Naw, those other guys set the market.Is it an honest offer?

Was watching NFLN and Jane Slater was reporting on the Cowboys and Earl Thomas. She noted the other recently signed deals (re: safeties) and mentioned Thomas is looking for something similar to Landon Collins (per year annually) but that the Cowboys are “looking for him to come down to the $8-9M range.”
This team is all in.
What does it really matter if you sign him for 10 million or 15 million?
Nothing..
Laughable. But not surprising that our brilliant Mom & Pop operation totally miscalculated the market by about 4 mil per year for a player of Earls caliber.

What a dumb comment. Snapping the fingers Thanos-style kills half of all life, it does not create cap space. You still have the same money to work with and the same slots to fill so killing off half your roster only creates more work if you are SJ. And then there is the problem that creates when the Thanos-style finger snap wears off and those you killed off reappear. Spoiler alert... it's my theory that the Thanos finger snap will somehow be undone in the next Avengers movie.Stephen Jones could snap his fingers Thanos-style and create whatever cap room he wants.
Or so we have been told for years.
But that is not the entire truth. He "could". But he won't.
That skinflint philosophy is engrained in Dallas.
That is the big argument.
Just because both he and his father convinced the dummies in the audience that the snake oil works does not mean that they are doing what they claimed during the pitch.
I don’t buy it. The team was looking to trade a 2nd for him last April, and had the framework for paying him back then. They’re letting him test the market. That makes much more sense and is consistent with how they work.

I saw different reports Earl wants a 2year deal for 30 milWas watching NFLN and Jane Slater was reporting on the Cowboys and Earl Thomas.

I guess the Pats are suckers too, they don't win much do they embracing the pay for what they perceive is true player value, only difference is one FO knows football the other doesn't.What past success is driving this lowball philosophy Stephen has adopted?
Like which players has he convinced to come and play for less for the honor of playing for the Dallas Cowboys?
Want to win? Open up your wallet and pay for talent.
Instead we seem to be running an ideal business model. Maximize revenue (us being suckers), keep costs down.
