This article basically summarizes how most of us feel but also provides an outside perspective on what is wrong with the Dallas Cowboys. What pops into my head when I read about Jerry's negotiating tactics is just how detached he is from the world around him. Everyone sees that Jerry is hurting himself by delaying these deals but he does it anyway. It's his money and he can spend it as he pleases but overpaying players hurts the entire team and the fanbase has to suffer the lost seasons. The reality is, his tactics have never worked. He is delusional.

The one thing I disagree with is how long we will continue to deal with this. I think Jerry will be out of the picture in 2 or 3 years. It would be a shame if he continued in his role longer than that, but he is already slipping and father time is undefeated.

Kind of misleading. But we know how this will turn out. Many will respond without reading the article.

Article title is .... The Cowboys Have a Brilliant Scouting Network, But They Also Have Jerry Jones ....

It give props to McClay and the scouting department, and that they do draft well. But lack of FA as we all know is a big issue.
Most of the article seems to go over Micah and his upcoming contract, and how it has been handled and may be handled going forward.

I did not read it word for word, but did get through most of it by skimming past a few things, mostly about Micah, as that has been discussed ad nauseam.
 
What kind of person with that much money actually likes to over spend??? Most people with a lot of money are cheap, maybe in some kind of weird way Jerry gains satisfaction by doing this??? I couldn't think of any other reason why you'd wait to pay and end up paying more money

OK BUY THE TEAM THEN!! If not let it go!!!

Captain obvious posts are just waste of space. NOT JERRY its the Jones family, that wont change ,they are 4 lead balloons tied to this franchise most likely for 10-20 MORE years.. complain and make posts for what?

BTW you just won a prize this will be about 101 posts that have Jerry Jones as the subject line or the main subject probably in the last month, but hey we just needed another one???

even though nothing's changed from yesterday or a month ago or 30 years ago but hey we need to just make a point that Jerry Jones might be holding this team back, but no solution?

So what ?!!! what are you or I or this place going to do?

because if he's gone there's a post about this when Jerry's gone what's going to happen his name is Stephen Jones and he's gone what's going to happen is another Jones they will pass this down for generations probably so buckle up...

Not really.
They may seem cheap to others, and do not go overspend what they worked hard for. Well some work hard for it.
They can still spend, but do not live above their means.
Others spend, spend, spend, and never get to where they want to be because they spend, spend, spend.
This is more team vs personal money with Jerry. He does spend, but not the right way.

And once again, you can't compare what Jerry does with his personal money to that of a NFL roster. ALL teams work with the same budget. Dallas by not managing the cap very well, spend it all every year. What do fans not get about that.
That $20 million they still have. It is not from being cheap. It is pushing the can down the road. Like a credit card, that bill will come due. Like the awful contracts he gives out. They came due, lets restructure. Like they take out a credit card to pay off another card.

Jerry is personal / team rich, but is roster poor owing future money.

Being cheap means not taking a shot at a guy that's has better talent than guys that cost the league minimum (sarcasm), not saying get ALL of them or even more than 1, but make the effort. I know we have other players to play so that's a part of the reason for them to hold on to the money, but imagine how much more they'd have to work with if they didn't want so long

I see you, again, are more concerned with what I post, than giving your opinions.

It's just funny that you're so triggered by negativity that you initiate negativity about the feared negativity and thus contribute to a negative environment from the start. Affirmative? Or negative? Lol.

You read more of it than I,

because I'm not even opening it, you know why because it's been said 100 * before,I don't need to read it to know what it's going to say.. These stories are redundant and unnecessary first of all the contract stuff we talked about it with lamb and Prescott this is not the same I think it's gonna be done before that but it's getting done so why talk about it it doesn't matter right now the Cowboys have more money right now to do something with free agents this contract specifically with Parsons is not him back from making moves. This is not last year's offseason they have done 10 times more this offseason even if it's not the way you like it then they did as far as being active and getting ready for the draft it's been far better night and day than last year.

my thoughts were did we really need another post on Jerry Jones or to complain about free agency, the front office, or anything that we cannot change?​
​
literally ,watch football!!!!!​
​
let's talk football and that's about it, anything else is just complaining and whining of things we cannot change..... So, why do we need hundreds of posts on Jerry Jones in the front office nothing's going to change unless one of you that's $15 billion and the NFL actually puts up a team for sale that you can run for yourself and or Jerry Jones would be willing to sell you the team for that, but right now it's not for sale there's nothing going to change probably the next 10 to 20 years is going to be like this,​
​
so why do we need hundreds of posts saying the same things redundantly daily basis I just really want to understand the mindset of some of these writers content creators or fans in here that need to post every one of these links..​

