Twitter: Jerry on Deion Sanders future as an NFL coach

[Carson]

Not saying you're wrong as I've heard multiple people suggest the same thing, I'm just confused where that money is coming from. Spotrac projects the 2025 cap to be around $273M and the Cowboys right now are sitting at $270M for 2025.

Not asking you to do all the math, but is this just based on the expectation that Dak/Lamb will get restructured or is there another big contract move I'm just overlooking?

Draft his kid. Give him a billion dollars. Lets turn this thing around.

Thanks....the obvious part I forgot about is the rollover money. Still not sure the Cowboys cap situation for 2025 is all that great, but $20ish million in rollover money certainly helps give them some flexibility.

Jerry spitting facts on this one. Prime will have a much greater influence on the college level, but I'm not betting against him if he wants to make the jump.

A 5-star QB just signed with him today

There’s no way in heck that guy goes to Colorado without Deion. He’s staying

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones when asked on @1053thefan about Deion Sanders' coaching future in the NFL: "I think we're way ahead of ourselves relative to when and if he decides to go into coaching in the NFL.

"One of his greatest skills, that he really brings to college, is that he almost has no peer as far as being a recruiter. Kids want to come play for him. And he has a way of selling that. That is one skill, that recruiting skill, that is not a huge prerequisite for NFL coaches. One of his greatest values is in that area of putting the team together and getting great talent to come play for him there at Colorado.

"All of that would go into your mind. But make no mistake about it, he's one of the top people, young and old, that I've been around in the NFL."

Thats not a skill. That is a conciouss decission because he knows that works.

He will do it different in the NFL.

To be able to adapt is called talent. Understandable that JJ does not get that.

I think Jerry would really like to make Jason Witten the Head Coach but not with no college or pro experience. It's too soon for him now.

Don't rule out Jerry giving him the Jason Garrett treatment and bringing him in to be a part of the next staff in some fashion to groom him for the future.

Learn from Belichick and eventually be his successor.

This not only is realistic— it seems inevitable lol

Jerry….

You’re right in a way

But

People WANTING to play for a coach drives free agency….

Please get off the microphone

Agree but Jerry ain't gonna spend in FA, so he doesn't need him for coaching.
However, Jerry likely looks at Primetime as a ticket seller. He can make Primetime the star of the new updated soap opera Dallas.
