I don't like free agency. I don't want to high price leftover play someone else doesn't want for that exact reason. I believe in football players not primadonnas. Give me a team of solid football players great coaching, teach them to play as one. Unstoppable. Culture of the locker room camaraderie is so important today. So again give me a bunch of solid football playersas some are suggesting, it's back to 8-8. That is what this formula gets you. Paying a few stars a ton of money always leads back to mediocrity. Especially if they're mostly on one side of the ball.
I don't mind the players making the money, but 50 million bucks is being sneezed at and called "disrespecting". One of the stupidest things I've ever heard.I don't like free agency.

Pay them and it's one and done.Don't pay them and its 4-12.

Perpetual rebuild is bad. Eventually, you have to actually...try to win.4-12 gets you players like Zeke. IT's ok to be bad.
Being mediocre is what is bad.
Can you imagine if Dallas paid top five money to 6 players just on offense alone?as some are suggesting, it's back to 8-8. That is what this formula gets you. Paying a few stars a ton of money always leads back to mediocrity. Especially if they're mostly on one side of the ball.
Baseball and basketball are worse.I don't mind the players making the money, but 50 million bucks is being sneezed at and called "disrespecting". One of the stupidest things I've ever heard.
I used to think I'd always be a football fan, but I'm starting to wonder.

Not to mention Lawrence, and with Vander Esch, Jaylon, and Jones, too?
Meanwhile, New England doesn't pay top five money to anyone on their team.
Years when you had a healthy, longterm QB and a top 5 NFL run game:
2009
2014
2016
2017
2018
Winning record every year, playoffs 4 out of 5 years, all 3 playoff wins in this group. If you paid everyone, it would not be like the 8-8 years.
Remember when they chose not to make Stephon Gilmore the second-highest paid CB in the league?Meanwhile, New England doesn't pay top five money to anyone on their team.
They could care less about the window, they care about getting theirs and that's all they care about. The rest of that BS is just fluff for the fans.New England is a different bird with Brady's willingness to take less money throughout the years. It 1) allows more money to be spent on other players, and 2) sets the tone for the team. And players know they have a shot at getting a ring with New England.
Zeke, Cooper, and Dak need to get together and decide if they'd rather have max money and be on a team that likely won't be able to afford keeping a strong supporting cast together OR 2) take less and have a longer window.
