The issue is that the Joneses have the luxury of looking far into the future because they have lock tight job security, other GMs do these deals because they are under pressure to win or they'll be fired. This is the biggest reason that we haven't been to an NFCCG in close to 30 years.
stop using common sense, it doesnt work with this franchise..
I don't think you are comparing apples to apples concerning cap hits. Jalen was still on rookie contract when he signed his extension. Thus the cap hits haven't yet begun to reflect the extension value.
You'd think a Jerry Jones that turns 82 in a few months wouldn't be looking that far into the future, but for some we still had the slowest offseason I can remember.
Sorry I laughed a little but it is the truth.
First article when you google "How much did Dak make in endorsements last year". By your response I'm going to assume you don't know how to use a search engine.
This was the most competent interview he’s conducted in years
This is what comes up and it says that Dak has made $50M in endorsement money in his career which comes out to average around $6M per year. That's significantly different from he made $50M in 2024 as you said.
Fantasy football is thinking this front office will pay for free agents….
the "Dallas Cowboys Endorsment" advantage has been overblown for years, name me the last FA who would come here at a lower cost because "He will get endorsments"..most want to win and wont touch this FO with a ten foot poll.
Agree. In the modern world the biggest endorsement guys and the top jersey sellers are the same guys that are holding up the Lombardi trophy at the end of the year. Next are the ones who are in the running for it every year.
“endorsement deals”. If that were in fact true players would want to sign with the Cowboys at a corresponding discount. Since they don’t it can only mean endorsement deals are of no consequence to players in deference to playing for a particular NFL franchise. The Dallas Cowboys have no advantage over the other 31 NFL franchises in any way. The fact that their stars have to hold out or threaten to just to be paid what their peers on other teams get paid will increasingly become a disadvantage. Professional football players don’t see any prestige in that “star” on the helmet. None. Cowboys fans fantasize that players desire to play for the Dallas Cowboys. They don’t. That is “realistic”.
Something seems off.
100%
This team needs a competent GM and nether of the Jones’s are the answer.
100% its funny he is kinda saying "Everyone ELSE needs do what needs to be done to win" Hey self proclaimed ship captain..heres a thought how bought you hold the GM accountable for the 28 year drought and do what needs to be done first!
Because he's full of it as you said. Nice ownage! Lol.
You know I thought about this too. Unfortunately we will blame Jerry and I will until proven otherwise but I do have a sense this is Stephen’s doing. It’s consistent with his behavior over the years.
