Top spending teams in 2021:

Cash Spenders
1. Cowboys, $262M
2. Buccaneers, $245M
3. Patriots, $241M

Cap Spenders
1. Cowboys, $201M
2. Patriots, $197M
3. Browns, $197M



Note; I'm contemplating getting the paid version of Spotrac which would give me the exact cash spend numbers for each season going back to 2011.

 

[ChronicCowboy]

Almost the entire thing was Dak

 

[cowboys5xsbs]

2021? Why does that matter?

 

[CWR]

Almost the entire thing was Dak

Almost the entire 262 million was the 18 they spent on Dak? I'm not sticking up for the FO, but I'm confused..lol

Salary, not cap hit.

He took home around $75mil in actual cash in 2021

 

[Whiskey Cowboy]

2021? Why does that matter?

It matters because there was a conversation implying that Dallas is cheap and hasn't spent money in a decade.

*Title said 2024 on the website, but was under the 2021 year tab.

This is fake news... a total lie. No way did the Cowboys spend that kind of money. We all know how Jerry and Stephen are tight with their money. They dont spend any money at all. I read it in here from all of the "Experts," on what we should be doing to get to the SB.

Just tank, get a top 10 pick, draft a qb and pow, SB here we come.

so show the numbers every year from say 2012 to 2022.
A ten year trend is telling
cherry picking ONE year MEANS NOTHING

 

[JBS]

75M is all of the 260M+spent?

 

[John813]

75M is all of the 260M+spent?

No. The poster mentioned 18mil.
That's was the cap hit.

I wasn't the poster they quoted. Simply posting the amount of cash Dak took home.

 

[Blast From The Past]

Almost the entire thing was Dak

This is on the front office/Jerry/ Stevie and I don't blame Dak for receiving it.

 

[MarcusRock]

In 2021, I was dating two women at the very same time!

 

[JBS]

No. The poster mentioned 18mil.
That's was the cap hit.

Got ya

 

[charron]

Of course they spend. They are the kings of spending poorly.

 

[Vinnie2u]

“You have to spend money to make money.”

 

[Miller]

I’m not sure why you are so heck bent on trying to disprove a guy who looked at all the financials, researched them and then was on Twitter and The Ticket detailing them. It’s bizarre. The numbers were not false

 

[jujoboys]

Almost the entire thing was Dak

Cash paid that year to various players:

$75 million for Dak (contract year)
$20 million for Amari Cooper
$17 million for Demarcus Lawrence
$11 million for Zack Martin
$10.5 million for Tyron Smith
$9.6 million for Zeke
$8.1 million for La'el Collins

I guess the NFLPA is lying

2021-2023

I looked hard, but could not find the 2020 data, so we’ll have to do without. Again the NFLPA provides the data for 2021, 2022, 2023. The data for all three years is summarized in the table below.

32​	NO​	183.1​	148.3​	183.2​	514.6​

The Cowboys, like it or not, have spent less cash on their team over the last decade than almost any other NFL team. They ranked 25th in cash spend from 2013-2016, 32nd from 2016-2019, and 30th from 2021-2023. That’s as clear a pattern as you’re going to get.

Same conclusion from weeks back

And exactly why does this matter, its 2024 not 2021.
