Look no further then the Eagles free agents this yr and see why we cannot compete!

[Stash]

It seems everything Roseman does these days turns to gold. It’s okay to be envious. Our GM’s suck

I hope that both Jerry and Stephen Jones realize that Roseman and teams like Philadelphia are running circles around them.

They should be embarrassed.

Smith was washed and Gilmore is not really missed either. The only team that had a worst offseason than us was the dumb Giants. The Eagles have done well in the last few drafts as well. What have we done??? Project Guyton. Passing on Portas for Schoon etc.. The Eagles drafted two starting CB's in last years draft. I hate to say it, but Dallas needs to raid some of their office people. They are doing a hell of a job.

Giants didn't do from a 12-5 home playoff team to picking at 12 overall.

 

[Stash]

The Eagles will go to 16 NFCCG and Stephen will still think cheap moneyball is the way to win "ultimately". The guy shouldn't even run a hot dog stand.

The more I see of his work and the more I hear from him, the more I realize that he has no idea what he’s doing.

And the only reason he has and keeps this job is because he’s the owner’s kid.

 

[Cowboyny]

Whatever our model is hasn't worked at all in the era of free agency. Jerry calls himself the GM but does none of the work of a GM which is a 365 day a year job and requires a lot of time looking at film and watching NFL games. And even if you do all the work, you still have to make the right decisions. This is why we can't compete. Nobody is doing the GM work.

They need to change their way how to team build and how to run their team where football is the most important thing.

I think they'll let Bechton sign with some DUMB team that doesn't realize he's a product of their coach and system. Some dumb team...like us...will pay him top dollar, only to see him revert to an average player, just like he was before his 1 year with them.

They'll fund a way to keep Baun...trust me. They just fell azz backwards into a superstar with him, but they won't let him get away.

I know these players have short careers, and that of course they're motivated to make as much money as possible in that window, but I wonder how much (some) players are willing to concede for being in the right environment, and for the amazing coaching and opportunities they received to get that newfound success. To your point, both Bechton and Braun were marginal players, at best, and in one year because stars. If I were in their shoes, I would thank my lucky stars and not try for a massive payday in Jacksonville or wherever, but that's me.

 

[Cowboyny]

It's painfully clear that the model of just drafting to build your roster is flawed.

People would argue here that there were different ways to skin a cat and our model of drafting was fine.

It's not. It's failed over and over and over and over and over again.

Drafting isn't a perfect science, even the good teams miss on players, but they go out and find replacements for their errors, this team continues to try to develop when they know certain players aren't good enough.

he really shouldnt

I can imagine him using a hair dryer to heat the franks because it’s cheaper

 

[JonesBoys]

I still get a sad chuckle thinking back at all the 'Jerry and Bill are best buds! He's gonna hire him!' comments. A Bill Belichick hire would have been an atypical Jerry Jones move. The likelihood of it happened was always close to zero.

Jerrah would have never been comfortable with Bill here. And as we know, Jerrah would rather lose being comfortable then to win and go outside his comfort zone. Hence, why the Cowboys will never go anywhere with him alive.

I'm telling you Howie is gonna get Miles Garret this offseason

 

[SwagSurfer]

Jerry and Stephen. We can whine about players till our faces turn blue and purple. It's those two who pull all the strings at the end of the day. I really don't wast energy complaining about the product anymore because Jerry and Son will just continue to run this franchise like a circus until they sell the team.

They’re going to be challenged deciding who they can re-sign, Williams or Sweat. The Eagles are held to the same salary cap parameters as the other 31 teams. They’re not going to sign Myles Garrett.

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

We remind me of the Coach of Clemson, Dabo Sweeny who decided he was not going to use the NIL money to get better players last year. We'll, how did that work out for him?

PS. The answer was they sucked because he refused to add talent when he easily could have.

I don't think it's a money issue for the Cowboys. it's because they are lazy and don't want to put the time and effort in to make us more competitive. That's on the owner/GM.

This, they wanted to pretend it was the money as why they didn’t go after a RB in FA, till it was exposed and showed them having more than enough to get someone making them look foolish in the process.

 

[Fla Cowpoke]

I agree this is their window.......it's already looking like a few major changes next season
* hearing Barkley's contract
* they may move on from AJ
* The Saints are flying to Philly today to interview Kellen. Could be his job to lose

THey have cap space and no one with 60m cap hits.

Dak's cap hits the next 4 years:
2025 - 90m
2026 - 68m
2027 - 62m
2028 - 72m

Burrow's highest cap hit during this period is $53.5m. Love's is no more than $45m until 2028 when it is $76m. Lawrence no more than $47m. Dak's contract is beyond obscene.

Brown just was redone....he would be a huge hit this year unless someone takes on his contract. The Eagles have $19m in space with him. Barkley's cap number can be reduced with an extension. The loss of Kellen won't be a big deal, they will just plug someone else in.

Wishful thinking that the Eagles are gonna fall off a cliff soon.

Simple restructures the Eagles can make $63m in space with the stroke of a pen. Wishful thinking on your part.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

This franchise siging washed-up Zeke and thinking we were good at RB to me symbolizes everything wrong with Jerry and why we are now the laughing stock of the league.

you know why they signed him?

they had a load of Zeke jerseys left in inventory which they needed to get rid of, so they signed him to "see what he can do". they didn't even bother to print new jerseys as Cowboys website was selling #21 jerseys..

 

[coult44]

It starts at the top with Jerry and trickles down from there.

Also neither BB or Sabin could have convinced the Jones clan to change on how they do business.

Y’all need to stop fooling yourselves into believing Jerry is the top anymore. We all learned this week Stephen and JJJ can pursued dad into doing anything they want.

thanks for posting this. it speaks volumes to Jerry's incompetence. a Single contract has handicapped the cowboys. one contract...that's incompetence if they can't manage that. our incompetence shrieveling GM, waited literally until an hour before the first game of the season to sign the QB and had zero QBs on the roster for 25...the idiot!!!

but one has to look at multiple contracts to see what flexibility they have and how they create cap room and push money to future years. also keep in mind Hurts signed last year and Dak signed this year. so salaries go up (shouldn't have gone to 60M though).
Eagles top 6 contracts is 171M
Cowboys top 6 contracts is 168
CInci top 6 contracts is 135 - However, 3 of the contracts ended in 24, and two ending in 25, so that number will go up


our GM, doesn't give a crap. his goal is not winning. his goal is to maximize profits. we had 23M in cap space, but signed Zeke and almost dead bodies at DT. we can open up 65-70M on the cap in 25, but they won't do it. we were 16th in cash spent, and that was because of CD and Dak, prior to that we were 29th. we are 28th in total cap. I think we are 28th in dead cap money. all of which points to joneses not running the team properly and not caring to invest. they don't care who gets the money, becaus by agreement they have to spend at cap floor minimum. they invested in Dak because he was top 5 in jersey sales, 2nd in MVP and they were thinking jersey sales.

the contracts are not the issue. the joneses are.

this doesn't mean I am endorsing Dak. I am not. that's why I look at top 6 contracts, over all spend, and cap management

it works as long as you successfully replenish the pool. but when you have two bad years in a row and don't dip into FA, then you are screwed.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

Jerry isn't embarassed. his team is more profitable and more valued than Eagles and that's all jerry cares about

 

[EPL0c0]

it's the culture here and Cowboys culture starts with jerry jones (unfortunately)

I don't see why any legit FA would want to come to Dallas

heck, few FAs even try to use the threat of signing with Dallas has leverage anymore
