Stephen: "We don't define 'all-in' by what you spend in free agency"

[phildadon86]

Everyone misunderstood what Jerry meant by that comment.

No we didn’t.

“Other players, not planning for the future.”

2 statements made by Jerry.

That sound like signing your own to you?

 

[phildadon86]

When you are a serious SB contender then you go all in. We're never serious about anything. Then if the season goes downhill, that's when they'll make an outrageous trade. That's what they do.

Yup. Reactive never proactive

 

[PAPPYDOG]

And Jerry will extend and make cap room and pick up top-quality FAs and Superbowl here we all in baby!!!!

Translation: You are all playing for your jobs come next season coaches and Players!!!

The more I hear from Stephen the more I think they are extending Dak……

The latest "not until camp" makes me think it's more likely they plan on moving on from Dak.

Waiting til camp means no cap to spend in free agency, means a crappy team this year, means they're willing to waste a year of Dak, or have him demand a trade.

Could just be a game of chicken with Dak. See which side blinks first at having no cap to spend in free agency.

Lance could be fun. I like cheap, running QBs.

IMHO the only reasonable definition of "all in" is how much future cap space are you spending to improve your chances this year. We are almost always "somewhat all in". We never seem to have the nerve to truly go "all in". For what it's worth there is nothing about this team to me that screams go "all in". If anything the team is begging you to pull back.

Please stop

We don't define 'all in' by what you spend in free agency. It's keeping the core (together)."

No. It is not keeping together a core that has failed time and again together. When you come up short and keep re-signing the same "core" and keep doing all of the same things year after year, you will absolutely just guarantee that you will come up short again

Stephen u can't even keep the core of guys u have, they have departed..until they understand these players doesn't want to play here bc of a star Cowboys will never sniff SB

 

[StarLord]

The best I can give here is not to care. Nothing they one way or the other matter.. in the slightest. It's just noice. Just care about what they do or don't do.

keeping a core that has failed each and every time???

$10 says we fail again.

 

[MyFairLady]

You could also consider trading away draft picks for veteran players on expiring deals (low base salary) as an "all in" move.

 

[Runwildboys]

They must mean the second definition:


Definitions from Oxford Languages

all in

1.
US
completely committed to or very much in favor of something.
"anything he did, he was all in"
2.
INFORMAL
exhausted.
"he was all in by halftime"

 

[JBS]

Yep. There has to be a pay off for enduring all of this but we'll all be dead by that time.

Pay off is we get to go to hel after we die

 

[Chasing6]

Trades are coming???

If we made two trades similar to last year I would be ok with that.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

essentially my dad had too many too drink and he just pulled one out of his rear end to save his arse with fans. so I am just redefining all in to something that fits our narrative. the actual meaning be damned.

 

[raven55]

he only cashs in when there a party with strippers on the4 boat or the party bus then he's all in like papa like son

Yeah, I dont see the fascination with keeping together a core that chokes in the playoffs every season.

Like why?

Jersey sales I guess

 

[Beast_from_East]

Cap Boy has spoken, so you peasants can all shut the hell up

 

[Beast_from_East]

Everyone misunderstood what Jerry meant by that comment.

If a word means one definition to 99.9% of people and a different definition to you............good chance its not the 99.9% that need a dictionary, just saying

 

[DanA]

Everyone misunderstood what Jerry meant by that comment.

I don’t believe we did. Unless Jerry meant “bare minimum” when he said “all in” he’s either lied or changed the plan.

 

[Blitzen]

We also do not define team success by what the team accomplishes in the postseason.
