When players see how Jerry Jones treats a player that performed well for him “who the heck is gonna want” to sign with the Dallas Cowboys? Did you ever consider the reason the Cowboys don’t participate in the free agent market anymore than they do is because their agents are advising their clients not to go there?
Good point. It certainly isn’t where the money is, and agents probably shake their head when they hang up the phone with the arrogant entitled kid, if they ever get a call at all. Remember, they expect people to call THEM. Ok.
I mean, having a general philosophy of building primarily through the draft is one thing…it’s actually solid business if you can pull it off….but it’ll never add up to enough to get over the top, and not signing a major free agent in FOURTEEN years is shooting yourself in the foot from a roster building standpoint. That’s been proven.
They contend in a bad division and tell themselves they are close to a championship. I don’t even think it’s a sell job, they just don’t know the difference. Same way they think so highly of themselves as GMs and are dead wrong.
Having all the money you’d ever need and surrounding yourself with people that tell you how great you are might tend to affect things. So, here we are. Jones style football circus. There will be no change unless they hit rock bottom, which Romo and Prescott have prevented for nearly 20 years.
