Why didn't we go after Aaron Jones?

Next to Sasquatch Barley, I wanted Aaron Jones with a star on his helmet.

I'm still not a fan of Elliott and still think he's lots his speed. We are paying Elliott $3 million this year.

While Aaron Jones is getting 3.5 million. I don't know why we didn't even look at Jones at all. Elliott is Elliott. He can't break tackles and has lost his speed. Our run game will end up biting us this season because we went with Elliott and not look at other alternatives.

We couldn’t even pay up for Zach Moss..Arron Jones was way too spendy for JJ.

Why? Because idiot Jerry has once again overpaid for a QB who can't win in the playoffs.
This.
We like our guys
And this.

Any thing not blown on the QB will be put towards the next guy Jerry overpays. Micah. then Bland / Smith , but prob gonna see a Diggs holdout like Martin in there too.

Jerry got that scratch spent for the next decade.

Another thread the haters will love. Negativity.

I know right? I'm baffled we went for Zeke over him. He is a cowboy killer and we could have taken him off the board.

I think he signed 1 year 7 mil contract - but yes they could have made him an offer - still looks pretty good.

Dallas is just wanting a decent team and Jerry is counting on the media to create a media buzz to sell jerseys and merchandise. A business strategy that may work ($$$$$) but won't have an impact on me.

Forget that. Why did we draft liufau over marshawn Lloyd or the kid from Tennessee. Liufau had 9 snaps out of 70. I did not like the pick then I don't like it now

It was 7m! That for a back who averages 848 yards a season and misses a prerequisite 4-5 games per.
Should have just resigned Pollard for a million more and less wear and tear!
