I disagree that “all 32 teams do this stuff as well”. Some do. But some of the smarter, more strategic front offices don’t wait and wait to get deals done with stars. They are moves ahead.No the counter point is you don't know what's going on behind closed doors ,you act like the Cowboys are the only one holding these deals up, if they want Max money and won't come down on negotiations, then this is what happens..
literally you're not adding in the agent and the player in the holdup, you think it's always about the Dallas Cowboys FO, how do you not know that the players are not willing to deal and they're standing pat at like an insane number??!
you're not hearing everything that comes out of the ranch oops I mean the star, just because we all as fans get to see massive amounts of information leak and is available to us don't mean you know everything, not everything is being talked about , trust me...
Most of what we hear is what they allow us to hear, the stuff in public is simply posturing... There are other players on 5th year contracts, on franchise tags, or waiting on big contracts, & the markets already been set..
we've already discussed it,
we think CD lamb is waiting on Justin Jefferson and vice versa but there are other wide receivers waiting on contracts right now as well.. this is not a Jerry Jones thing you just say it is you all like the baster Jones is even though lots of players play on a fifth year, they play on a franchise tag, and or they hold out for more money or they get traded and/or become free agents..
this is just the business of the NFL and you're making it a Jones family deal and it is not just them.. It's odd that you all don't see this around the NFL the other 32 teams they do this stuff as well they don't always just up a guy it seems like that to you there's an awful lot of players that are being traded or playing on a fifth year option or a franchise tag this is just a business of the NFL in sports it doesn't always get done when it should be in the fans eyes there are a lot of details that work out and some of these huge ridiculous contracts that are coming up now...
Some of the better GMs sign them way early knowing in the long run they save money. (49ers, eagles, Seahawks are easy examples) Some will even trade some of their stars at the height of their value in order to acquire more draft capital (rams, bucaneers, chiefs)
Blue, where I disagree with you is 32 teams don’t always handle things like the Cowboys do. In fact the teams who have shown the most playoff success the last decade to decade and a half tend to be the most aggressive.
