How do you build around 3 players making up 50% of Cap?

[kskboys]

Building a team isn't hard when you stop trying to win a SB.

Or never start!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Flamma]

Bottom line is that the salaries of the players always go up just as the cap does. So when you have three top price players, building a strong overall team is next to impossible

There are teams that do it. You just have to push the money forward. Eventually you have to have a lean year or two. There is no avoiding it.

You need Facts ......

Please check my math but 125 is pretty close to 50% of 255.

 

[freemanjc19]

how do other teams do it? are we the only team with 3,4 stars?

I think you are being a bit over dramatic.

This forum wouldn't be the same without its fair share of crisis management. There is no need to worry about personnel changes—people come and go; it's simply the nature of things.

I don't think so. Who has a 50+ mil QB and two other 30 mil players? KC refused. Eagles? I don't know how much their WRs are making, but I do know they had to release D players to pay them and it cause their downfall.

 

[Diehardblues]

I’m Even if they get the money you showed, it adds up to 49% on average. But it will never even be that high in any given year. Not even close to 50%.

49% is about as close to 50% as you can get. Lol

Did you factor in Cap increases per Season?

Did you factor in Cowboys front office anticipated player salary cuts?

And he maximized it at the expense of the team. The numbers are there, there really isn't a possibility for disagreement. If Dak takes a 5-6 year deal, we wouldn't be faced w/ the team sabotaging 59 mil this season and 40 next season.

Your last paragraph has nothing to do w/ what we are talking about.

It absolutely does. Re-work his deal at market rates and those cap numbers lower.
He wanted extra bites at the apple because of the years he spent being underpaid!!!! As a front office employee....you have to see his strategy and decide if you want to play. If you did not want to play...move off of him. Not cry about how Dak did the team dirty!

Are you kidding me? This is not a daycare...this is a multi-billion dollar business and yours is worth more than anybody elses. I feel no sympathy for billionaires that don't even have to win to make more than anybody else.

And I don't care if he stays or goes...but I don't want to hear about Dak's greed. Someone is going to pay it.

And Jerry did not care about what the other owners thought of him when he was making deals separate from the NFL owners in his early years of owning the team. He had a strategy to maximize the value of his business....and finally instead of complaining about him....the owners finally caught on. And began to mimic his stratagies.

The bottomline is our owner is more concerned about remaining relative , not necessarily winning SB’s and why he’s most likely more worried about looking for another QB than Cap room needed to win a championship.

No, this is only looking at what the hit would be for this seasons Cap.

 

[NoLuv4Jerry]

He has over $100 million in the bank and no matter what he will get at least $150 million guaranteed in his next contract
This bs about he has to get every dollar is such a pathetic joke

The NFL was charging the US gov't to fly military planes over their stadiums before games....at the same time the NFL had a tax exempt status. Now, what were you saying about a pathetic joke?

I don't have to when I don't make assinine statements....50% trope is someone elses baby...own it. I am not doing your homework..
You tell me...

Based on results the last 8 seasons Dallas doesn’t have a playoff caliber QB, how quickly folks forget about 2017 2018 and the QB struggling with wr 2 types this when he had arguably the best RB in the league:

I suppose we can argue whether he’s a playoff caliber QB. That’s a subjective description. Im not saying he’s enough for more success or enough to carry a lesser supporting cast but is enough when he has a better supporting cast to win division and make playoffs.

I’d say that any QB who’s been to the playoffs in 5 of 7 seasons not counting season he missed due to injury most would quantify as playoff caliber. And most teams would make every effort to continue trying to build a better team around them than moving on.

It’s a very short list of teams who have let their Franchise or Playoff ( which doesn’t mean Elite) QB walk in middle of their career simply cause are frustrated without more success in playoffs.

you agree with Gordon Gecko that greed is good then? Because everything you talk about smacks of greed by someone

someone is going to pay it so greed is good

Oh no, not 1 percentage point!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You win, not 50%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yea, it’s incredible the stance some fans take . Lol

OMG it’s only 49 instead of 50%. That totally discredits the argument . Ridiculous

Trying to build a championship team with three players taking that much of the cap is impossible unless you have a genius GM and a HOF coach

 

[gtb1943]

by the way the NFL charging for flyovers is absolute proof that the NFL under Goofsmell has no shame; could not even spell it.

Maybe the priority isn’t winning championships.
