Are we just assuming the culture is good now?

[Rayman70]

Now that sounds biased as family blindness. Sorry, pilots for their planes aren't suddenly crashing.

I'm saying if the players are that good, sometimes you can overcome the culture. It's rare but it happens. Philly,Dallas, San Fran too back when Steve Young was there. They had issues according to him. I'm sure the Raiders back in the early 80s had issues but found a way. Guess what I'm saying is, it still takes talent in this league to mask stuff that is less than perfect. In my view, we been overrated for many years talent wise. I don't think we been as good as we were told. Maybe we can change that

The thing for a fan is objectivity.
How is objectivity in a current observation with a 30 year set point...mention communist now.

30 years no SB appearance. With a few random playoff appearances. Lol

Not talent, the leadership were content and did keep up and defeat to lead the very best. Both Jimmy Johnson and Barry Switzer could when money controlled.

30 years is a cop out and not an analysis. Go ahead and lead your team looking back..TO 30 YEARS? That is a cop out made up by some disgruntled followers for their own purpose.

The Cowboys have close to $18 million in cap space after extending Osa Odighizuwa and restructuring CeeDee Lamb​

Positions of Need are WR, RG, DE, RB​

Not long after Odighizuwa's new deal was announced, ESPN reported that his 2025 cap number will be $6.25 million, which will undoubtedly be helpful from an overall standpoint.

In agreeing to restructure his contract, Lamb will now have a 2025 cap hit of approximately $15.33 million.

Per Over The Cap, the Cowboys now have $17,889,643 in total cap space and $13,703,683 in effective cap space, the latter being the amount a franchise will have after signing at least 51 players and its projected rookie class to the roster.

If this doesn't seem like much, it's because it's not. But again, if the Cowboys can get Prescott to restructure his deal, they could create another $37 million or so. And if Trevon Diggs gets on board, the number jumps again. And if the Zack Martin situation is handled correctly, the figure gets even higher.

Cowboys' updated cap space after Osa Odighizuwa deal, CeeDee Lamb restructure​

The bottom line here and now, cap room could easily be between 60 and 80 million. What really can be considered in the now?

My calendar is now and I'm not watching the building of the pyramids.

No you aren't. So directly to you - seek them directly instead of a violation and insult, Ace.

That for fact, is ignorance in an organization that invest in talent and a variety of head coaches. That present in a professional sport that comes together annually.

30 can not be proven unless one reverts to mystical remedy. I don't...

The Cowboys are reportedly opening up $36.6 million in salary cap space by converting $45.5 million of Prescott's 2025 salary into signing bonuses. ESPN's Todd Archer reported the news of the restructuring on X (formerly Twitter).

Of course, the Cowboys still have to pay Prescott the full $52.9 million he's owed for 2025. Plus, his cap hit jumps to $76.5 million in 2026, then $70.8 million in 2027.

The Cowboys can also create more cap space for 2025 if and when they sign defensive end Micah Parsons to a long-term extension. They can backload his deal and open up some of the $24 million he's scheduled to make on his fifth-year option, though that will eventually put strain on the payroll in the contract's latter years.

There you go...

 

[Diehardblues]

They talk reason but with trust in loyalty and support. You are lazy here and claim being smarter as well. Homer is an insult that you have an abundance of as well.

Homers are basically supporting status quo regardless the outcome.

Critical thinking is prepared to offer accolades and or prodding depending on issue.

Micah Parsons​

Cap space available through a restructure/extension: Up to $18.27M

$20 M Lamb
$36.6 M Presscott
$56.6 M added to present cap

With Parsons that becomes potentially $74 .87 M available and some directed signings and strong draft on top talents

Thats 100% right..

If our favorite team was coming off a nice run of playoff wins over the last decade, I would be glad to see our front office and coaching staff craft our roster around keeping some key players that have been most influential in a bunch of playoff wins.

Problem is we have 2 wild card wins the last decade and a culture that has been questioned by those both inside and outside of this organization as being soft and not focused fully on winning football games.

Serious question- So why would this organization- almost yearly - decide the most important free agents to sign are “our guys”? Our guys who haven’t really accomplished that much. Are we trying to keep the same culture and performance from “our guys” why would expect the results it to get any better?

Put another way, are we assuming “our culture is fine”? Is our FO really just convinced that this three decade playoff drought is just bad luck?

Because if there’s no learning or understanding about what’s wrong with this organization, how are we supposed to “believe” we have righted the ship in the right direction?

I’m hoping we have a great draft and sign some impactful FAs. But what about this team’s culture? Doesn’t it need addressing too?

This culture thing is sooooo overrated.

Just go back to the 1990s, that team had plenty of players getting into trouble, whether that was with women, drugs, car accidents, assaulting teammates, etc.

 

[jterrell]

The short answer to the OP question is: absolutely not.
Zero to suggest Brian has enough sway to change the culture in any meaningful way.

But on the positive side, the asst coach staff on the offense appears to be drastically improved.
And the front office is actually doing the commonsense deals before the very last second possible.
