Just remember that every top, high dollar, FA is a FA that their team gave up on. In essence, we would be paying big money for a player their previous team didn't want to pay them. They should know and have evaluated them much more that us. Why on earth should our FO overpay for other team's castoffs.
Not necessarily gave up. Sometimes you can’t keep everyone you’d like to.
I think that we are a Hopkins, rookie RB, a rookie LG away. We already got a different OC
Lol Hopkins!!! This is why I thank my lucky stars Jerry is in charge! Fans just don’t have the perspective to realize when a player is dropping precipitously and their skillset doesn’t match their pay scale anymore!
We like our guys
Teams seem to work the cap to keep everyone and anyone they want to. You should know that.
Show me one SB winning team over the last 15 years that did not make at least ONE major FA acquisition.
Hopkins played in 9 games last year he had 64 receptions for 717 yards and 3 touchdowns. We have a 2 year window to win big, we don’t have time to draft and hope a wr pans out.
Lol! Thus you don’t blow high draft capital on a old WR, who has missed 15 games the last two seasons, has the production of a #3 receiver for those 2 seasons and a 19m cap hit. You’d just be paying said player for past production from when he was with another team!
That’s simply not true and you should know that.
I never said it was better. I was just saying that's the way Stephen and the FO operate. They were trying to get a big player in the spring last
Jerry knows he is being called out everywhere about lack of signing big name FAs, so he will make a splash signing this off season. guaranteed.
Jerry doesn't have to do anything. So why is he still involved if its just about money? The cowboys make over 1B in revenue every year which is almost double any other team. He literally doesn't have to do anything to make tons of money. So why does he bother trying to run the team? The reason is b/c he wants to win and capture the glory given to Jimmy Johnson and denied him. Thats why he sticks around. He is 81 and has bought everything he wants. He will never run out money. The only thing left for Jerry to accomplish is building a super bowl winner himself. He craves the adoration of fans and media. He wants GMs and coaches around the league to see him as a peer..... a fellow "football man" not just a rich owner. Thats what the past 27 years has been about......
Jerry gambled on huge contracts for Zeke and Dak, and he got burned. That left him without the capital to invest in other players. Those of us who were screaming at Jerry not to overpay Zeke and Dak were right, especially about Zeke. It's way easier to replace a running back. If you've got a solid O-line and blocking scheme, there are usually many good backs in the draft who can prosper. It's way harder to replace a quarterback, but it can be done. And imagine if Dak had walked. He would be some other team's problem now. He's a Jeckl & Hyde QB. You have no idea which one will show up to the game, the guy who can play lights out and help us win or the one who throws pick sixes on the most basic of plays, giving us no chance to win.
And worse than that, he didn't maximize the full advantage of a rookie contract with Zeke giving into a hold out.
