Stephen on how Eagles constructed their roster vs how Cowboys have

[Risen Star]

Cowboys EVP Stephen Jones when asked on @1053thefan about how the Eagles roster is constructed vs. how the Cowboys are constructed with all of their salary cap issues:

“I’ll say it again, it’s the world’s smallest violin, but unfortunately we have over 50 percent of our cap on (injured reserve). Those things, when they hit and hit at the wrong time, it makes for a challenge for a team. Obviously, San Francisco is another team that’s had their share of injuries this year in terms of a big percentage of their cap sitting on IR. Those are things that come with the territory."

"I know everybody has their different battles with the cap that hit at different times. Philly will have theirs coming up where they’ll have to make tough decisions. But, yeah, we’re constantly looking at ways to look at our salary cap to give us the best opportunity with players like Dak (Prescott), CeeDee (Lamb) and Micah (Parsons), and you throw (Trevon) Diggs in there, to let those guys hopefully, No. 1, stay on the field, but No. 2, give us the best opportunity to make a great run.”

What a horrible answer.

I would hit Stephen Jones upside the head with the tiniest violin ever made if I could augment it with stainless steel spikes.

Imagine what simply signing any of the excellent free agent RBs over the last two years would have done for this team.

 

[sjmike]

That man is clueless

 

[wecasa]

Yea Philly already reset and are back at it. Denver dumped their albatross qb and survived. Maybe if they explained their philosophy on cap management. Oh wait. They have none.

Rams too.

He just doesn't get it.

What a horrible answer.

The injury excuse card is gonna be played hard this offseason to explain away the horror of 2024.

This will be immediately followed by the “we are finally healthy so we will be competitive again!” card which will be played in tandem with the “we like our guys” and “we are up against the cap so can’t add FAs” cards.

Finally, JJ will drop the ultimate “we are hanging around the rim so we are gonna run it back” card and it will be an offseason to remember.

Cowboys!

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

The Eagles - The proven correct way.

The Cowboys - The proven wrong way.

 

[DallasEast]

That man is clueless

Eventually, the word clueless may become offended if we keep associating it with the Joneses.

Oh most definitely. That will be the theme of another no change offseason. We were loaded for bear but the injury bug got us.

 

[Dools29]

They are only interested in paying the players they have marketed as the best players at their positions. Stephen is in the business of making money.

Philly beat the cowboys missing their starting QB.

The free agent they spent money on. Yea he’s about to break the single season rushing record.

Keep talking Stephen

Translation: the Eagles front office is proactive about improving our team while we do nothing because its too much effort

Cowboys moneyball approach is a proven failure

this is an excuse. this team sucked even before the injuries. we got gashed, wounded, peeled and skinned by Saints team that marched 6 times straight to open the game with 70+ yard drives.
Detroit skinned us alive and we had no chance.

so stop the excuses. you all brought in Zeke and said he has to start.... because you wanted to sell jerseys.
they didn't have a plan for OL, just end the current contracts and draft and cross your fingers.
the DT got degraded because you wouldn't pony up another 5-6M dollars a year to bring in a legit DT


as co-GMs of the team, the Jones boys suck. period.

You Idiot you can restructure contracts to get salary cap help ! Tired of saying can’t because of the salary cap ! You also look like an idiot saying the Rams would pay for trading all of those draft and high dollar free agents! One bad year they are players again making it to the Super Bowl! You must really think we fans cant add and find ways to help in the salary cap,come on man you are the biggest idiot I know!

 

[thunderpimp91]

What was the record when those guys on the IR were mostly healthy?

 

[Big_D]

This clown is always setting up how they will do absolutely nothing every offseason besides overpay their own players.. of course! Outside free agents? no thanks!
