1.Do fill needs and make sure the player has a specific scheme fit
2.Don't sign a player and change his techniques
3.Do know the player you are signing very well
4.Don't believe that "your culture" will change a person's behavior.
5.Do realize that you are never one player away from a championship.
6.Do be very disciplined in sticking to your budget.
7.Don't pay a player above his grade.
8.Don't give A- or B-money (or years) to a player who doesn't play well on third down.
9.Don't give a four-year or longer contract, even to an A player, who is 28 years of age or older.
10.Don't give a long-term contract to a player with a significant injury history.
11.Do beware of players whose production dramatically increases in their contract year.
12.Don't chase the market, particularly for someone else's player, and don't allow agents to manipulate you.
13.Don't pay a free agent more money than the A-players or B-plus-players on your team.
14.Do save your money if you're not yet ready to contend.

Were they just looking at the Cowboys of the 2000's and just listing things that went wrong?
Well also the Commanders.
