Twitter: The Jones family has been on vacation this week during FA *confirmed*

[Jake]

I'm sure you have proof that he does.















Waiting...

Owner, President, General Manager

As long as Jerry holds those 3 titles he controls whatever he wants to control.

 

[birdwells1]

And which players (and contracts) would you have signed?

Wilkerson, Matieu.

 

[Rayman70]

I guarantee that Howie Roseman and Bill Belichick are not on vacation right now.

That's right...they put the work in ,JJ doesn't..but in this case it might be a blessing that he's out of town and hands off. As long as Will McClay is at the star and working the phones I'm ok with this. Do we really want Jerrah involved in player deals anyways?

 

[glimmerman]

If I had JJ money I would be on vacation to. Difference is that I would have a GM to handle this FA stuff. Of course with my final approval.

 

[Haimerej]

you guys are so funny.
So the Jones cant take their phones to the Bahamas?
So they dont know who was coming available and have not discussed value and dollars?
You howlers discredit yourselves.

Three pages before someone posted we live in 2018 and cell phones are a thing. Well done.

 

[birdwells1]

Y'all are killing me. Like technology doesn't allow communication these days. They didn't take a trip to mars. Y'all know that you can talk to people on the other side of the world these days live. Even video stream and see each other.

On draft day some teams don't have a first round pick but there they are in their war room on the first day just in case something comes up. Sure they could use technology but it's what they get paid to do so they're there.

It is embarrassing how the expectations of this franchised has been lowered since the Jones started to run it.

If the DFW media had a spine they'd hold this front office accountable.

The fans deserve better than this.

Look on the bright side. At least we're not spending stupid money on FAs that aren't going to make an improvement like Brandon Carr.

you mean like Will McClay?

 

[Captain43Crash]

I wonder how many of the other 31 teams "full time" GM's are on vacation during the 1st week of FA?

ZERO, and the saddest thing is, we all know it.

This is a joke right?

 

[Rayman70]

Lets face facts...Will McClay is running the player personell stuff and has been for sometime. This has the fingerprints of he all over this. He has said many times how he feels about his convictions of building primarily through the draft. I think he is staying true to his convictions. You can bet JJ wanted like crazy to dip his toes in the water and go sign a big fish...I think that big fish was Watkins...and when that failed, he went on vacation and relented. McClay is doing what he does.I may not agree with it,but its how they must feel.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

This is a joke right?

Yes it is

 

[birdwells1]

When did this happen, I was unaware that he had been named GM.

 

[Rayman70]

Its a positive that JJ is "out to lunch" and out of the country lol...oh boy...that can go SO MANY DIRECTIONS. lol

It is embarrassing how the expectations of this franchised has been lowered since the Jones started to run it.

What's embarrassing is fans crying because the Owner and Team President are at a family wedding during Spring Break as if they don't have technology to work remotely even though plenty of normal people work remotely every day (I do) and have access to a private plane that can have them back in Dallas in 3 hours.

You coulda stopped that sentence at unaware.

 

[birdwells1]

Yes it is

ok thanks

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

ok thanks

Have you ever seen "Mean Tweets"?

There really is no bright side. You are the GM, who likes to make all the decisions, of a billion dollar business, and you decide to party in the Bahamas instead of do your job. I would have changed the wedding date in a heart beat. Jerry could have paid for the wedding to have it changed.
