Jerry: "I'm Not Looking at Free Agency to Fill Voids"

[CWR]

Selectively aggressive.........right?

It's not encouraging, but this is also the same idiot who said "all in."

I'll wait and see what happens before tuning out.

 

[Carson]

What else is free agency for?

Hey now only 1 team builds solely through the draft!!

 

[CATCH17]

God he hasn't learned his lesson.

By far the dumbest thing I ever heard. I hope he is talking about not filling holes and finding BPA.

I doubt it though.

He hired Brian Schottenheimer and you guys thought he was doing things different? Lol

 

[Scottishcowboy]

Every day is a school day for me, even at my age. I was absolutely certain FA was for 1 thing and 1 thing only but Jerry just taught me I've been wrong all these years.

So glad I have him in my life to keep me right.

 

[dacopacabana]

So the same game-plan as last summer. We all know how well that worked out for us..

Bro looks haggard.

 

[Redsfan_83]

So morons like Fish wet themselves thinking freeing up money will lead to building a contender, when we all know it's only being done to pay our existing guys. Nothing to see here, except more years of failure

 

[dacopacabana]

The only holes Jerry is looking to fill is the glory one

 

[TheSport78]

I feel like Dallas likes mainly building through the draft because the incoming prospects are generally young, unaware players that still might be captivated with the “Cowboy brand.” Veterans don't give a lick about that stuff.

That’s not true. Look at tank Lawrence

They just go to the highest bidder which is never us

 

[Montanalo]

It’s an embarrassment to all of us, that every time he opens his mouth he’s telling everyone ‘I’m an idiot’.

And there’s not much we can do about it other than wait out this mummy.

He's signaling that he will continue doing what he was doing without any significant change

 

[Flamma]

Ah, there's that Jerry we all know.....he really makes it hard for his apologists to keep defending him.

It was only a matter of time for this geriatric leopard to show his liver spots again......

We both know how he operates, right? One thing has given me pause. Why do we need 56m in cap space? Why did he just open up all of that space? I won't believe he's going off script until I see it. But this has me curious.

 

[ChuckA1]

No one told Jerry that FA is exactly how you fill voids. You likely fill a couple in the draft but the rest you can’t know who’s gonna be availible when you pick

It was Jimmy Johnson

 

[Whiskey Cowboy]

The old fool has it backwards. Use free agency to fill gaps right now. Use the draft to bring in the best available players and build for the future. After 36 years as the owner/GM, how does he not understand this?

I swear they use to say FA was to fill the gaps so that they can go BPA on the draft...

 

[fivetwos]

They did. They also said it’s what’s needed when you miss on a high draft pick.

Then something happened. I’m not sure what but it coincides with when Stephen seemed to gain more say.

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

I read the entire thread looking for someone that was talking about what the conversation actually was.

His saying that he is 'not filling voids' does not say what he is going to do.

One possibility of course is Parsons
Maybe Bland.
Tyler Smith has two years to go; maybe him as well.
Lock all three of them up and he can boast of how he has strengthened the foundation of a real SB contender

I guess it depends on what Jethro defines as 'voids'

Bland and Tyler Smith would hit the cap to the tune of 5-7m each more than they are making otherwise. However, a Parsons signing has the opposite effect and would nearly cancel the other two out. Extending him would open up between 10-14m.

I'm only curious when I don't know how something will end.....surprise us Jerry
