Are you happy with the results so far........... Pappy?
1) Teams build through the draft.
2) The Cowboys have been drafting very well overall.
3) Usually have to overpay for trades and FAs. Cowboys don’t do this.
4) Cowboys often overpay to keep their players. Jerry is too loyal to players and fans. Yes, the majority of Cowboy fans wanted Dak, Elliott, Lawrence, et al at any price.
Chiefs would be nothing without Mahomes, Hill, and Kelce. All players they drafted.
One can talk Bills, Bengals, and Browns but they are not some super team. Let’s see where they are after they pay the QBs a second monster contract.
Right now, the Cowboys can compete with any team out there.
The Cowboys last four seasons: 33-31 regular season, 1-2 in the playoffs, This is what they've paid handsomely to keep together?
Someone actually compared Dallas to the Chiefs.
The Chiefs are 48-16 the last four seasons, 6-3 in playoffs and 1-1 in SBs. THAT is what you pay to keep together.
The last 4 seasons have proven that!!!
P.S.Send me some of the stuff you're drinking.......thks
The Cowboys ‘can compete’ and have competed the past 4 seasons. Have not put together a playoff run or had success in big games.

As others have mentioned in the past, good fortune/luck favored them on the last 2 QBs of the past 15 years or the near .500 w/l record could be well below that mark. Let that kinda sink in, lol.
Second contracts to their own and Free Agency acquisitions are total fails.
To make it worst the 2 positions they've needed the most help in the last 3 years (interior defensive line and safety) are the 2 positions that mid tier starters aren't that expensive...... (those 2 positions offer the best bang for your buck in free agency).Building through the draft works but signing a top tier free agent or two helps significantly.
The Cowboys proved that they can draft. Their problem is they wont push themselves over the top in free agency.
Agreed. Love the whole "cowboys draft amazing" when to my knowledge D-law has been the only consistent franchise defensive player drafted in the first 3 rounds from 2010-2019Defensively, they have done poorly at all 3 stages of evaluation, acquisition and development.
3) Usually have to overpay for trades and FAs. Cowboys don’t do this.
4) Cowboys often overpay to keep their players.
As QBs go, so goes the team. Get a great QB and chances are the team will do pretty well. Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, Tom Brady, Mahomes, Romo, Dak, Rodgers, Roth, etc.
Second contracts are tough for any team under the salary cap. Let's see how Clev, Balt, and Buff do paying their QBs market value of $40M/year. Jets and SF took a huge gamble with Wilson and Lance. The Jets are trying to mimic the 2016 Cowboys with good OL carrying a rookie QB to success.
You said they don't overpay FAs, then said they overpay FAs.
