Jerry: I like our roster, we couldnt afford Derrick Henry

[Whiskey Cowboy]

Yes we could have. 2 years, $16m for the type of production we saw today is a steal. Maybe not bargain bin, but by NFL standards, that's equivalent to great value Walmart. More excuses....

 

[CTcowboy203]

It’s not likely true.

In fact is a complete and total lie.

Fans need to stop buying this crap.

I’m not sure who you’re talking to? I haven’t bought any of the crap- in fact i posted several times over the offseason that the cowboys could create as much cap as they needed to adequately address team needs…..what is likely true is that Henry likely would have still taken more somewhere else.

So do not lump me in with others, come correct if you’re gonna come at me

 

[Havic]

He turns 82 next month.

Zeke or the owner?

 

[JohnsKey19]

He’s a liar.

The media should call him out for this blatant lie.

He’s a POS.

You’ve got only a few with some balls. The rest are worried about invitations to the next holiday party.

 

[nate dizzle]

Rockport, Rambo, AC, and Nav do…

They are all writing a strongly worded letter as we speak.

 

[Rayman70]

hes a liar

 

[Cowboys5217]

Zeke Elliott wraps up the game with 3 carries 6 yards and were paying him 3mil.

LMAO

He counts twice against the cap. It's brilliant!

 

[atlantacowboy]

I hate him. He destroyed a once historic and proud franchise. The worst thing to happen to this franchise was this ego maniac winning those Superbowls.

edit: the worst thing to happen to this franchise were those super bowls and jerry thinking he had a lot to do with them.

 

[KingintheNorth]

Free Agents are mean.

They don't even try to listen to Stephen's cough, cough, "honest offers" and their agents are all bullies.

Little Stevie Jones is trying his best.

Can I interest you in some 4th and 5th round rookies starting right away?

 

[Blackspider214]

Does anyone believe Jerry anymore?

Anymore infers we once actually believed him. He's our drunk, senile uncle who you don't pay any attention to.

 

[cowboyfan4life2]

What, 2 years 16 million?

Sheesh.

He needed money for the stat padder and some paintings.

 

[vlad]

Imagine if we had a non-access journalists in DFW that actually hammered him with hard questions - but they all want to make sure they get to Nobu in the summer (not that I blame them but I'm not a journalist)

 

[slick325]

So sick of him holding court outside the locker room before the HC gets to talk to the media. Man!

 

[Playmaker3128]

Take the money we have at rb and another restructure somewhere else and we coulda afforded him easily.

He just looks like an idiot so hes blaming it on money

 

[Aerolithe_Lion]

4 best offseason FA acquisitions so far:

1. Derrick Henry
2. Saquon Barkley
3. Josh Jacobs
4. Joe Mixon


premier RBs have become undervalued

 

[slick325]

He definitely could have afforded Henry. Especially if he had stopped trying to play tough guy with Prescott and Lamb knowing he was going to sign them in the first place. The cap room those signings would have created in March would have made the $8M needed for Henry seem like a vet min contract.

 

[CATCH17]

Jerry is punishing his star players by saying these things.

He knows what he’s doing.

Hes told Dak, Lamb, ect that if he gives them big contracts he can’t get the best team around them.

This is just a jab at them.

Problem is he is the dummy who keeps investing in guys who are proven losers.

 

[Sydla]

He’s lying.

 

[cowboyfan4life2]

Imagine if we had a non-access journalists in DFW that actually hammered him with hard questions - but they all want to make sure they get to Nobu in the summer (not that I blame them but I'm not a journalist)

Ed werder was right behind him laughing up Jerry's jokes like a stooge.

 

[Alohawg1]

30 years ago I was proud to say my dad went to high school with Jerry....no more. What a fool.
