Someone enlighten me to "the plan"?

[Stash]

If this was the decision they were going to make, why wasn't it done months ago?

Why wasn't the player given the best chance for a new deal elsewhere?

Why didn't the team free up the cap space when they really needed it most?

Why didn't they do it when the other top receivers were available?

Does anyone in that building know what they're doing?

 

[dagreat1_87]

Because there was no plan.

 

[visionary]

It's a process

They arrive at a conclusion through discussion and eventual concession. That takes time and then Dez went on an Australian vacation and Jerry wanted to deliver the news face to face.

What difference does the timing of the cut make?

It's $4m in cap space and they were able to offer Watkins a 8 digit AAV contract anyway.

Youre being emotional again.

 

[Qbert]

That’s the plan

The Cowboys are a rudderless ship, when the wind blows and changes direction, so does the Cowboys plans.....it is what it is under Jerry Jones....

Seriously?

If you don't see it, I'm not spelling it out for you. Again.

You figure it out for yourself.

I am impressed to see that there are still some people that have faith in this FO and this CLOWN of a coach

1. The plan was to make sure we could actually sign capable WRs in free agency and make sure we were comfortable with WRs that might be available throughout various rounds in the draft beforehand. If you cut Dez, every receiver and agent is now carving you up because you're desperate. What other top receiver was available? We had the money to sign anyone, including Watkins, if we wanted, but we weren't going to overpay just because we could. Whether you like the move forward or not, this was the ideal time to release him. You don't cut a starting player without already having options lined up.

I know what you are upset about. It's your generalized discontent over Garrett and Jones.

Still not seeing what difference the timing makes. Your take that they needed the money to make big money offers is just false.

The plan will be DJ CHARK!

You need to know the secret knock.

The only thing I'm curious about is had Hurns not become available would Dez' fate had still been sealed?

 

[Cowboys22]

The plan is to continue the clown show as long as foolish Cowboy fans and their money can be parted.

They shouldn't have done it until they got Hurns done.
The only reason I see them doing it now is to try to put pressure on other teams to take Ridley, so that someone else they want falls.

Or maybe they only made their decision after they had their 30 draftee auditions.

The timing makes very little, if any, difference for the Cowboys. The timing is extremely critical for Brian, however. If he had been released earlier, the market would have been more open for him to land a new spot.
