Twitter: Cowboys lead the league in "homegrown" players on roster

[Denim Chicken]

Homegrown = players on an active roster in the NFL based on what team they originally were signed/drafted by

They like their guys....did I do that correctly?

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

And it's not even close.

What part of "we like our guys" do you all not understand?

 

[DanTanna]

That is awful.

 

[DBOY3141]

what time is the parade set for?

Funny the Rams are third and everyone thinks they go all out in FA.

Because they do both. Well.

They will actually do trades and free agency for impact players to help supplement that home grown talent as well. Seems to work. Maybe the Jones boys will pick up on it some day to realize that's how you get over the hump.

Another instance where Jerry does something to a fault. Even if its something good.

Most fans have no idea that the Rams lost more then they got. For example.............they see them sign a guy like Wagner, but fail to realize they lost Von Miller. Then they see them sign a guy like Allen Robinson but fail to see that they lost Woods and Odell Beckham.

Imagine that. Replacing positions you lose players at

This isn’t a shot at you Roy.

True, but thats not what people think. Most think they just keep getting better and better.

Not sure what "go all out" means, but they are willing to do what it takes to bring in players from other teams or free agency. No one can build a team of only free agents. The CAP prevents that. But teams like the RAMs fill a few positions on offense and defense to elevate their roster.

 

[Manster68]

81.7% is about 43 of the 53 players on the active roster.

 

[CWR]

Cool if it actually results in something more than cost savings for the Jones boys.

 

[Teague31]

Cap boy loves cheap players.

 

[Oz-of-Cowboy-Country]

Well is like I always say... if you want to build a dynasty the first thing you must defeat is the salary cap.

In Super Bowl X from the 1975 season (played in January 1976), the only non home grown player on either Dallas' or Pittsburgh's roster was Preston Pearson (and he was a former Steeler & Colt)

How times have changed.
