This x1000.
IMO that's BS. JJ is a business icon. If he didn't know what he was doing financially, than he wouldn't be so successful in business. To say otherwise is just wrong.
/end thread. This is where fat and lazy come into play for the Jones’. The Cowboys’ fan base is large enough that the goal is mediocre-anything exceeding that is gravy.
Being a smart businessman doesn't somehow mean you can run a football team and manage contracts competently. Lurie is also a very successful businessman but he knows his limitations and gave football authority to Roseman. Jerry it too arrogant to understand his limitations/flaws.
The only money you can move down the road is bonus money, or instant payments. It was reported around 2018 that Oakland was trading Amari and Khalil Mack because ownership simply couldn’t afford to pay 2 players that much signing bonus at the same time. Obviously this has changed with their move to Las Vegas, but Owners like Mike Brown, Mark Davis, Michael Bidwell, and Amy Strunk are just going to be less inclined to fork over 200, 300, 400m$ in future cap money more than is necessary. Whereas multi-multi-multi-billionaires like Jerry and Lurie and the Glazers have less issue with that.
they were also represented by the same agent.
Is the league stopping the Cowboys from doing the same?
I've used this example several times in the past when Jerry or his son say they are maxed out on the cap.
He know this. But he’s also afforded the ability to try and win a ring his way because of past success. I have no doubt he wants to win. He’s just going about it the wrong way.
You are living in fantasy land if you believe Howie is not willing to have a 1-3 year blow it up and deal with the fallout of 0-5 win seasons. Jerry/Stephen have nightmares of dealing with that fallout. Howie grins and wins another SB. Hurts is standing on a land mine. The second his mobility starts hindering his performance, Howie grins with his finger on the explosive button. No player is safe from Howie
I think Stephen understands perfectly well what the Eagirls are doing salary cap wise. He’s just too much of a narcissist and thinks his way is better.
Most of Dak’s cap hits have been less then 15 percent thanks to how they push his salary down the road.
It worked because they hit on Hurts. Howie is not arrogant enough to think this plan works if Hurts is hobbled or hurt. Let’s remember the reason why they have the team they have now was for in case it Hurts busted they were gonna draft another quarterback. He hits and they are allowed to use it on Carter who fell in the draft because of character issues.
Concerning the bold. I can't stress enough how much harder it is after the first extension. I tried to explain it in the Purdy thread.
What the eagles did with AJ Brown may be the way to go in the future. They signed him to a 4 year extension, then extended him after year 1 of that extension to another 3 year extension. So the bog water at the end of the first extension is now pretty much blended into a full 6 years of team control
I think fans in general overlook the impact of signing bonus money, especially in the case of Dallas. It’s their money and they control it as opposed to being given a budget by a boss.
