Here's an idea for Stephen Jones

[RustyBourneHorse]

Let's be active in FA instead of sitting on our hands. You know, sign players to fill voids that are clearly needed. Not just say that we like our guys. Seems to work for other teams.

But salary cap limitations “are very real” according to dumpster diver Stephen! He said it, so it must be true, right? Right?!

Teams can manipulate the cap a million different ways to make it work. The trick is, they have to WANT TO.

Jerry and Stephen are elite marketers. They can sell an entire fan base on how much they want to win, but we know that’s not true.

He would never go for it, cuts into his allowance

He cant, As an astute talent evaluator he paid for filet mignon and ended up with a platter of cheese burgers.

I think our approach is sound but taking a shot or two on players that fill needs.... let's give that a shot too.

That's the issue. They used to go all in on FA and neglect the draft and it didn't work. Now they go in the completely opposite direction and go all in the draft and neglect FA and that doesn't work. They just don't seem to understand that you need a mixture of both. It's crazy to me that they can't see it.

Stephen Jones is never going to win a Super Bowl for the Dallas Cowboys.

Sorry to be Debbie Downer, but let's just stop the charade. I'm too old for it.

The only reason Stephen Jones has an NFL front office gig is because his dad owns the team. He's had a quarter century to prove himself, and he's won nothing.

Cowboys can be aggressive if they move money around or move on from players. The problem is rarely do these free agent signings live up to expectations. However, my hope is Jerry sees how this Ram team was built and takes some chances on filling some holes with some proven players even if it means throwing some draft capital at it.

I don't know. Those older players always seem to get hurt! Then ride the bench!

You have hope in Jerry? I'm amazed anyone can think this 80 year old fool - and his poster child of nepotism son - can win a Super Bowl. How many decades does it take?

It hasn't happened. It's not going to happen.

Stephen is tighter than a frog's butt****. He would rather sign someone cheap. Than waste good money for a FA that can help this team. One FA I wish that we signed was Hardgrave when the Pittsburg didn't want him. he was signed for cheap also. Stephen is going to be worst than his dad because he would do nothing but bargain basement shopping. Jerry and Stephen just needs to go away. They both suck.

 

[NoFurtherQuestions]

The minimum you have to spend on your roster salaries is $180 million

You can't be too cheap in this league. At least if Stephen completely run the team we could have some cap money to spend on FA's every once in a while.

Hey Furster!
Stephen does not believe in spending money.
We dumpster dive for free agents.
Our cap situation is not great due to bad contracts to our own players.

Stephen just said the cap is a real thing. So don't expect too much from him.

Which is bad cuz even the Bengals spent on FAs, and they've been cheaper than Stephen up till this year.

That's really all I'm asking. Take a couple chances. We draft well, which is good. It'd be nice to also take one or two chances to fill major voids with major players. I won't be upset if the chances don't work cuz at least the FO will be showing that they are trying to get top talent.

And at least Jerry will take a chance every now and then. Stephen is too scared to have a go at FA.
