Twitter: Archer: Cowboys won't be looking at top free agents

[fivetwos]

You can't pay top dollar for every player. But some of you seem resentful for the Cowboys paying top dollar for any player... enter Dak Prescott that just got paid top dollar and the haters just get madder about it. Stephen Jones has never approached FA looking to pay top dollar. There are diamonds in the rough and those are the FA players Stephen is looking for.

I'm fairly sure that's the OPs point.

What they do hasnt worked, yet they keep doing it.

 

[CWR]

anyone who expected differently hasn't been paying attention for the last 8-9 years

Less about expectations and more about hoping to correct what obviously has not worked in the past.

Meanwhile in Tampa...

They do what they think is the best way to do things. Change for the sake of change is dumb.

Detroit Lions south. That's what we are. Just time to accept it.

Oh my God... Do we have 4 years of this to look forward to from you?

 

[darthseinfeld]

My guess is they are going to be going after guys that get cut due to the smaller cap

 

[blueblood70]

Didn’t Archer predict the Cowboys would let Dak walk in free agency. The Cowboys have a plan and I actually trust the Joneses because nobody saw the Dak signing coming.

This they are using recent history and new big deals to make assumptions. Maybe not day 1 FAs who are asking far too much for their services but this year there will be a lot of Vets looking for new homes and being the FA market will be flooded, some good deals are to be hard..

dont blame the Jonses, blame dak , he pushed for max money short years and well he got it all..no hometown discount so maybe he can play safety as well )

The real shame here is this is a period of time when the NFCE is atrocious and this team should be taking full advantage of that but can't.

They have to wait out the mistake contracts while we wait for NY to keep building and Wash to find a QB.

From me? Lol.. You’ll get it from the team on Sundays.

 

[atlantacowboy]

Looks like another offseason of dumpster diving on defense. Maybe Dak will lead 10 minute long TD drives every quarter.

 

[FiveSuperBowls]

Well that didn't work. Let's try it again. And again. Etc.

Need to build through the draft, as far as FA, go after mid level not top. Boys are not one player away from you know what.

So go follow another team man. Jesus. You have not said one positive thing on this board. Ever. That i have seen. Go cheer for Jacksonville and their rookie QB.

 

[LittleD]

Honestly, this is the what we expected. But key word is top free agents.

We can still land starters at DT, LB, FS or CB for reasonable deals.

Right! Just like the beauties we signed to play last year. Even Aldon gassed out before year end.

Meanwhile in Tampa...

The best FA want to play in Tampa, even for less money. They know Brady will lead them to another SB.
Cowboys now flushed down the toilet bowl.

The points you make are much better when there's no steam coming out of your ears!

 

[Bowdown27]

Archer knows nothing. He's just assuming like the rest of us are based on history.

Seriously. You’re right. They didn’t have their sources telling them the deal was done with dak ? Feel like cowboys media personnel never breaks news. Schefter rappaport or glazer seem to be usually first

 

[reddyuta]

he is just guessing based on previous years just like he guessed Dak wont be signed this year.

 

[rnr_honeybadger]

Clearly the Dallas Jerry’s are Super Bowl bound.

 

[BaileyRiley1]

Just because they’re not at the very top doesn’t mean they can’t find players that can help the team. Some here are insufferable

 

[fivetwos]

They do what they think is the best way to do things. Change for the sake of change is dumb.

....and therein lies the problem.

Quarter century of futility ought to make any logical person consider change.
