running game better than everyone else. Offensive line when healthy best in the league.

JJ Watt kind of a player on defense with Hot Boyz would change everything.
JJ Watt would never allow himself to be called a "Hot Boyz". There's some NFL players that have self respect.

@kuyyo_morro Well, other teams treat Cowboy FAs as top tier. Even though history is repeat with ex-Cowboy FAs signing big contracts and not performing.

JJ Watt is not a top FA in my opinion. That train set sail long ago.

Cowboys have a history of paying to keep their own. Paid Zeke, Paid Cooper, paid Martin, paid Collins, paid Tyron Smith, paid Jaylon Smith, etc.

Only crumbs left after the Cowboys sign Dak. If the Cowboys let Dak walk, they would be players in FA.

What we truly have to begin conditioning ourselves into is can we accept Jacksonville Jaguars fandom status?
Wow I'm shocked to find out that a team who constantly finishes 8-8 isn't a lucrative landing spot for a free agent who is chasing a ring.
ya but have you been in the palace in dallas ,,, in all seriousness I hear exactly what your saying,, that Cowboy luster has faded, and its a damn shame.

I'm just saying we're not exactly the contender that we're told we are by ownership.

Let's just have a NBA type of off season.

Fly in JJ Watt, Ndamukong Suh, Patrick Peterson, Xavier Rhodes, Earl Thomas and Lavonte David all at the same time. Have them look at each other, then ask them if they want to play together.
:omg:

Look at our defense. Nobody wants to be a part of that or have that holding you back if you are on offense.

unlike you other players know cowboys are not going to the SB anytime soon. Dallas is a hot mess right now, no player like watt would want to come here.
other FA's younger, know that stephen is a cheapo, who wont pay anything.

It's a culture thing. Players who want to win above all else get it.

This has to be a troll post.

A “running game better than anyone else”? I can’t even take that seriously.
“Offensive line when healthy best in the league”. Close but not best, probably around 5 at this point.
“Green Bays coach who built that team”. I think it will become more and more clear how much Rodgers carried that team and MM.

Besides all of that, this team hasn’t even sniffed a Conference Championship in well over TWO decades. They have a whopping 3 wild card wins and no divisional wins in that same time frame. The Cowboys are a place good players who want to take it easy and know the owner will coddle them come to play. The good players who want to compete and want to take winning seriously go to other teams. Of course there’s the money factor as well.

It is because Stephen is in charge of the purse strings and he is about as water tight as a frogs butt.

Used to be players and agents knew that Jerry would overpay for players and it was a destination.

Now they know Stephen will not so why bother.

This whole idea that we don't win so nobody wants to come here might apply to a couple of players but I guarantee that if Stephen offered them a huge contract they would change their minds in a heartbeat.

Hell back in the day the agents would play the cowboys by making up imaginary other teams in order to get the Cowboys to bid against themselves.
