I think it is unreasonable, because we see teams in worse shape manipulate the cap in their favor and make signings year in and year out. It's so fluid, if the FO wanted to add FAs they would.
Spotrac and OverTheCap are by far the most used references for NFL cap information.
Spotrac isn’t what I’d call accurate all the time. OTC is better. But why would NFLPA have different numbers for all those years? It’s not Cowboy driven. Two separate articles reference them and multiple finance guys have gone through them. As I said they were discussed on the radio yesterday and so far there is no blowback. The original article compiled their data. Unless you can prove the NFLPA is putting out false data then the question is what are both sources basing “cash” as.
That is not actully true.
The NFLPA numbers are a subset of the total. It leaves out some categories of cash spending.
Outside of showing a trend there is no point; and the evidence of doing Jack this offseason as regards spending is pretty clear
Not really. If the Chiefs had Dak instead of Mahomes, their fans would be melting downs over trading away their star CB this off-season and their star WR last off-seasoni.
It actually is true accordingly to cash spent. Cowboys can use all the smoke and mirrors they want to make it appear like they are trying but they are content with the status quo. As far as the Jones' are considered, they win the super bowl every year because the only thing important to him is the all mighty dollar.
Thing is, the Chiefs would never put themselves in a position to be held hostage by an average QB. Dak has all the leverage in the world and he can tell that the Cowboys are not serious about winning. Why not milk the cash cow for every penny.
You are correct, bad decisions made in the past (like giving Gallup a new contract coming off an ACL injury, paying Zeke the GDP of a small 3rd world country, ect...) have all contributed to cap charges for players no longer on the team.
No almost the entire salary was spent on offense though. If I recall correctly cowboys spent the most on offfense and were either last or second to last on amount spent on defense. Still couldn’t get over the top with all those weapons on offense bc that was the year Dak and the overpriced offense only managed 17 pts against San Fran and kept defense on field the entire game.
that still does not equal the word most of took most of no 75,000,000 is a drop in the bucket to the total sal;ary cap.. But we always wanna do this go break down all the other teams they say the Cowboys don't spend enough money but there are other teams with quarterbacks making over 50 million or somewhere in that range let's just use 45 to 55 minutes with very highly paid quarterbacks why are they not at the top of this list I mean you always wanna break the front office down and just rip your own team but the point of the post always gets missed they say the Cowboys are not spending enough that they're cheap and they're not everyone has the same cap and the way you look at it from the three areas of how sport tracks breaks it down the Cowboys are still one of the ones that spend the money regardless if you don't like it or not and this all season by the way is only 15 days old they have a long ways between now and game one to put the roster together and we'll change the narrative of this offseason just like that off season was I believe the season or it could have been 2022 was called historically bad offseason and we ended up going to the second round of the playoffs with this historically bad offseason per the fans opinion...
Yes, you take out a loan to open a “win now” window and deal with the payback later after making an honest effort at a Super Bowl. Yet, here we are with the window basically closed and there was never an honest effort at adding to the team. AND there is debt to pay back in dead $ as well. The Jones’ are a dog that is chasing its tail without ever getting anywhere.
