Just how cheap the Cowboys have been in free agency over the last decade

Their FA strategy affects how they approach the draft. They absolutely must draft for need, and while they got away with it for a while, it’ll eventually catch up.

We are about there.

I do realize you have to pay attention to position to a point in the FA era, but essentially forcing yourself into certain spots means you’re bound to leave better players on the board.

Being hell-bent on getting a CB in 21 and a TE in 23 made them force the Joseph and Schoonmaker picks.

Yup, and no other team wanted him at the time.

Jerry hires a bipolar nutcase and uses this as the excuse that high price FAs aren't worth it.

Think the last real quality FA the Cowboys signed was La'Roi Glover? Jason Ferguson?

THIS ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This picture should be on the side of our helmets.......

Yeah but….let’s be patient Risen…it’s only been 30 years. And we have won 2 wild card games the last decade. Let’s give the Jones boys some time to learn.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And that ended being a great decision.

Im glad that they are being selective about the FA they are signing.
Lets see a RB3 who may or may not revive his career.
A Guard that probably wont beat out Haufman.
Today is going to be exciting.

You mean a Guard with one leg.

The Cowboys are just playing money ball in free agency. Stephen was inspired by the movie, sets a strict budget to spend and tells McClay and the analytics department to find them players at a JAG cost that can play snaps for us.

 

[Zekeats]

That’s pathetic

 

[cald0d30s0]

They look like guys from high school searching for used Laptops on eBay… Jesus Christ…

 

[Kingofholland]

So Greg Hardy wrecked it all, what a terrible signing lol

 

[cowboyfan4life2]

Stephens still mad the free agents arent free

He thinks players should pay them for the right to play here.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

on the other side see how much more profitable cowboys have been compared to the rest of the NFL... and they are the most valued franchise. everything else is secondary

 

[Hadenough]

Cowboys fans are so spoiled by all the success

yep all those 12 win seasons that ended with a deer in the headlights look has fans spoiled. Lol

 

[Rayman70]

Look Forward not back. It's not a productive thing to keep beating a dead Jerry argh horse.

Yeah, I don’t think I’ve ever witnessed a team who mainly utilizes free agency to bring in players for depth only to support current starters. There isn’t a true competition unless a draft pick or UDFA makes a splash. Goes back to the FO’s term of “we like our guys” and understand they really mean that. Still don’t know why they cleared all that space to only go this route in free agency
