Cowboys vs Skins in Free Agency

[Fla Cowpoke]

The Pats literally made Stephon Gilmore one of the highest paid CBs in football an offseason or two ago.

It’s embarrassing that people actually think we approach FA and overall roster management like the Patriots.

Yeah, cuz we never have made our guys the highest paid at their position. Except we have. With Smith. And Frederick. And Martin. Dez was a top 2-3 salary. Romo was a top 5 salary. We tend to overpay, not underpay.

Remember all of those years the Skins won big in free agency? Albert Haynesworth, etc..

The Cowboys losing in free agency to the Skins still really hurts.

I don't care about the Patriots winning some silly game in February so many times. That's trivial compared to all of those years the Skins won free agency.

I've heard the Patriots won that same silly game again but I couldn't care less. My focus is on the Cowboys winning free agency.

I fear the Skins might be up to their winning ways again this year.

Stupid teams like the Patriots and Cowboys will like just keep on being losers (in free agency) every year. I feel as bad for those Patriots fans as for us Cowboys fans. At least we won free agency once or twice since 2000 (50M for Brandon Carr one year and about 50M for Bigg Davis another year). The sad sack Patriots have never won.

I have the press conference from when the Cowboys signed Brandon Carr that I just re-watch every year to remember the great memories.

Without a top notch QB they are toothless IMO.

So you, too, are on the “we are just like the Patriots” train?

I said we draft better than the Pats.

And yes from a free agency perspective we and the Patriots have similar philosophies. At least as it relates to the current regimes.

Not sure why that confused people.

Bet you thought the Jags won FA when they signed Parnell though.

They immediately went to the playoffs which had been a rare occurrence for them...
