Stephen on how Eagles constructed their roster vs how Cowboys have

[mardwin]

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.

Their cap management philosophy is to push the can down the road in perpetuity. They love to over pay for their own average talent as if they were elite.

 

[diamonddelts]

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

Nothing behind that pathetic Dallas O-line.

 

[Sheepherder]

Even the 49ers have torn it down and rebuilt it

He ain't nothing but a lazy arrogant smart a-- just like his daddy.

 

[MS17]

Look at how smug that face is, like, don't ever question anything me and daddy do!

This organization becomes more and more like Sanford and Son each season. But Fred Sanford's a better general manager.

 

[Whyjerry]

Stephen will be worse than Jerry. By a lot.

 

[chuck520]

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!

Explains why they havent made an NFC Champ game in almost 30 years. Worst front office in sports.

 

[EPL0c0]

Exactly. Even teams that put themselves into “cap hell”. The cap hell lasts for like one season and you can be right back at it.

Meanwhile us cowboys fans are on year 28 of hell.

the Chiefs have made tough decisions (Tyreek and others) but continue to win

 

[rambo2]

This is Payton’s second year and should make the playoffs after dumping a highly paid QB. Their plan appears to have worked.

They might make the playoffs.

The chiefs have also been aggressive in free agency when the time called for it as well.

 

[CowboysLakerBamaFan]

What a horrible answer.

Haha! That made me LOL for some reason.

 

[CowboysLakerBamaFan]

Stephen needs to stop thinking about things.

Let other people do the thinking. Smarter people. Better people.

Just sit there Stupid, at Jerry's feet, waiting for your scraps, with a big dopey grin on your dim, uncomprehending face

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 buffoon

How many cowboys when fully healthy would start for the eagles?

 

[DallasDW00ds0n]

If the Eagles get to the Super Bowl, do they really care about when the time comes up to pay?

The idea is to win sometimes.

Like the Clampetts, the Sanfords were much better human beings, too.

 

[MS17]

Like the Clampetts, the Sanfords were much better human beings, too.

True that. And Lamont would be an upgrade over VP and Capboy Stephen. : ]

 

[slick325]

What a horrible answer.

HORRIBLE!

 

[slick325]

Honestly, if I didn't know better, I would think they are intentionally tying up most of the cap space with 4-5 home players so we can't accuse them of not going after valuable free agents.

I honestly think Jerry and Stephen view this as the NBA. They think having 5 or 6 high paid players means you should win it all.

They think if we have Curry, Thompson, and Green locked up we can win every year. This isn't the NBA. 53 man roster in a sport that is very physical. You have to figure out how to put a whole team together!

Having the triplets as a marketing tool with all three being HOFers really spoiled the Jones boys. They really think it was just those 3 guys who won those 3 SBs.

 

[Risen Star]

Enjoy this flashback to when the Rams won the Super Bowl doing the opposite of what we do.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

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

Hardly anything. We didn't have the blocking to truly unleash an excellent RB. , sometimes not a passing attack, and a coach who thinks run game as an afterthought.

And ...Jerry.
