It isn't about not wanting to pay players. It's figuring out where you want the cap dollars to go. The Cowboys don't think a punter is worth $5 million per year. I don't expect them to sign Wagner because his asking price will be above their value of the position, but the idea that they aren't willing to pay big money should be put to bed by contracts like the one they gave Prescott.
If you’re truly talking about winning, ..and knowing the methods to win, .. then it is about paying players, if you’re able to be in a position to pay for significant players – core players.
- You gonna have give up something to get something, ..
And its been the course and blueprint to several past SB wins.
- The Pats, the Rams, Baltimore, even Philly brought in FA help to bridge their paths to winning SBs, .. it doesn’t mean going all out on a spending spree such as the Rams did,
But it does tend to show that there’s a need for a “ middle ground “ significant vet player or two to try to help and give their respective teams an improvement chance
of trying to get over the top and win a SB.
- If the Cowboys feel they can go back out on the street and get another cheap Pro bowl caliber punter again without dishing having to dish out 5 mil,. ..that’s their gamble.
They likely already have their Chris Jones, or Hunter Niswander type set in mind,
