Cap hell is coming

[Bobhaze]

Plus you have no FEAR of losing your income. All these people are filthy rich...What incentive do they have to win. No pressure what so ever. Either way? I'm good

And that’s why this organization’s top brass are willing to throw away whole seasons and players careers because they are never up against the wall to “win or else”….

Somehow the winning owners of the last 28 Super Bowls figured out it was a really good idea to hire someone else to serve in the GM position.

The teams winning SBs watch Stephen Jones proclaim “We don’t have cap room for that”. Then they say “hold my beer” and somehow they find a way. Year after year.

This is correct

Don’t mistake my comments on cap hell as a defense of our spending habits. If anything it’s a reflection that we are too conservative during the offseason. There are so many ways to avoid the consequences of overspending that it just doesn’t make sense to be so conservative.

Why does everything go back to Dak? If I said Jesus is coming you guys will say but Dak….so we can’t have any opinion on this site without it going back to Dak?

Salary cap thread and you get pissed because we speak about the player with by far the biggest cap influence. Oh my the humanity of it all!

I agree. I wish we could somehow find the old riverboat gambler Jerry used to be. The salary cap is a giant runbber band, not a giant chain.

No that’s not what my post said. My post said Goff sucked and you felt the need to come to his defense by bringing up Dak? I don’t understand….my post said nothing about salary….

You extend him you free up money to sign players and stay put you take a bigger hit. Will see what this front office wants to do

Like Jerry hasn't handicapped the team for DECADES....versus years....

That's why I say all these fans just saying "Dak" are phonies!!!!! They say Dak yet nothing about the main cancer-Jerry Jones and family. Get Dak out of here and what's going to change that hasn't in 28 years???? Really?????

No it’s not.

There’s no such thing as cap hell when you can take interest free loans against future salary caps whenever you want.

Its especially not coming when the salary cap
Continues to rise every season due to increasing revenue.

Except that you do things like signing Zeke to a 6 year deal that ends up costing you $6M cap dead money in 2024 (2 yrs after he left the team). The cap is real. cap manipulation is real. But when you have to manipulate the cap too much because of agreeing to dumb contracts, it prevents the team from having another vet or two on the roster who get meaningful snaps. Or it means cutting somebody like Brandon Cooks or Brian Anger early and going with a rookie or retread to shave a few $M. Then, you have a shallow roster that can't hold up to a full season.

When your QB needs to be surrounded by All Pros, but his salary prevents stockpiling talent, you are indeed in cap hell.

I don’t believe in CAP hell.

[Cowboysheelsreds058]

He did. Also "led" the Rams to the SB....I'm confused so you're saying Goff is a championship QB? I'm confused by your approach....
