Actually it paid off the way they did it.
You can't say "it paid off" b.c that implies they didn't just back into a decent pass rush. Randy Gregory was plan A and that negotiation got botched. Von was gone before the draft so we settled for Dante Fowler jr.......... not exactly an equivalent talent. So, that put us in a position of having to draft Sam Williams in round 2 and that worked better than expected until his car crash.

Fowler and Armstrong.

Armstrong was our guy. We didn't have to go out and sign him. Plus, he was cheap. Jerry never figured him for anything more than a rotational guy.
Armstrong was one of our free agents who they signed after the Gregory fiasco.

This infatuation with the idea that the Cowboys could get Payne is unhealthy and delusional. Know your Front Office.
It’s more about math than the front office
We simply can’t put 20 mil in the DT position when you look at our cap space and coming FA
we have to sign
I’d love to have him but if I was spending big money on a position to have the biggest impact I think I’d spend on a WR over a DT

Can anyone remind me of the last time this team paid big money to a free agent that wasn't already a Cowboy? Lol, I just don't understand why anyone would think that Dallas would be in the market for any big name free agents

Again, when was the last time that happened?
They made the team better last year. They are in good position to make the team better this year. They know that they need receiver and dtackle in free agency and they can get the cap room that they need to do it.

We’ve signed the expensive WR off and on for 27 years with nothing to show for it.

I’d rather spend the 20 mil on DT for a change and figure out who we’re going to pay later.

It’s all hope right now.

I’m hoping they pull their heads out of their ***** and pull the trigger on someone that can actually help.

If they don’t, I think I might find another team.

Not trying to sound self righteous. Not implying that Jerry or Stephen should care. I just can’t keep watching the same thing over and over.
