Cowboys EVP Stephen Jones on @1053thefan when asked about Jerry Jones saying they couldn't afford Derrick Henry in free agency:

"You got to pick and choose where you're going to emphasize and where you're going to put your cap resources. Certainly we've done that with Dak (Prescott) and CeeDee (Lamb) and Zack Martin and obviously on the other side of the ball with (Trevon) Diggs. You can only pay so many of those guys. And it's real. I know everybody wants to say that you could push something out, but at some point as you push out you're going to have to then make a hard decision on somebody like Micah (Parsons)."

Stephen Jones made it clear that they are not going to do anything that would prevent them from re-signing Parsons. So if they make a trade, it would unlikely involve a player under contract beyond this season.

Stephen Jones on potentially making a move this season if they wanted: "Could we take advantage of an opportunity if we felt like the situation was there? Absolutely we can. Obviously the cap is a lot more than just about this year. Where our pressure starts to hit is going forward, as we try to have three players the caliber of Dak and CeeDee and Micah."

Why not take some risks right now and not worry about the future?

Stephen Jones: "(That scenario) goes to giving up on somebody like Micah to where you'd have to move on from him. If you want to push it all out there then you won't have the resources to pay a player like Micah, pay a player like Tyler Smith. ... We believe in our process. We believe in this football team. We believe in this coaching staff. We believe we're going to right the ship."

2 years, $16m....and he paid out $90m APY on two players this offseason. Not buying it. They're getting desperate with these reaches. Better hope Cook still has some juice left, but considering the lack of interest in elevating him to the main roster, it's not likely.

Jerry and Stephen think they are politicians and that, somehow, people will keep buying this ish. Yet, whether or not you were for or against the Dak signing and/or CeeDee signing, the Cowboys' Cap Space increased ALOT after those moves...so, everything they say is 100% pure BS

LOL. Team has 23 mil in cap space next year, including Dak's 89mil cap hit.
It's going to be restructured, aka "pushed forward", and probably down to 53.09 mil, freeing up 36mil in cap space.

CDL has a 26mil base, that can be restructured to save 20mil in cap space.

Derrick Henry could of been cut in 2025 and count as a 3 mil dead cap hit.

He's full of ****, and hope he chokes on a hotdog.

Click to expand...

I call BS...just a bunch of empty excuses.

they can't manage the cap, build a team, sign players and negotiate contracts...and all we hear is excuses excuses excuses. if you can't figure out how to pay an additional 5 M over 2 years to sign a much better player, then you have no right to manage the cap and contract negotiations.

just come out and say it Stephen. you had a large inventory of Zeke #21 jerseys you had to get rid of and so you had to sign Zeke.

Can we just merge this with Bobs “mistakes, lies, and delusion” thread since that’s basically what this is?
