With that knowledge, the team that swears they can't afford good players could've had the following combo of players (per their Cap Hits for 2024):
  • Derrick Henry - $5,105,000
  • Nnamdi Madubuike (DT) - $7,100,000
  • Tyron Smith - $2,900,000 (even if he's NOT an All-Pro anymore, they could've let Guyton learn from him OR had Guyton play RT)
  • DaQuon Jones (NT) - $2,868,000
4 good to great players (when healthy). 2 DT's that ABSOLUTELY would've helped the DT room. And STILL have over $4M left. Had they just signed Dak and CeeDee BEFORE Free Agency (because they KNEW they were gonna cave and give them what they wanted LONG BEFORE the deals were done). But, they don't have the $$$...

I’ve wanted DaQuon Jones for what seems like the past 5 seasons and each time they pass on him. Our FO is just focused on what they like…..

Jerry had to extend the credit limit on his AMEX to help pay for Dak's reno's and teardowns

Either the Jones boys are that bad at their job or they really don't put winning above saving some money. Either way we are screwed and it's certainly not hard to see why it's been almost 3 decades under these clowns.

I said it at the beginning of the off season. They would let negotiations drag on and use them as an excuse not to sign anyone. They're so ridiculously obvious.

Plus Jerry could've traded that third to Cleveland and brought back Cooper in addition to the moves you listed.

Cleveland converted his salary into signing bonus so the bills are only paying cooper 800k for the rest of the season. Imagine that team.
