How can the front office go all in for 2022?

[Floatyworm]

To me, “Going all in” requires getting rid of a bunch veterans that have talent but do not help us become a better built team to win playoff games. They’ve been here for years and we haven’t done squat. And btw…replacing a RB or WR in this league is not that difficult. Good teams do it all the time. With mid-level draft picks to boot.

People like Zeke, DLaw, Amari Cooper, Randy Gregory…to name a few need to be gone. Hey we won 9 games this year without DLaw. Amari Cooper averaged about 45 yards per game after mid- season. Zeke? Even before he was injured is not the guy Jerry drafted with the 4th pick in 2016. RG has NEVER played more than 12 games in a season. And we want to “run it back” with these guys again? Makes zero sense to me.

This team needs a financial and cultural haircut. We need some new blood. If you love all the aforementioned guys I say we need to cut…don’t worry. Jerry won’t do it. Because he’s a fantasy football GM, not a real GM.

I wonder if the Bengals would trade their 1st rounder for Tyron? Especially if the Bengals get beat tomorrow....and Burrow gets roughed up again.

I believe if Dallas wants to go all in next year, they have to do everything they can to the cap in order to accomplish 3 things to the roster:

1)Bring back key players
Players like Gregory, Schultz, Kearse and obviously Bryan Anger-the best punter to ever play the game. They could probably afford to lose 1 of those 3 (either Gregory or Schultz) but losing 2 or those 3 will just mean they have to fill holes in the draft or free agency. Filling holes makes it difficult to improve the roster.

2)Keep big name players like Lawrence and Cooper
Yeah they maybe on the decline but it's not easy to replace players like that in a single offseason. That would mean Dallas would have to target a WR and edge rusher in rounds 1-3 to just replace players. And who knows if those rookies will be reliable and and able to contribute right away.

3)Draft best player available rounds 1, 2, 3
Select players that are on top of your board. Keeping all the talent they can would give them that draft flexibility.

4)Sign 2 key free agents
Again, stretch the cap as far as they can and get 2 to 3 new starters. A reliable Guard, and solid LB or 2 since that is where the roster is thin at.

The front office needs to take a shot.

If they fail, oh well. At least they tried. And besides, 2023 is most likely going to be a rebuild year regardless of the 2022 season.

Go big or go home

Cannot do both 1 and 4.

Trade Cooper, let Gallup walk, enter the Davante Adams bidding war

Adams-Wilson-Lamb would be absolutely insane

You think someone would take on Cooper's insane contract? Why?

 

[kskboys]

I don't imagine that there is enough cap room to do everything you proposed. Lets first talk about how to bring "everyone" back. Assuming you restructure Cooper and Law to go along with the restructure for Dak gets you to around 16m in cap space plus the needed cuts gets you to around 30 million. Now you need 5 million for draft picks so lets 25 million to go around. If you sign Schultz that east up half of that. If you sign Kearse that eats up another 5m. It is hard to gauge what the cost of Anger and a new kicker will be so lets assume 5m for the set (which is probably low) and move on from that. I have now used up almost all of the cap space available and somehow there needs to be enough to sign a G, which is probably between 7-9m cap hit depending on how you structure it (likely 8-10 AAV for a solid starter far more if you want the one elite one who might hit FA). You can maybe squeeze a good LB in at a 5m cap hit (7-9m AAV) but again where is the room for this?

Basically there just is not room to resign players AND load up.

Correct. There is not.

 

[kskboys]

We will never go "all in" imo. Seems they are content with being mildly competitive every season.

Oh, we do nothing but go all in. However, going all in would require a football guy in charge to know what going all in consists of. Jerry truly does not comprehend the difference between being mildly competitive and being a super bowl contender. He really doesn't have any idea.

We don't have the cap space to do all that you suggest I believe.

Not one team in this league would give a first round pick for Tyron Smith. None. May not even get a 4th for him.

Sign me up !
But like Bob said , aint happening.

W/ his salary, you'd have to give up a pick for someone to take him.

I'd add Tyron Smith to that list, Love the guy, but he is just too old and injury prone. I'm not sure Cooper's production can be laid at his feet, I think Dak dropped off, so I'd like to keep Cooper another year at least if the money can be manipulated a bit. Get rid of LVE too, he is not what he once was. We need young O-line and D-line guys with energy and fire like Parsons has.

 

[J12B]

He's probably talking about 1st year cap hits.

Exactly.

1st year cap hits are usually half of the plays Yearly Average Salary.

 

[kskboys]

And actually, we are all in.

 

[DandyDon52]

I think Brady would laugh, like uncontrollable laughing until Jerry just left the room.

Edit: but as I think about it....the look TB12 would give KM from the huddle on some play calls would be priceless.

how about letting tom call the plays??
I think guys like tom, rodgers and some others should call their own plays.
This whole OC is the play caller thing is ridiculous, when you have a smart experienced qb.

 

[DandyDon52]

Jerry is like jim carrey in that movie ( so there is a chance!!) where the slightest chance, makes him think it will happen or he can make it happen.
So most years he thinks it is a SB year.

That means he is not inclined to go all in as he thinks team is already good enough to get to and win a SB.

I bet after the phil game he was thinking SB here we come!

 

[Aerolithe_Lion]

You could cover some of it. There are a few teams that have absurd cap space. Jacksonville likely wants to build and offense for Trevor

 

[plasticman]

Have Jerry committed.to a retirement home for dementia. With enough collaboration, I think they can swing it..

 

[CowboyFrog]

I'm down, I just dont get why the OC struggled for 6 to 7 games and the SB winning HC offensive genius didnt even call plays...we have seen this before and its a "Look at what I found" moment going on with our owner again. And no I dont think TB12 or Rodgers looks at this situation and says "That looks like the job for me" but hey if they would lets do it.

 

[CouchCoach]

If you wanted them to go all in for 2022, that should have started in 2019.

The problem with these people is it is a year to year proposition and they still do not have a clue how to build a team for on the field success. They've got the ratings and revenue down but lack the blueprint for on the field.

exactly and the year to year is here because our GM has not timeline to win...other GM's have to win in a given amount of time...ours is on year 26.
