I find it interesting people holler about Dak getting overpaid but do not mind overpaying for FA that often never live up to the deal. I recall the fit many threw because Jerry did not go out and pay Earl Thomas top money, looking back it was a great move not signing Earl. I have no issue using the draft to find players whom I want longer term and using draft to fill voids. More times than not these FA moves do not pan out
Because teams overpay especially early in FA and it has seldom helped. You pay out boat load then the player does not perform as expected. You may have an issue with getting a guy like Robert Quinn, David Irvin, Joe Loony I don't. then again what I want is vet players who can come in an help fill voids. How you would do things that is your choice
All I keep thinking about is Nolan Carroll and that bust DB we signed from the Vikings a couple years back....oh, and Not Funny Clinton Dix.
Nah. We’re moving up to the TJ Max clearance rack.Just said at the press conference.
Now let's see if "doing some things" means more than rummaging through the Walmart discount bin.
How much cap do the team have?
In fairness, they did spend some money last year with Poe, McCoy and Griffen.Just said at the press conference.

“The cap will likely continue to go down.” You don’t have to make stuff up to try and prove your point dude. Give it upThe cap went down to $182,500,000. Between Dak, Zeke, Lawrence, Cooper and Martin.... what’s left... $80,000,000? Cap likely to continue to go down as revenue decreases. Anyone still like Dak signing?
Completely agree, we have the money to build a championship team but we lack the know how.
Money doesn't make you smart. I have money and I have no clue how to build a championship team.
Defense.
Every team has exactly the same amount of money to spend on players. It has nothing to do with money. No team in the NFL can spend more than 182M on players next season. What separates us from teams that actually make Super Bowls is how we choose to spend that money. The Jones boys are fools in the area of personnel.

Of course, they all sucked (or got hurt in McCoy's case)
Some people have too much money.Look at you, all fancy, shopping at Walmart.
Exactly. 100% facts. We've always had money. We've had money the last 25 years.Every team has exactly the same amount of money to spend on players. It has nothing to do with money. No team in the NFL can spend more than 182M on players next season. What separates us from teams that actually make Super Bowls is how we choose to spend that money. The Jones boys are fools in the area of personnel.
Being burned on all three likely means they go back to the penny barrel.
In fairness, I think part of Griffen's issue was tied to Nolan. Nothing funnier than watching him drop Griffen and Lawrence into coverage.
