After all these years most people still don't understand Jerry Jones.
He's an ego maniac.
1. If Trey Lance looks good, Jerry thinks he looks bad paying Dak 250M. Also If Trey looks good, we can't re-sign him as a backup for a reasonable cost. So Trey will sit until the last game or two, when all the talk is about next year.
2. Jerry & Stephen will be very active in FA in 2025, Jerry was embarrassed this year by the media, 2025 FA will be bigger than most think.
The cap reset is finished and we have 70-100M in cap next year. 30 years later....Jerry will make his final run
