This Garrett situation is definitely about the money

[Big_D]

This is about 2 weeks worth of money??

That doesn't require multiple meetings with Garrett.

Sure it does, if he's assigning him tasks. He wants to get max value out of him.

If his contract expires in 12 days, and there is a provision to pay him out a severance if he is let go before this date, this could be part of the hold up. The Jones boys have been odd about paying people to do nothing.

If you remember, they didn't want a "walk around" head coach, because they didn't want to pay a real offensive coordinator. Part of the same reasoning. The short answer is they are making Garrett stay until the end of his contract. I wouldn't be surprised if he was washing Jerry's car while he was out on vacation in Aspen.

Coaches contracts are full guaranteed. There's no severence. They owe him exactly the same no matter when it happens. Jerry Jones is a BILLIONAIRE. A few million mean nothing to him.

The cowboys can put him on a shelf for 2 weeks and still at least start interviewing........if that was there plan. I think Jerry is actually going to bring Garret back........and JG is probably negotiating more control. Otherwise, it would either be a done deal or we would hear SOMETHING about Dallas contacting other coaches. I bet JG wants to hire his own staff and have more say in player personnel.

Good one.

LOL. 10 days of severance is a pittance.

Jerry has spent more money on useless crap like cars, houses and Nolan Carroll.

The more likely scenario is they're negotiating his extension.

I have come to believe you are right. Jones still thinks, that he is a great GM and background HC, plus he will still have a camera, a mike, and reporters drooling over every Jonesism. He's conning us but people will still come, plunk down hundreds of dollars for tickets, parking, and nachos, for another 8-8 season.
We'll bite just like we've bitten for the last twenty something years.
F**K Jerry Jones, the Texans are right down the road.

It would be worth the money to give the fans what they want, not leave them gnashing for two weeks
