There are a lot of other teams who have changed owners (and GM's in case you think that Jerry is actually still running all that) that haven't won a Super Bowl as well. It's not like it's an easy feat to accomplish.
He's a good receiver, but I doubt he'd be worth 3 high picks like that. JMO.
Exactly............this front office is the biggest joke in the league.
The fact that Jerry's idiot boy doesn't know how to manage the cap is not Lamb's fault or responsibility.
The NFL has never learned the value of a thing called Incentive! They pay out big money guaranteed, regardless of production. If players had to produce for the big bucks, we'd see more production. It's a simple law of nature. How many times have we seen players up their production in a contract year and then suddenly show a little less excitement and drive after they get paid?
Just a co-incidence that now Jefferson's off the board and the Sunday Ticket case may reduce the CAP CeeDee, all of a sudden, is eager to sign.
Probably fearing it's an either/or with Dak in 2025.
Well let’s have some fun and suppose they were broke, yet the team they have put together with that same allotment as every other team isn’t good enough.
We'll never know, however, it appears the GB game has rocked the plans for Lamb and Dak (and possibly Micah).
I just dont get the strategy here, if they dont want to pay Lamb he should have been traded before the draft.
They chose, not to spend on a team, that on paper looked Championship Game level, but in reality had so many holes.....and costly decisions to be made.
That would be tantamount to giving up on 2024. Also the Stefon Diggs haul, showed there wasnt much of a market for expensive WR's, in a pretty stacked draft.
Been saying practically the same thing for years. If NFL pay was incentive based I guarantee Dallas wouldn't be about to pass the 30 year mark since their last NFCCG appearance. The players still make the same money regardless because production isn't necessary, and that's a load of horse manure if you ask most people. The NFL would be far more competitive if the players actually had to earn the 'bags' they keep demanding.
It’s the signing bonus. 8)
I hope he does hold out and demand trade. He is a top 5 at his position and isn't getting paid neither is Micah. Yet the QB isn't even top 10 and he is way over paid. So much wrong with this organization. I hope both players hold out and just refuse to play for the Cowboys.
Giving Lamb an extension would open up cap space. They don't need a single dollar in cap space.
The problem is he's getting the FT this year and with the predicted Sunday Ticket induced ramifications on the CAP, poor CeeDee's a bit in no-man's land. He and Dak may well be battling for one contract.
Years ago the Steelers used to operate that way. They would give out the usual 4-5 year contract, but only the signing bonus was guaranteed. You could get cut any year. I doubt they still do this. That's the type of contract Le'Veon Bell turned down. It was 5 years 75M, with a 10M signing bonus. He had to actually play to get the rest.
