The Cowboys have zero cap problems. The front office though is extremely conservative with the cap.

It has been decades of the Joneses trying to emulate other front offices that have contributed to offseason malaises like the one it is currently experiencing. Should learn? They flunked a long time ago but when you are both the teacher and student, hey...

The Eagles are a playoff competitive team? Didn't look that way last year.

I would add that Jerry peaked in 1989. His single biggest achievement was the Herschel Walker trade that literally enabled him to build a dynasty
It's his only business model for success and cannot be duplicated. He's a one trick pony and has been swinging and missing for over a quarter century.
He will die on that hill.......

Nah, that's you Dak haters. 8 years of nonstop crying and complaining. Sad.

Last year the Eagles choked down the stretch, but every year the previous 4 - 5 years, they have been pretty good.

This tweet definitely needed another thread.

The ironic thing is Jerry spearheaded the induction of the salary cap. This all but sealed his fate as a low football I.Q. GM since he could not spend his way to a championship as he previously did.
He is a savvy businessman. But he is a complete and utter buffoon in football operations. How baffling.

someone get this man some coffee!!!!!! Can only imagine what they'll do what these picks, maybe a CB to follow ceedee around, or a DL to get pressure (we know they value the d-line)

All that expensive manpower for what? The Eagles and Cowboys both know who their head coach is in 2025. It is not the guys they have head coaching now. Neither team is winning the Super Bowl this season.

People said the Bucs sucked the year before when the Cowboys beat them. They also said the Cowboys sucked in 2023 when the Cowboys beat the Eagles for the division.

Um. No. Please don't learn from the Eagles.
That team fell apart last season, though they had some people here ... you know who you are, if you're honest... believing they were something special through the first half of the season.
No, I don't want to be paying all those salaries on offense (!!!).
The Eagles are effectively now in a position that their defense is going to be difficult to improve for quite awhile.

Damn. Its almost like......like we're in two different sports. I guess if you let Stephen tell it he will say Eagles have a higher salary cap than we do. Its all about the "pie" lol.....
