I'm sure the Joneses would tell us that they are saving that money to pay Parsons. I agree with Adam's take. There are plenty of ways to take care of tomorrow without compromising today. The Cowboys went into this season compromised. The season fell apart when injuries hit, but Dallas did not put itself in a position to keep up/catch the other playoff-caliber teams because it did nothing to upgrade a few positions with the money it had available.

he was absolutely THE ORACLE on the cap. Guess he got disgusted with this place and left
Glad to see he is OK
Funny thing is this place has it's bipolar views and hot takes, huge fanbase so not surprised, but twitter is also the same way.
Not like twitter is full of sane people on every topic.

Yup...they cried poverty all off season when they knew they were going to extend CeeDee and Dak

They waited until after the season started when there aren't really options available

Had they resigned both at this point last year they would have had money to spend

That was always the plan the Jones clan came up with.

This is a salary cap reset year, roll over as much as possible, pay Parsons next year and create room to get some FA's in here.
I'd be fine with the idea of that if I had any faith that they would actually bring in free agents

Honestly, I have none :(

Remember him? He was literally the reason I came aboard here. 2011. Imminent labor strife.

I was curious about the uncapped year and if we could possibly get rid of some bad contracts Jerry handed out to keep the Parcells roster together, and get leg up on Garrett’s “process.”

No one knew a thing about it at the time, and eventually Jerry and Snyder were the only ones who tried it, then Mara moaned to Goodell and we know what happened from there.

I recall people saying that he was actually Stephen Jones. Haha. We can only wish the guy actually running the cap was as bright as Adam.

Hope all is well with him.

In their defense (which I hate doing), it isn't clear that either Dak or CeeDee would have signed early. Lamb, in particular, was waiting on the Jefferson deal, and the Joneses have pointed that out.

Yeah I assume that was the reason.

It’s a helluva lot more toxic these days.

Don’t worry though, Jerry says better says are ahead.

This Place was WAY BETTER 10-15 years ago
People with football knowledge who wanted the team to win
Now a bunch of people with agendas with illogical thoughts
Fully agree, but in all fairness a decade and a half of Jerry’s ego running things with no change in philosophy in sight will tend to make some folks edgy lol.
