I don't think that once a billionaire you allow jersey sales to make personnel decisions for you.
1 Jersey probably nets the same revenue for the owner as selling an extra pretzel in the stadium.

Ya that makes sense. Ill give you an example. In soccer, for example, Cristiano Ronaldo's jersey sales, have paid for his first and second year salary. Still think jerseys are lowly and dont matter?

They're not trying to get out of Carr's contract. They're renegotiating a lower salary like they did with Doug Free. And they can restructure Tyron again if they want to.

The point is, whatever they need, they can get. "Salary cap hell" is a myth for all teams.

Renegotiating a lower salary = getting out of the current contract. That will take time, the way it did with Doug Free. They're not going to get money to sign a free agent this week from that. Restructuring Tyron again is barely going to net you anything worth mentioning. If the cap didn't matter, it wouldn't exist.

The worlds sport is going to sell way more stuff than the NFL. Especially Ronaldo's.

It is obvious that we posters in this thread are way too bored for a lack of action by our Cowboys. Our posts have become more and more below average for content. I am bored too.

Thanks for the info on Christiano Ronaldo's jersey sales.
I feel your passion for this Jersey sale business.
I still don't agree with you though. Jerry isn't concerned with paying a players salary with Jersey sales. His business went from 200 million in 1989 to 4 billion in 2015. He has more than enough to cover it. I believe he has many well paid smart people on staff that make decisions based on improving his football team. I don't know that they are all that concerned with acquiring a player because he may sell more Jerseys. When you team is good people will buy your jerseys either way. They will find a player they like and buy the shirt. If they want a cowboys jersey and AP or Demarco isn't on the team then maybe Dez will sell more jerseys this season.

I don't know. I don't feel like even continuing this discussion at this point.
We just lost our workhorse back who have our offense its identity last year and you want to debate the jersey sales of soccer players I wouldn't know if I ran over with my car.

I don't know if anything big will happen but I'm curious about this...

Despite what we've lost to FA so far would most people be alright with it if Dallas winds up with Hardy and AP?

I'm just curious as to what the majority of people would think about FA this year if that's what Dallas did.

Resigned a few of their own, as they have with Free and Beasely, like getting Ro resigned, bring in Hardy and AP.

Hardy, next week, at a next-week rate that reflects his potential suspension status would make me very happy.

As would have AD, last week, before people started paying too much for RBs. I'd want him at ~$7M/year for a three-year-tops deal....not going to happen. More than that is too much and would frustrate me.

So, give me Hardy, a DT or LB in the first round, and a RB from the 2nd to 4th rounds in the draft, and I'll be pretty happy. Throw a starting-caliber CB in there if we don't get the Carr deal done, though I think that's almost a gimme at this point. And use the rest of the picks to address swing OT and defense. Including CFA. Crap...and upgrade QB2. The list is getting longer than I'd have liked.

We can roll into next year, though, with a very solid young team and the cap in great shape if things break right. Not getting Hardy, though, or a comparable replacement, would hurt.

Fair enough. It was just an analogy. Obviously the wrong one. At the end of the day. Something needs to happen. We have no linebackers no rb and our DL is now thinner.

Count me in. We need impact players.

AP at the right price. If he really wants to be a Cowboy he now knows that boys have a line they won't cross.

In other words no Murray like guarantee and probably a 3 yr deal tops
