Is Dallas still a top destination?

[5Stars]

Is collecting a government check on the couch now considered "work" ?

I need to get one of those jobs

I think he works at the same place TMC does, them checks come free!

Clearly it isn't! Players seemed to love to be mentioned for the Cowboys, now you see how the Cowboys go about spending, and what smart minded agent would tell their players to sign with Dallas??

What does Dallas have to offer these days to get players back to wanting to be here? There's nothing I see at this moment that says HEY I'm a big free agent I want to be here for several years, I know they'll pay what the market dictates, only for this not to happen and said players go the other way!!

It's like beating a dead horse, maybe one day the Jones family will get their mojo back!! Please give your thoughts

I totally agree, the Cowboys as a sports organization don't offer anything that stands out above other NFL teams. No state taxes are the only advantage I see but other states have that too.

 

[Joey9775]

No State taxes in the ONLY reason to come here. Or if you're close to retirement or just hate work and want to bank some vet minimum money before you're out.

 

[Bullflop]

If the Cowboys had a winning team, enticing new players to come to the Cowboys' facility would be easy. As it now stands, the team itself isn't one to attract the best athletes to attend their games.

Perhaps it's not , but their agents will remind their clients that there is NO STATE INCOME TAX IN TEXAS. This is a huge incentive.

“huge incentive”? Seven NFL franchises play in no state income tax states. Four of them are bottom 12 teams. None of them are top twelve teams.

Apparently there is some other incentive luring top players and coaches to NFL teams that is more “huge”.

If the OP is trolling for “likes” it isn’t working very well.

I beg to differ......the brisket ive crushed in Austin is enough reason

 

[ICP]

One of the most popular vacation spots in the NFL

 

[CTcowboy203]

I see people saying no and there’s a disconnect- players want to play for the Dallas cowboys. It is a destination. They do not want to play on a bargain. Until that changes we won’t be players.

If we spent or paid even decently we would hands down and away be a players preferred destination

No player factors in no state income tax in their contracts. If they did every superstar in every sport would sign here.
I live in Texas and insane property taxes cancel out no state income tax.

They do get you one way or the other. I knew that Texas had a higher sales tax but didn't know about the property tax but I imagine that varys wildly from a place like Austin to a place like Lubbock or Amarillo

Top destination? Depends on the player and his circumstance. It could be, or it could not be.

If a player wants a country club environment and a paycheck, then yes…if he wants more than that, then no…

 

[charron]

They don't pay free agents and they don't win in the post season. Players come here if they have no other decent option

 

[Whyjerry]

Absolutely not.

 

[ShortRound]

Great for pay check collectors like DLaw.

NO...Raiders and Cowboys are played out...like Lee Jeans in the late 80s...

 

[erod]

There are no destination teams anymore.

The largest pile of cash wins.

They'd play in Kabul if the money was stacked the highest there.

 

[Chasing6]

Its a good question because there are several legit answers

1. If the money is even and you want a cushy gig but no championship or discipline, this is a great destination

2. If the money is even but you want to go where football is the main thing, you avoid this place like the plague

3. If your a rookie like Shadeur and you want to get a massive 2nd contract, and branding, regardless of results you want to come here . Not to mention a career waiting for you in the boof

Playoffs is overtime without the pay.
