Jerry Jones: Cowboys won’t initiate trade talks to improve roster before deadline

[starfan1]

Damn.... Washington got rid of their Dan Snyder disease. Can't wait to get rid of ours.

Atleast he's extremely old....

unfortunately the reward for getting ridding of Jerry is Stephen the buffoon

Edit, also:

As I have said hundreds of times before on this message board. Jerry DOES NOT care about winning a SB.
He just wants the team to be relevant. That is it. He has never tried to go and win a Super Bowl. The last time he did that was 1995 when he signed Deion Sanders.
We have had some good teams over the years, 2007, 2009, 2014 ( Romo era)
2016, 2018, 2021 & 2022
We are always a player short or outcoached. We have had one good coach since Jimmy left... Bill Parcells.

Prove me wrong, watch what he does not what he says. This current era of the NFL is to go all out and try to win when the opportunity presents itself.
Players have been cut, or traded over the past several years. Goff, Wentz, Ramsey & Von Miller in season trades to Rams.
Eagles trade for AJ Brown for a first round pick.

Yep. Good front offices improve their teams. But our front office is also the ownership, so they have much more on their plate that is more important. Also got to schedule all the year around events at the stadium. Making money is obviously the most important thing for owners. So they will focus on that more than measly front office moves.

I'm just not sure why we went out and made that big move in 2018 to get Cooper while we had a losing record and looked dead vs trying to strengthen a 4-2 team who is still very much alive. To at the very least, keep pace with what the Eagles and Niners have did. And after we saw how weak we looked against SF, we need to beef up this team.

And don't tell me the draft picks are too valuable to lose, you can get really good players for mid round picks, something this team isn't good at anyways.

Only the 1st round pick is hard to lose because we hit big most years. We should be looking to move a 2nd, 3rd, or 4th round picks for some good 1 year rentals or a 2 year stop gaps. get your use out of them then flip them for a comp pick. I love the draft but we dont need 10+ draft picks every year. We hit on alot of UDFAs anyways. I can understand not wanting to give free agents huge money but we should be taking advantage of multiple trades every season if we twiddle our thumbs during free agency. I liked the Gilmore and Cooks trades. We should be doing the same level of trades every season at trade deadline.

"My team's not good enough,
and this is crazy,
but I wont initiate trade talks, so call me, maybe"

I agree with your assessment. Which then begs the question- Why is Jerry even talking at all? What is the purpose? How does it help this team for him to be talking in any capacity?

That’s an entirely different and valid question, one which I’d agree with although I’d be likely in the minority that feels what he says has no baring on trade talks etc. I do believe there’s some substance and valid points to question as you did in another post if it sets a bad culture.

Not a Jerry or Stephen advocate but they know more about football than 80% of the people here

No, they do not. Neither Jerry nor Stephen had any qualifications for the job that was better than the typical fan out of the stands. The failure of the team since Jerry ran Jimmy is all the proof in the world of that.

I could buy one of Gordon Ramsey's restaurants and name myself Chef. It does not mean that I am more qualified than some guy off the street who didn't have the cash to buy the place.

Man, anyone who claims they know more about football than anyone is simply a master at ignoring facts and data.

We may have the worst FO in the league.

We do, Jerry and Stephen currently hold the NFL records for the longest tenure at their respective jobs without at least a conference title game appearance and that record is getting longer each year.

We have the worst front office of all time because it never produces results and cannot be fired.

This is the difference between a good negotiator and a great one. A good negotiator lets the other side initiate so that they have leverage as they came to you. A great negotiator knows how to go to someone with an offer and still be able to leverage value by pitting multiple teams against each other.

Imagine having Jerry Jones for an owner and bragging about how your team is 4-2 when he says he's not going to making any phone calls at the trade deadline to help the team. The only team that shouldn't be making any phone calls are the Chiefs. We haven't won anything nor are we a team who is set at every position. You should want your team to improve instead some of you act dumb.

 

[tm1119]

Recognizing you’re not the best team in the conference while also saying you have no real interest in improving the team….that about sums up the last 25 years of the Dallas Cowboys.

I think he's got dementia. It doesn't help your team at all to say that you refuse to make any phone calls to other teams. It comes across as arrogant.

Honestly it's like they're the Athletic Directors at some big college and all they really care about is a winning record and a decent bowl game. Part of me applauds the approach of maintaining a decent squad and waiting for the stars to align for a championship quality QB, but if you're not maintaining a playoff quality OL/DL and you're not actively searching for that championship level QB then there's really no point to it all.

The Dallas Cowboys: Commitment to Relevance

 

[kskboys]

He is on the 53 man roster but has mostly been inactive. He's still a rookie and playing CB in the NFL is not easy so I will give him a pass for now. Also, the draft pick compensation really wasn't that bad. We basically got pick # 178 (1st pick in 6th round) in 2023 for pick #153 - 166 in 2024. Pick in 2024 is not determined yet because we don't know where we will be drafting in the 5th round. I am assuming we make the playoffs and the pick is between 153 and 166.

Dude lacks the agility to mirror receivers. His upside is a STer.

And the real gaffe: We fell for his UTube video. To repeat, we drafted him based on a UTube video he sent us. Ick.

Some NFL owners may not be imagining it if Jones has already been calling and bragging to them about that exact thing.

What? Man, how in the world do you ignore such a huge pile of data and info to state that? There are at least 20 posters on this site alone who know more than Jerry.

 

[IceStar-D7]

I literally hate Jerry Jones as a GM. On 105. the fan running his friggin mouth. It should be a sign above his door in bold letters" do your f'in Job,Jerry"!!!!! When we need him to do something he's MIA. Talk about any player we've ever had. The one constant is Jerry Jones as a GM!! He's playing his cash resister as Dallas burns again. Just wish the fanbase would CUT off his gravy money train. This guy is the WORST GM in any sport. What GM still has a job after 28 years with no Championship? Only BoZo Jones!!! Philly still making moves- while BoZo drives around in his clown cars.

 

[KingintheNorth]

The reputation is that Jerry is deperate in trades and Stephen is stingy.

Teams know Jerry is almost always too desperate and will give more than he needs to (see Amari Cooper and Trey Lance).

Maybe this is a poor attempt to make teams call him and thus, he does not appear desperate to get the deal done.
