It’s just flat bizarre. Offering RBs averaging 3.6 ypc any kind of FA deal - even cheap - is a waste of cap space. I would feel way better if we just put our RB chips into the draft.

Two good rookie RBs with upside, energy and less cost is way better than throwing these one year FA contracts to guys who are driving on bald tires.

These are the kind of deals that really show the Cowboys front Office has no clue as to what they are doing.

NOPE ... Nope you just found someone that utilizes common sense, that doesn't get emotionally involved in the hater groups, I'm not going to help you carry your pitchforks and your torches around burning Jerry and the organization to the ground at every turn..

even if they don't deserve it, and sure they've done plenty to deserve the criticism they get, but there are some things that absolutely are out of their control like this, and you can't see it doesn't make me their agent it makes you a little bit delusional clueless and that you just wanna further the hate narrative towards the Jones family and is not going to join you I'm not joining that part of your club..

I'm not sure how you're typing but be careful is holding those pitchforks and torches and all that hate you might tip over and fall.... Or is it the sky is falling doom and gloom whatever group that you're part of I'm not joining I get it I get the criticism towards the ownership and the GM but that's OK in this case I stand by my post..

.

You are the new Rocky... never go against the regime... Cowboys will win 14 games in your eyes next season.

"I wasn't aware of any clock. Where's the clock? There are a helluva lot more important things than a clock. Take a long time to do this. How 'bout the timing to do that..."

This was Jerry Jones' response when asked about why they wait until the final hours to sign their good players (to be fair, they have done a better job this offseason). Last offseason and with Micah this offseason, not being aware of any "clock" has resulted in Micah's price going up and up.

From rags to riches.

Great.

Wish him all the best there. Maybe he gets a ring.

Really? The fact that they will probably draft 2 running backs shows that you don't know what you are talking about.

Trey is not coming back, they even refused to play him in garbage games at the end of the season.

The other reason is Jerry will never admit he made a mistake and Trey playing well if Dak can’t go would make Jerry look like an idiot for giving him that mega contract.

Jerry would rather lose games than look like an idiot. Besides, if Trey was being groomed Steven would not be talking about looking at the draft for a young guy.

When do they ever seem like they know what they are talking about. Especially drafting a QB. I will believe that when it actually happens. And a late round pick is bogus. Needs to be top 3 rounds.

 

[Trajan]

So, let me get this straight. We spent a 4th round pick on a backup QB, then still paid Dak the most money ever in history, Dak got hurt then instead of playing the 4th round guy, just sat him, and played Rush, only to lose both Rush and Lance in the off season, so now are stuck with an aging, often hurt highest paid QB in the league and no one else ?

This team really can’t figure the little stuff out can they ?

 

[maryquality]

Now THAT would be comical, indeed!!

 

[KingCorcoran]

Or....trade him for #1, #2, #2, and draft the #1 QB in 2026
Finally we'll be on the road to the Super Bowl

No team is trading anything significant for Micah Parsons.

 

[tyke1doe]

I guess this ends the Rush-more Dak-less debates around here.

Sad thing is Rush will see a Super Bowl before this roster will.

What we did at RB is good. It makes sense after the draft. None of these guys were signed as the starter. Same with signing Campbell. But now our RB and wr room are capable, upgraded. Javonte Williams is a young good player. Runs very hard and is a bigger back. Campbell the new wr is great experienced depth and won't stop us from drafting a guy. No big deal.

Campbell and the 2 running backs give them depth going into camp. They aren't married to them. At this point it appears that they will draft a receiver and a running back high in the draft. I'd recommend a receiver in round one either at 12 or a trade back and a runner in round 2 or 3.

 

[McKDaddy]

Chase & Higgins are great receivers BUT signing Chase for QB level money is the sign of a bad franchise. It's the Jerry model of sign marketable players who sell jerseys & keep interest high while never being a serious contender.

Smart teams have always valued the trenches. Teams ahead of the current curve are pivoting away from paying receivers top dollar. Teams who had great seasons last year are blowing offensive lines up and rebuilding plus trying to upgrade their RB position.

Set the tone with a physical run game & supplement that with the passing game. That is the model teams have realized gives them an advantage against all the "passing defenses" and is economically easier to manage & doesn't require an elite QB.

 

[DCwarrior]

I dont see what a WR has to do with Michas contract.

Yes Jerry is stupid for waiting, but Jamar Chase getting paid has zero to do with this contract.

Something has changed where most elite players don’t get paid according to their position scale like they used to. Now all “elite” players have their own category called non QB position.

 

[maryquality]

And now the Texans with the "highest paid CB" in the NFL. Derek Stingley

[Mobinvans]

Waste of money for a receiver

 

[baltcowboy]

The Cowboys really need to get these deals done soon. As we worry about Parsons, Bland and Tyler will be asking for 30 + as well.

Micah said he does not need to be the highest paid non-quarterback in the league. Now he can get $40 million per season and that will be true.

 

[noshame]

Are you OK paying him 40+

 

[Hadenough]

To be honest the Cowboys don’t have to extend Parsons. For the money he will command you might be better off tagging him twice. It’s gonna take some time but a deal might get done over the summer. Let’s just hope he doesn’t hold out although I don’t think it would matter much. Parsons job is to hit the quarterback. It’s not like Ceedee who has to get chemistry with the quarterback and the new offensive wrinkles over the summer.

Parsons will hold out. I think he already said it.