It's not going to change the Jones family will own this in some capacity passing it down to each other probably in the next 10 to 20 years So what? Maybe if you have enough money to hire a fixer and to set up the Jones family somehow and get them to sell the family I mean maybe you can come up with that kind of money because I know none of you in here even collectively are coming up with $10 billion to buy an NFL franchise that's not even up for sale you're going to lose on both ends so the complaining I hope it makes everyone feel better because it's getting very old to some of us that open this up on a daily basis and there's Jerry Jones or something about the Jones family and just about every single post...

To me it's about football, just like I really don't care anymore about Nico and the Luka trade, it's over, I'm a Mavericks fan I hope Luka sprains an ankle. LMAO I hope he has a bad year, I hope the Lakers fail I'm a Mavericks fan, nothing that the GM or the owner did is going to change the fact that on my Mavericks fan, so no I'm not pulling for Luka to have a big game tonight... I hope he sprains an ankle, that's right, that's what a fan does they just follow the players and coaches he watched the games comment on the games we're have no control.​
​
You think somehow if Jerry Jones made a stupid trade into our division with Parsons during the draft then I'd be so mad at Jerry that I would pull for an NFC East team just because Parsons went there? You think I would buy a Philadelphia Eagles jersey with Michael Parsons name on the back just because he used to be a cowboy no he's no longer a cowboy I'm no longer a fan.​

Which by the way,

the Denver Nuggets: this is what happens when an owner really meddles.... he fired his head coach whose team's in fourth place and they're going to make noise in the playoffs, because he disagreed with the way player rotations were used at the end of a game, and he doesn't get along with the head coach, so he decides with eight games left in the season to fire his head coach and let the GM know he won't have a job next year..

Does that count as lame duck management? you talk about bad ,let's talk about those two owners and GM of these two franchises because if you think ours is bad, that Jerry's the only one that meddles, here's some proof that someone's firing their head coach of a successful team because he didn't like a play call or a rotation of a player..

I thought that was the job of the coaches, and maybe even layered into the GM but this is an owner saying he didn't like the play calls, and he fired him right before the playoffs....

This stuff kind of goes on more than people think because you don't follow every sports franchise in every type of sports arena, and you find out that there are a lot of owners like this out there, it is what it is we have no control of the things that are going on.

I watch for the logo I follow the logo and the players that's it so whatever players are on this team whatever they feel this year is all I'm worried about...

I think the article commends the Cowboys scouting department to accentuate the issue with Jerry Jones. They've been good, but the Cowboys approach has been disjointed. As you point out, the lack of aggression in free agency. But it is also the contradiction that the team builds through the draft, but then trades draft picks away for players that are long shots at best.

They threw away a 4th round pick on Trey Lance. Then spent another one on Mingo. I think most of the players they traded for this year was long shots to make the team. If you have a great scouting department, then why not keep your picks and trust your scouts to find good players even late in the draft?

I would also argue that some of what is perceived as great drafting is more great marketing. Every year we hear about a player who is the steal of the draft. Then we watch him play and we scratch our heads. Eric Scott is a good example. So was Caelen Carson. We see this every year. I remember the video of Mazi leaping up stairs in a fete of athleticism which was basically hyping his selection by Dallas in the first round. Mazi leaps up stairs better than he plays football.

Jerry cares most about consistently competitive Dallas teams. My read of his tactics is by overpaying his homegrown talent he secures their services and maintains stability, so overpaying is a non-issue.

As long as Dallas drafts relatively well and replinshes the few top end pieces they have while maintaining competent QB play, they will win enough games.

Now to the fans that is not enough. We want championships! Jerry has figured out the formula and most fans don't get it.

Division competitive teams that keep Dallas in the playoff picture churns media attention, stadium attendance (namely corporate suites), and product sales. My God, Jerry has even made this a side business folks! It's right in your face!! He sells the formula (literally) to other owners when they get a new stadium and market the corporate suites.

Jerry is laughing is arse off as fans call him incompetent.

Wow, let the insults fly.
Like you think you know everything when you do not.

You are another one that can't accept the truth.

Try: It's been a shame he has been in that role for the past 29 lost seasons !
