Jerry, is that you?

 

[Cowboys22]

Are they a better team than last year? Maybe that’s why some of us are unhappy.

 

[Carter]

The Thing is they didnt improve to last Year.

They resigned the guys they already had and signed a FB for their own FB and swapped a 5th for a 6th with it.

They also lost a couple of Starters and solid Players without replacement so far.

Cant only hope for a good Draft.

 

[Ranching]

Jerry, is that you?

No, it's Stephen.

We should celebrate that our 500 team stood pat! You ingrate!

not unhappy, honestly don't care what was spent, we want better. Throw that figure out there as if it would make us happy about how they handle FA
Good Try!!!!!

You don't necessarily improve by spending big bucks in FA. You improve by drafting better which is a more
cost effective way to build and better a team. At least that's what Stephen and McClay think.

 

[RamziD]

Re-signing your own guys does not improve the team. It just keeps things status quo.

 

[QuincyCarterEra]

But we want new shiny toys Jumbo!
Not the toys that we know work in our scheme!

But they beat the super bowl champs (practice squad) to finish the season. I guess they are ready.

 

[John813]

Incorrect number for Brian Price. His cap hit for this year is 630k

Yes but if you only sign Jags in Free Agency and lose Starters and Backups in the Meantime you cant equal that through a Draft.

Normally only Day 1 Guys start or make an Impact anyway.

So as of today we are a lot worse than last year.

Wow you rather us have lost Lawrence and Irving to sign outside FAs?

 

[cowboy_ron]

lol, 24M is lunch money to what most other teams spend to try and improve their teams.......we stay in cap hell and that's with a minimum wage QB.

4 of the 5 signings listed in the OP are starters

What works in our scheme? Where is the success if things are working?

LOL.

Sweet. So our FA plan was keep the status quo.

Oh wait. We added a new FB!

 

[Carter]

Yes but they were here before.

I meant we lost Starters like Hitchens and didnt replace em. You can Count Scandrick and Cooper as pereniall Starters too and we didnt replace em.

If the Plan is to lose 4-5 Starters and hope for the Draft to fix all those holes while trying to get better that wont work
