Relax, 90% Of Contracts Signed Today Will Be Seen As Bad Deals

[Vinnie2u]

Good teams live of the draft and plug in holes.. Now we just gotta get better at drafting...

 

[Avery]

Agreed - though I think a lot of people are wondering why we're not doing much, we've got some contracts to get to our OL that will get pricey.

Agreed. Never been a fan of spending big in FA, and the NFL agrees with that sentiment.

Let's see, who was active today. Jax? Texans? And who was quiet? Seattle, Carolina, Denver, Green Bay, New England, and Arizona.

Dallas was quiet today. ....I feel we are still one of the best teams in the league when healthy

Best post of the day.

If we would have signed Vernon for that much money, this forum would blow up about how we just gave some guy the equivalent of DLaw more money than the entire combined wealth of the state of Wyoming.

 

[erod]

True. However, the salary cap keep getting raised so teams can absorb these bad contracts.

 

[Direwolf63]

Somebody needs to review last years first day signings and see how they turned out. That would be interesting.

If we would have signed Vernon for that much money, this forum would blow up about how we just gave some guy the equiviant of DLaw more money than the entire combined wealth of the state of Wyoming.

Yep. And it'd be several of the same faces that are currently praising the Giants.

Tell that to Denver

 

[JIMMYBUFFETT]

Don't forget to post the pictures of Dez, Smith, Frederick, Martin, and Jones along with this one. People act like Dallas hasn't drafted a player since Mo.

What I see are 6 teams that have won or are closer to winning a SB than the Cowboys.

So let's stop with comparing our inaction to date in free agency with that of teams that have far fewer problems than we have.

Dallas has done relatively fine in the first round in recent years save Mo, hence the picture but have been piss poor throughout most of the other rounds every year.

There is more than the first round in the draft you are aware of this fact?

 

[Direwolf63]

The Cowboys have been fine in the 1st round.

It's after that where the problems are.

Or we could just stop crying all day in every thread. That gets my vote.

Might be true but our Offensive Lineman can't play on Defense too !!!

Cowboys need to restructure a few contracts and go for a couple of these elite Free Agents !!!

Where did this fallacy come from that good teams don't spend money? Yeah, a team bargain shoppong can win a SB when they've gotten lucky in the draft a few years straight, and the cards fall just right.

"Drafting better" is easy to say. But even well run organizations miss because even your favorite pet cat can flame out.

That's what FA is for, like the Broncos last season, or the Patriots the year before.

The other teams that are now running the NFC or have for years either stocked up on defensive talent for years and years with top 15 picks (niners, Seahawks, panthers) and got incredibly lucky with later round picks (Sherman, Wilson, Norman, chancellor, etc). Arizona and Seattle have both spent money in FA as well. The year the Seahawks won the Super Bowl they spent a ton on their DL.

The Patriots have the best QB in the league and one of the best coaches of all time, and even they spent money on their way to their last Super Bowl.

You don't get a trophy for having the most cap space in the off-season. And a team that forced the least TO's in the history of the NFL while unable to win a game without their starting QB shouldn't be parting themselves on the back about how "smart" they are because they didn't spend money on impact players when they very well could have.
