Jerry didn't spend a dime this offseason

[cowboyvic]

Nothing on free-agents. and now he gets his draft picks all in camp for very little money. he spent no money trying to re-up with Miles Austin. he cut his cost at LT and FS.so he has cut his team payroll a lot this offseason. now we all have to sit back and see if it works.

yep, and if we need something later, say a kicker or veteran safety, jerry has the money to still go out and get it;

thats playing it smart, just like in the draft waiting to get dez and lee, wait forr the draft to come to you, dont overjump like jerry did getting roy williams the safety;

wait for things to come to you;

yeah it's not hard to understand why when the possibility of missing the next 2-3 seasons looming.

Miles will likely get a deal done at some point this season.

It does seem to bother you a lot that another man is not losing money from his pocket.

Its tough to buy your way into a Super Bowl. We had a good team last year and hopefully with some better play we can get in the postion to improve.

I think the core group is solid, no egos or players that will be a disruption if balls don't come their way.

Lol. Really? Is that a real possibility, no NFL football for 3 years?

I think the possibility of that is slimmer than the "Dez will be a few weeks late to camp" mediots.

There is not going to be a lockout. There is SOOOOOOOOOO much more $$$ at stake than when the last strike occured. Its just not going to happen.

There will be football next year and the year after that and the year after that.

Jerry knows that. IN FACT, if Jerry was really concerned about a lockout, he would NEVER have built the stadium.

This team improved in the offseason. Not spending $$$ was the best way to accomplish that as it turned out.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Yeah. I can't believe Jerry didn't replace Anthony Henry and Greg Ellis with expensive vets. Those young players will never work.

Jerry cutting costs again... Freaking cheapskate.

 

[big dog cowboy]

dont overjump like jerry did getting roy williams the safety;

FWIW we did trade down before drafting Williams.

Dan Snyder agrees.

 

[Cowboys22]

I see it all as good business. Flozell and Hamlin were not performing up to their contracts and the team felt it had younger options ready to play. I wouldn't call $11.8 million with $8.3 million guaranteed cheap for a rookie WR. I think alot of the cost consciousness comes from the amount of talent on the team and the idea of a future salary cap. I don't see anyway to sign all the good young players that will be needing new contracts over the next three years, especially if they go out and sign big money free agents each offseason. I think this offseason was perfect. Get rid of some expensive dead weight, get some guys back from injury, bring in depth at some needed spots, and have an apparent very good draft. What more could you ask for? I want to see this team build upon last year. No need to upset that with a bunch of new players.

 

[Yeagermeister]

Jerry did spend money on Miles just not long term.

 

[ThreeandOut]

I believe the reason we haven't spent money this year is in anticipation of resigning our players next year. Don't we have twenty plus players next year eligible for some form of free agency? Assuming we return to a capped season next year, we're going to need as much cap space as possible to retain the players we want to keep. The Cowboys priority in free is more about retaining our own players than acquiring talent elsewhere.

:laugh2: The NFL owners get paid for the 2011 season football only. I dont think it goes beyond that. BTW you think the networks gonna just fork over billions and get nothing back while sitting idly by? Theyll be pressuring the owners every step of the way to settle.

 

[miamicowboy21]

Ummm.. Let's see the final 8 rule hampered us. Most good free agents were restricted, and the roster was pretty much stacked. Jerry did a great job this offseason. I'm very satisfied with what occured.

 

[Doomsday101]

I'm sure Jerry tipped the waitress more than a dime at the bar. :laugh2:

 

[AbeBeta]

When you trade up in the first round, you are spending more than you would standing pat.

So there is your spending.

Ya know this confused me until I looked at the other 15 posts you have made.

Tony needs to concentrate on football.

Tony Romo needs to get his head out of the Jessica Simpson clouds and start concentrating on football. Enough is enough!

Now we need to release that loser Romo, and Jason Whiten.

Wade should be our defensive coordinator and not the head coach.

Romo is not a championship level quarterback

Romo is not a championship level quarterback

We need to start trading players for picks

Wake up people. Baron coming here is a shot at Mark Columbo.

Bottom line. Jerry not getingt us a proven PK and FS in here is reckless.

Columbo is the one im worried about.

This is not good folks
It's his business, but not good for our team. (miles and Kim)

this is on Jerry. he had a chance to make upgrades. and he did not do it.

Kitna gives me the Brad Johnson feeling who agrees?

Now I understand.

Cowboyvic - you just got owned by Zrinkill.

NO I DID NOT GET OWNED. my opinion is my opinion. what heposted has nothing to do with the fact that Jerry didn't spend a dime this offseason. and we all are going to see if it works. i hope it does. but none of us know.
