AdamJT13: Nugget on contracts ( remember the poster?)

[goshann]

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.

Lot of it is social media in general

 

[TwentyOne]

Logical, grounded posters have mostly abandoned this forum

To be honest he was an idiot. He was so full of himself he didnt care about other arguments.

I had a few facts for him he never admited he was wrong. Just acted arrogant and snootily.

He had always good information thats true. But nothing you couldnt also find using a google search. I dont miss him one bit.

He was very stubborn I agree
Everything was black or white and based upon stats … and a narrow view of them
I wouldn’t call him an idiot but I understand what you are saying
The famous debate was always whether rushing the football success benefited the passing game

The conversations on here were still way smarter than they are today.

Back in the day it was Adam and Dale.

I remember AdamJT13. Some fans believed he either worked for an NFL team or a football publication, causing many to buy into everything he said. He doesn’t have much of a following on Twitter.

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.

if you are waiting for any FAs of significance to come in, then you are going to wait a very very very very very very very very long time. then you will be dead! (sorry).

this is not about Parsons (only in one way)....and this is not about FAs, etc.

this has to do with Joneses approach to managing football team. the highest selling jerseys get the large contracts, then we fill in the blank with whatever we can to meet minimum salary floor requirements. Maximize profits. Dak was top 5 jersey sales. CD was top 10. Parson was tops. so the jersey sales garnered big contracts. then bunch of UDFAs and draft picks. let the contracts that ran out, leave so I don't have to pay more than I have to.

Joneses just got a little too greedy and little too stupid thinking it will hold together for another season. it all came crashing down.

Thats brainwashing.

Now we have 20 mils.

When it counted in march we had Zip.

And we need the 20 mils in 2025 to account for prescotts 89 mils. So we will carry over that 20 mils to 25 just because we need it there.

We had zip in March because the idiots in charge decided to wait to sign Lamb and Dak in order to free up cap space.

The brain washing is from those that parrot the Cowboys BS that they are cap poor. They are not.

I don't know about his insights football wise but when he talked contracts, he was usually pretty spot on when it came to the cap, how certain contracts were worked, etc.

 

[noshame]

There was a while there when I swore he was Stephen Jones.

That what I literally just said.

Fans here seemed to think he was spot on. Many seemed to think he had inside information which gained him a huge following here. They believed everything he posted was the gospel.

He was often right.

Exactly right but that dude is a complete homer which is why he's so missed here.

Your tone seems to suggest you believe otherwise.........

You would be correct.

Yes. I remember those vividly. He was a cap guru, for sure. But that didn’t mean that he was never wrong. Sort of like the rest of us. lol.

 

[Shannon1]

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

Been saying that since last spring you are totally correct!

 

[Chuck 54]

As usual, recently. It’s so annoying.

 

[12+88=7]

Dallas has plenty of space.

20 million this year rolled into 22 next year equals 42.

Resign Parsons and lower his cap hit in 2025 from 21 to 10 million. You're at 53 now.

Restructure Prescott from 89 million to 60 million. You are now at 82 million.

You make Martin and Steele post June 1st cuts that's 15 million to sign the draft class.

There are also many other restructures that can be done to add 20+ million if the team chooses to.

Dallas can have between 80 to 100 million in cap space for 2025 and do whatever they please with no restrictions. Those are facts. Anything else is a lie.

 

[Chuck 54]

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.

There’s no defense. Those guys probably would have signed those huge deals last spring. Jerry drug his feet, not to get better deals, but to keep fans quiet when he did nothing in free agency, which was always his plan. Can you imagine the uproar from fans about RB, WR, and DT if we’d been sitting on that 20 million during free agency?
