Cowboys last in the league in cash spending for 2022 season

[DuncanIso]

The Star cost Dallas an estimated 1.5 Billion.

Over 30 years, that’s a 4.2 million $ monthly payment, principle only.

Which is 50 million in principle a year.

That’s where our salary difference went.

Quarter-billion dollar yachts ain't cheap y'all.

I know there's no place for balance or appearing to support a more prudent approach (when facing CAP difficulties, which we undoubtably did 22/23) however, dont those figure just include Base Salary and not Prorated Bonus (cash already spent in previous years), which somewhat highlights the CAP difficulties we were in.

You know why?

Dak took it all

You will always spend less shopping at the Thrift stores compared to shopping at Macy’s and Saks Fifth.

A single years cash spending means very little. If you sign an expensive player and pay a big bonus it’s gonna be high.
If you have a lot of dead money from previous deals then it ends up low
That’s why some spent over the cap limit

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

We are stuck with this thing to the end my friend……maybe we’ll see another Lombardi here before one of us shuffles off his mortal coil

Tad and the entourage cost money, son

 

[ghst187]

Could’ve really used Amari last season…but we were told he cost too much…

What a pointless click bait stat that says absolutely nothing about anything and gives false implications in the process. The only spending that matters is how much cap space you have and it’s not like Dallas was overflowing with it.

Tell us you know nothing about nfl finances without telling us you know nothing

I feel like I'm kinda getting there.

People in here are absolutely clueless on the value of cash spending in the nfl

It’s massively important. All you guys know is the cap and the cap is a complete joke and isn’t nearly as important as cash ..players don’t play for cap space. They play for cash..if you want to sign big name players, you need cash and a lot of it. Teams that are cash rich (Rams) can go out and splurge bc they have the cash to do it

You can’t sign players and promise them an IOU. they want cash and they want it now

That only works when you are actually correct about your point. When you are completely wrong, like you are now, you just come off looking like an arrogant moron (and that is the most polite way to put it). None of these owners, except for the Raiders, are really in a position where they are worried about individual year spending because they got rich playing the long game and over time they all are spending the same amount and moving around what year you spend it in does not change that.

Meanwhile as it comes to team building the amount you spent in a given year DOES NOT MATTER. What matters is the cap which is also how spending evens out long term. If you do something like pay 75m in signing bonus in 2021 and then spread it out over 5 years that adds 15m to the 2022 cap but you did not spend that money in 2022. This is basically elementary school math here so I trust you understand it.

 

[Bullflop]

Our executive leadership saves and spends its millions on lotsa personal stuff -- mansions, helicopters, yachts, buses, planes and such! It's awful. It surely would be great if they spent as lavishly on their team having a winning season, though. Well, I can dream, can't I?

Yes. Elementary math is the limit for your knowledge. Of course singling out any 1 year on cash spending means nothing. That isn’t the point. The cap can easily be manipulated as we all already know. Cash spending is critical and not all teams have the same level of cash flow. Some teams are cash rich and others are not. It’s a tool that should be used for the largest franchise in the world of sports but unfortunately, this team has no care when it comes to winning as using it as a competitive advantage. Not to mention, cap boy, this team doesn’t even spend all of the available cap, they consistently rolling over dozens of millions each year. That’s elementary cap economics, I trust that you understand this.

 

[Mr Cowboy]

These things aren't cheap, you must save money somewhere!

 

[dckid]

We run the golden goose of the NFL franchise like a mom and pop shop. No offense to a mom and pop shop but its the truth.
Have been saying this for years.
Who is the last big FA this team signed? When did they make a big move?
Go back to 2010 time frame, the Cowboys don't spend cash, they are not trying to win a SB every year.
Their goal is to be around .500, hence 10 years of JG.
We are what we are, don't expect anything to change.

 

[mardwin]

Make big money, but spend money like they'll never have it again!!!

How much dead money did they carry last year?

 

[starman22]

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

Or an STD

Bravo, Bravo!
