FEATURED Free agency thread *** Signings require link/media ***

[JohnsKey19]

We aren’t gonna do jack squat at these stupid prices. I hope the NFL owners all go bankrupt paying these clowns this kind of $$.

Why are the players "clowns" for accepting contracts the market is willing to pay? Nobody is going bankrupt. Everyone is getting paid an insane amount because of all the money the sport generates. Everyone eats, owners and players included.

Wait, is this Free Agency day?

 

[chicago JK]

I mean this Cowboy team is not a good team. Maybe they sign someone soon. It just reaks of entitlement if they don't atleast sign one outside free agent early. They have plenty of holes. After the fan base is as out as they have been in over 20 years, you would think they would feel pressure to throw a bone. Although, then you realize that their jobs are not in jeopardy at all, so why bother. A percentage of the fan base will still cheer Jerry and Stephen at training camp.

Yes it hurts but it's not we will be starting next year with only one CB on the roster.

I don't know the plan. Call Jerry.

Exactly. It looks bad now but the Cowboys do expect Trevon Diggs to be ready for week one. They can sign a veteran nickel back to go with Diggs and Bland and there is still time for Caelon Carson to be something. He had a bad shoulder as a rookie and I think that hurt his development.

Counting on injured players to return to 100 percent immediately.

The Cowboy way.

 

[shabazz]

You'll be eating crow when the top two tiers of players are gone and the injured and older players are available

The Cowboy way.

I'm trying so hard to look on the bright side. It's tough because we're not delusional like the Jones Boys.

 

[Blue&Silver]

Eagles backups are flying off the board.

Some of the fans here are just as delusional.

 

[McKDaddy]

I doubt they even slept last night. Grinding on improving this roster.

Grinding on something ... not sure it was the roster.

 

[deerhunter11]

The Jones boys probably don’t even know about the time change let’s be honest…..

You mean Dolittle and Do even less .

 

[fivetwos]

Counting on injured players to return to 100 percent immediately.

The Cowboy way.

…and mid round picks to be future studs.

Why mess with what works?

Then Jerry says he is “shocked” that we aren’t in the Super Bowl.

Absurd, and getting worse. Can’t until full humiliation kicks in.

Jerry and Stephen - "The phone hasn't rung! You expect US to call somebody???"

 

[John813]

Jerry and Stephen - "The phone hasn't rung! You expect US to call somebody???"

That phone bill ain't cheap when you're in international waters.

That factors into the pie as well.

 

[fivetwos]

Jerry and Stephen - "The phone hasn't rung! You expect US to call somebody???"

Hysterical.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

Look at it this way, we can get a 4th round comp pick for Lewis in 2026 that we can trade away for another Trey Lance or Jonathan Mingo.

People miss the days when football spend their retirement years destitute, physically broken and forgotten

 

[XXLMike]

Teams build through the draft and fill voids through free agency. But Jerry Jones already said he's not looking at free agency to fill voids.

So we get more of the same product of the past three decades.

That’s not true - the Eagles first Super Bowl was a free agency victory.

It set set for a new path for NFLGM’

You guys, the market is down and Jerry has lost over a billion dollars in liquidity over the past few days.

It’s no time to be signing football players.
