Full Jerry Combine interview

Is it just me...or does Jerry come off like "what we are willing to pay him via the tag is a risk that only the Cowboys will take"?

If Pickens hit the market tomorrow...several teams would pay him 30m+. So surely Pickens should appreciate what he's building in Dallas...but he is getting paid with or without the Cowboys
 
Eh I was already label a Rockport Certified Hater when I wouldn't watch the Ezekiel Elliott shirtless content he liked to post

Borrowing from the future? Dak should never take another snap for the Cowboys if we don't play in the NFC title game or Super Bowl in the next 2 years. And that's not to say Dak is the problem...but if we don't go further than we have in the last 30 years Dak is not the solution and Daks salary needs to come off the books. And that will take care of "future" cap space.
 
If you put the YouTube URL into Gemini and ask for a concise summary of what he said, it can give it to you. Not sure how accurate or complete it is though because I haven't played the video. An hour-long sales pitch is too much for me.

I would include what it gave but I don't want to break the AI -posting rule.
 
Here’s some of his meandering, non answers, unintended admissions of his intentions and general “business as usual” comments.

George - He really likes George and while he understands that everyone wants to know about negotiations, that he hasn’t even met with the agent and that he will be with the team whether there’s a contract or he is on the tag and now he’s in the tag.

Agents - Jerry has still never spoken with Mulagheta and still believes that agents are not the primary involved but he understands players may prefer to work through their agent

High Profile Drama - usually drama happens when there’s a bigger impact player. I don’t reallly know how to donut any other way than to have drama when it comes to negotiations. While we may lead the league in terms of perception when it comes to drama but other teams have that too. It’s not a concern of mine at all.

The “frailities” of the way I express myself to you guys may make for good reading !but I want the relationship with George Pickens to be all honey.

Micah - The amount we got for him just made it impossible to turn it down.

“Breaking the Bank” -
I can see us be aggressive in free agency. The “frailities” of the way I express myself to you guys may make for good reading but I want the relationship with George Pickens to be all honey.

“To speculate, I would think we spend more money in free agency than last year”

(He was pressed and asked if bust the budget is the same as “being aggressive”)

“What you’re asking to do is to go borrow some of my future and to expect me to borrow my future.”
 
I watched this earlier and was disappointed. Dumb of me I know to expect even a slight difference from every other year but I have a little bit of off season hopium like most fans and it kinda bummed me out to see that “all in” and “bust the budget” are just nonsense phrases again.

He has not changed. His strategy has not changed. His willingness to do anything to win has not changed (for the better).

We’re going to jsut have to win in spite of his cheapskate approach to free agents once again.

Last year we spent $54m in free agency total contract value. It was almost a the bottom of the league. Jerry said he “speculated and expects” we will probably spend more than that this year

If that doesn’t fire me up as a fan, I don’t know what possibly could.

When they tell you who they are, you best believe them.

But with Jerry you have to sift through his words because he’ll tell three lies to one truth in the same breath so you have to pay attention and not just swallow the nonsense because its what you want to hear.
