Every good front office should have a clear plan in advance of every season

[jazzcat22]

Could be the plan was to not do much of anything. Ride out the year with the current coaches and players and situation. Then go from there for 2025.
Make the moves necessary without over doing it. Draft well for this year and the future. As they did last year.

 

[Diehardblues]

Not in this case. No one understands nor likes what the FO is doing. It’s just that decent folks don’t come here a ***** about it 24x7x365.

In other words you don’t like fans who offer their concerns because it’s not how you would present your concerns over not liking what the FO is doing?

In the NFL, waiting to sign players you know you will eventually sign to a new contract is crazy. Prices for players you want (and other teams would want too) will not go down unless an unforeseen major injury or serious crime occurs. Waiting is expensive. Time is literally money.

Heres my big point: Every good front office should have a plan in advance of every season, knowing exactly which players are in their plans and which ones are not. Jerry is famous for saying he’s “comfortable with ambiguity“, which is great for an entrepreneurial business, but bad for running a pro football team.
Does the Jones front office even know what they want? This idea of “waiting to see what happens” before deciding whether or not to sign guys for the future is bad planning. As the old saying goes, “Those who fail to plan are planning to fail.”

Here‘s some examples of planning and decisions this FO should have made by now:

• Do you want Cedee Lamb to be a Cowboy in the next 4-5 years? If the answer is yes, sign him now. If not trade him. We know exactly what his market value is. He will get either exactly what Jefferson got or more. NOT LESS. It’s not complicated. Stephen Jones will not win some negotiation war in this. Period. Want Lamb or not?
• Is Dak in this team’s future plans or not? If not trade him. (Yes I know the no trade clause is there but if Dak knows he’s not in their future he WILL accept a trade and make a ton of money elsewhere) This team has 8 years of evidence of what Dak is and isn’t. Make a freaking decision. If he is in the team’s plans, extending him actually gives them cap maneuverability. If he’s not in their plans, move on and start planning for the next franchise QB. Truth is they don’t know how to do this.
• You want Parsons in the future? He would be a lot cheaper to extend now than in a year or two.

What the Jones boys are doing this off-season is just stupid. You either have a clear plan or not. If these guys knew what they were doing, we would have had a very different off-season.

I’d say the plan has been all about public perception.

Jethro didn’t want to pull the triggers too soon after the playoff debacle.

The longer he waits the more it looks like he tried to be tough but ultimately had no choice if we wanted to resign them.

this front-office always seems to be playing catch-up.
much like our team in a play-off game.

Or maybe a giant lawsuit.

We all know this will get appealed and it will get tied up in court for some time. We also know the the $ amount could be X3.

So will this impact the salary cap while this plays out in court? Will it be ignored until the final decision is made?

I’m sorry, but how many Super Bowl trophies have you won? Jerry singlehandedly built a dynasty in spite of Jimmy Johnson. Jerry is a HOF GM so pls show a little more respect to the fuhrer. You will see that Jerry the GM is an elite GM but he’s just had a few bad breaks in the playoffs.

But Jerry knows how to deal with lawsuits so it’s really no concern.

What team currently has $60M in cap space to trade for Dak???

 

[Cowboys5217]

Jerry is completely indecisive and that is proof he’s not capable.

Remember how he handled letting Garrett go? He procrastinated that and had Garrett hanging around for several days when Jerry should have manned up and told him he was fired as soon as the previous season was over.

 

[Cowboys5217]

Agreed. It’s like the Beverly Hills homeless guy telling the guy who lives in a $15m house what he’s doing wrong. Total nonsense…

Do you need to be Gordon Ramsey to know if your food tastes bad?

 

[Chasing6]

Remember how he handled letting Garrett go? He procrastinated that and had Garrett hanging around for several days when Jerry should have manned up and told him he was fired as soon as the previous season was over.

It has become pretty obvious that Jerry and Stephen are not on the same page.

 

[ArtClink]

They have a clear plan. The fans just don’t like it.

I’m sure it’s a fine plan and I might really like the plan. However, I‘m just a tad concerned this FO has produced nearly one divisional round playoff game in almost three decades, but I’m probably just over reacting. Thanks for your insight and it’s refreshing to see your occasional reply to BobHaze post.

Not planning to have a plan, is still a plan.

 

[Chasing6]

This organization is run by Jerry Jones’ ego, which right now is bruised because he probably feels as if he hasn’t gotten enough return on rewarding players so he isn’t currently up for extensions. No argument from the kid in that regard. He would rather keep the signing bonus money longer and count the interest.

If the plan is to not sign these guys, then fine, but they should be traded if that’s the case (with Parsons and Lamb anyway).

What’s really going on? They have no idea WHAT to do, so they do nothing.

Deciding to do nothing is a decision.

 

[Chasing6]

They have a clear plan. The fans just don’t like it.

All-In plan.

Holistically of course.

 

[Chasing6]

....maybe they are tired of paying people and not winning anything..lol. This scenario has been the norm for years in Dallas.

Pay players big money, and still the drought continues. ......just saying..

Apparently not tired enough to recognize the real problem and get a real GM with authority to make decisions.

Don’t try and put words in my mouth just so you feel better about yourself As I’ve never said that. I don’t like fans who come here daily and spew their hate. 24x7x365. GOT IT? It’s not that hard to understand and I’ve stated it here a billion times.

 

[Creeper]

A good front office should have a plan going out 3 years with contingencies for unexpected events.

 

[Diehardblues]

But it’s ok for Homers to drool over a FO they don’t like ?
