Cowboys last in the league in cash spending for 2022 season

[links18]

And yet we were so close, according to the Jones Boyz.

And still got 12 wins.....one more dollar will get us a SB.

Get used to it with Stephen in charge

 

[Malhavoc]

They make more and spend less. It’s the Jones way.

We're good guys!! Jerry said so on 105.3 The Fan awhile back.

"It would be embarrassing, it would be shocking if you knew the size of the check I would write if it guaranteed me a Super Bowl."

What does that even mean cash spending? Cash spending on what?

And you guys thought when Cap Boy Little Stevie took over the finances from pappa, things would be so much better.

At lest Jerry in his prime spent money, usually on the wrong players, but he spent money nonetheless.

Cap Boy acting like team salaries are coming straight out of his inheritance.

In the comment section:

What's the point of this? If every team is required to spend the same amount over the long term, single year cash flow is meaningless. If a team didn't spend much this year, it just means their spending is higher the year before or after. It's impossible for a team to be "cheap".

It's not impossible to be cheap. There's a minimum spending amount but teams can also spend beyond that because the minimum is not 100%. In this case, "cheap" is doing the bare minimum relative to a team who's spending spending more than the minimum.

On base salaries and bonuses. It's not prorated, it's the amount of money that actually changed hands during a given year.

$50M signing bonus would typically count as $10M in cap charges per year for 5 years, but it counts as $50M in cashing spending only for year 1.

You get what you pay for. A simple concept that little Enos can’t seem to grasp.

Never occurred to you that we got 12 in spite of Jethro and the clown show?

Or that maybe spending more just might make a real difference?

So many still refuse to admit the clown show gets a lot of wins because of other factors then them being competent

A lot of times I wish I had the ability to switch my favorite team.

I would if the old Houston Oilers were still around.

When you look at how the cowboys work their contracts it makes sense though. For example year 1 they gave Dak $75M up front. So they paid dak nearly half his money on his entire right away. A lesser but similar situation with zeke where they paid him $20M I’m 2020.

Big contract guys are getting paid up front with less money the rest of the way. This number should change for the cowboys as they sign more high dollar guys in the near future like lamb, diggs, parsons, etc. as they’ll likely front load the money and push the cap hit to the end of the deals.

Exactly. That is a BS number.
As all teams work with the same cap number. And there is a minimum they must meet for payroll.

And since Dallas was over the cap, it is obvious they are not one of the cheapest teams. It is how they allocate it.
Such as over paying Zeke, DLaw, and Dak but that was the going rate for QB's.

Its a completely meaningless figure. All it means is that the Cowboys had their affairs in order before the year even started over other teams.

I don't really get how you can often be over the cap, but last in spending. You're still spending money it's just reallocation to prior or future years.

It's your clown show because you still support them. Did it occur to you that if the haters would stop watching Jerry might spend more money? I don't see it as a clown show, we have a great roster. Better than most
You guys are hilarious! Keep them knee slappers coming

Possible cash flow problems for the team?

The new stadium and the Star was a lot of cash…..

 

[DuncanIso]

Good stuff man.

"It would be embarrassing, it would be shocking if you knew the size of the check I would write if it guaranteed me a Super Bowl."

Unless, of course, the fine print on that check also required that Jerry step down and hire a real GM. Then he wouldn't buy it for a dollar.
