Have you noticed a pattern with Cowboys signing long-term contracts?

Back to back season under Quinn. Then you signed him after his injury riddled 0 pick season where he kept getting beat. And guess which version remains

Smith made as many PB’s as Bland btw. And you signed him right after, before you saw the decline start. That’s what makes it better than Bland’s
Doesn't matter, it's not like they signed him top of market. Teams sign guys coming off injury all the time. The mistake they made was rushing him back in 2025, not the contract.

Jaylon Smith? Are you drunk?

I know that you're A) kind of dumb and B) an Eagles fan, but that's a ridiculous argument.
 
Once all-pro because of a fluke statistic due to a DC who’s no longer there.


What are the odds bland has 9 interceptions of anything close to 5 pick sixes this year? Because you’re saying that’s what you paid him for
He didn't get paid as an All Pro.
 
A recurring theme among the Cowboys players. As soon as they sign a long-term deal they stop playing.
Steele
Ferguson
Prescott
Williams
and the list just keeps getting larger
The 1st 3 played exactly as they did before the contract.

Williams? One game? Jumping the gun.

You guys are making an absolutist argument. Jaylon Smith got signed after a pro bowl season.

Daron Bland got signed after a down year to a contract that made him the 6th highest paid CB in the history of organized football, after you already saw that he was not the same guy with a different DC

There’s a huge difference between the two
 
I guess you missed it and did not understand.
I didn’t understand because you brought the fans into the discussion for no other reason than to minimize the blame that belongs with the FO.

The fans have nothing to do with the FO overpaying mediocre players. Nothing. But you brought them into the discussion anyway.

I would suggest that it is not so much that, after signing a long-term deal, they stop playing. Rather, the player "overplayed" during their contract year and simply returned to the pre-contract performance.
 
So we finally trade for a franchise DT, and after 1 game his contract is bad? Did we not learn our lesson that 1 guy on the DL cannot a successful D make? This thing called coaching up players is also a historic issue with this team of late

Trolling? Thank you Mrs Jones. We should all be greatly thankful for 2 playoff wins in 10 years. My bad!
The why of it is what's being discussed.

We consistently overpay players or pay the wrong players.

When Diggs was picking off 11 passes, he also gave up the most yards of any CB in the NFL. That's just not a guy you pay.

Bland has never been good at coverage. He can jump a route, and that's about it.

Our consistent wheel spinning has absolutely nothing to do w/ players "stopping playing".
 
Not sure if the OP means Quinnen Williams or Javonte Williams.

Wrong in both cases either way. Only "bad" player on that list is Steele. Bland did nothing wrong but get hurt.

I asked and brought up a simple point.
And you know it is tue.
Are not fans bringing up this point about the FO. So therefore fans are involved.

Bland ranked consistently high in coverage before the back to back seasons with foot injuries. Had a 90.9 PFF grade in coverage in 2023 (his last healthy season). His grade was 76.8 in his rookie season.

Long story short: when Bland is healthy he is great.

Williams just paid, this was his first game since extension and he had a solid game. He was in the backfield a few times and if we had an outside rush he probably had a couple sacks as when he did come up the middle Dart kept sliding left or right
 
No. Fans have nothing to do and zero impact on the FO’s contract decisions.
I’m talking about the comments made from fans about their opinions of it.
What is so hard to understand?

The contracts are what they are. ALL teams go through this.
