Just for the record Free Agency is so overrated

[Desperado]

Everyone gets so fired up when the Cowboys don't make many moves but ya gotta admit who is a must sign for any team plus the Cowboys rely on their draft to get better and not some over the hill veteran who's looking for one more big pay day. Remember when the Cowboys signed Makenzie Bernardo and Nate Livings in 2012 boy did they suck! How about Brandon Carr ya pretty much a non factor and whatabout the D tackle from Buffalo Martellus Wiley yup another suckage! Now don't get me wrong the Cowboys have brought in a couple of good ones like Deion Sanders, Anthony Henry, and L'roy Clover but that's when they had cap space unlike today.

The 49ers (DT Javon Hargrove) and the Chiefs (OT Jawaan Taylor) both had a starter in the Super Bowl who was a Free Agent signing that year.

So Deion and Halley were bad decisions as well I suppose.

Ignoring one way to improve your team is dumb business.

This…


Dallas has had teams that a piece or 2 extra could’ve got them to a championship and they didn’t do anything.

 

[Clove]

Said to the loser owner who didn't do squat in FA.

 

[noshame]

First of all, you gotta be in a position where a free agent is going to make a difference. We would need 15 free agents at this point.
And Mahomes

Said to the loser owner who didn't do squat in FA.

A good GM, knows if they are 1 or 2 pieces away and goes and gets them.

GM Jethro, thinks we have a SB team every year and does basically nothing. Then acts surprised, mad and disappointed when we lose.

People say I would do anything to win a or another Super Bowl.

Not GM Jeruh, he is more interested in collecting 5th round comp picks.

 

[bewp7]

yea losing like 10 starter/rotation player and not replacing them at all is the smart thing

jerry and stephen are the smart one, every single other team is stupid

right

 

[erod]

It is true, very few high-dollar free agent signings work out.

 

[MikeT22]

Are they going to make some trades like last year?

Aging vets for one or two year rentals? Wouldn’t surprise me if we wasted more future draft picks.

 

[cowboyfan4life2]

Jerry is that you?

 

[Chasing6]

Aging vets for one or two year rentals? Wouldn’t surprise me if we wasted more future draft picks.

They will use next years late picks, that will be replaced by the comp picks, that GM Jethro loves so much.

You're right free agency isn't usually the place you want to build your core team. Teams often don't let great players get away for nothing and you mostly get average to above average players for big contracts. However, sometimes you find a good one, but its typically a proven player entering their 3rd contract or later part of their career.

 

[rambo2]

Always possible, but it probably depends on their draft plans. With only 7 total picks after the comp picks awarded this team doesn't have a ton of firepower to trade with. If they see value in a round 1 or 2 trade down scenario to grab a couple extra picks that could change things.

It's next year's picks that they trade. They have 11 picks 2025.

 

[btgboys41]

Free agency is Overrated will be on Stephen’s headstone.

 

[CoachD]

So Deion and Halley were bad decisions as well I suppose.

Ummmmmmmmm Jimmy Johnson traded for Charles Hailey he was not a free agent and you can see I already mentioned Deion but thanks anyway.

 

[Ken]

They were a Jawarski Tarte dropped int away from flaming out miserably.

 

[billsboys]

The FO is afraid to spend in free agency, but continue to overpay when they resign there own players. So to keep doing the same thing over and over again is not working. If we evaluate college players so well why can't do the same with NFL players.

This year, sure. Last year there were guys available that could've helped in the defensive trenches. They opted to draft 2 guys. One was an afterthought and the other got hurt early. I believe that and the blatant disregard to RB cost us a solid run. You plug holes in FA and build the future in the draft. Sometimes you need more than cheap masking tape to plug a hole.

lol…You think the Cowboys are going to get an impact player for this season via trade and only have to part with 2025 draft capital?

They got 2 last year and Lance. They can also sign any player that is cut.
