What is a reason why we wait so long until the last minute to sign our players? What do we get out of doing this, it seems weird like they like this they seem infatuated with it! If the goal is to make a news story and not get ahead of these deals early, them I'm lost!

You see teams extend players early possibly after their 3rd season, why wait until its late to start getting things done. We're tight with our spending, but we wait and wait and end up spending more by taking our time! Please give your thoughts

Because they're dumb.

This is the honest answer to most questions regarding Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumb.
 
They in fact wait a year too long to sign players to big contracts (jags aside).

Honestly, I don’t think they know what they’re doing.

Or…

They just want to pocket cash and enrich themselves, in fact their cash spending amongst the most frugal teams.

Then, they can claim there’s no cap room and that they are hand cuffed by the CBA/cap.

The answer in a word: Stupidity.

Because they like paying their own guys and they do it late
 
Why do Cowboys fans whine about everything.

Trust me--it is not the reason you haven't won a SB the past 29 season's
 
To me it's the fact they wait too long to sign core players. Or they have good but not great guys like Osa who pretty much been holding it down about to hit free agency. Dude should've been signed last year for half or a quarter of what's he is about to get now.

A number of guys signed early didn't pan out as expected but they were 2nd and 3rd tier guys that showed upside to breakout.

However, guys like Lamb and Parsons that proved themselves over multiple seasons should have been prioritized to spread out deals.

Remember this forever. It will help you understand Jerry.

Jerry and Steven want to prove to the world they can win “their way”. No matter the cost. It’s their life long cry and always will be. Deep down Jerry knows the only credit he gets for the 90’s dynasty is for bringing in Jimmy, and signing the checks for the guys Jimmy brought in. When he fired Jimmy, and Switzer won another one, everyone knew that was Jimmys team and players. Again no credit to Jerry.

Since the day he forced Jimmy out of Valley Ranch, Jerry has one thought. Win his way or lose his way. As long as it’s his way! His way has created a brand unlike any in sports, and that has overshadowed not winning for pretty much the rest of his life since 95.

Now he knows the clock is winding down and he either has to go back and be the big aggressive “check signer”, or, keep doing things the same way and not win anything worth mentioning. What will he choose?

Will he add guys like Haley and Sanders to help Troy, Smith, and Irvin. Or will he keep singing “I did it my way” and bring in guys like Royce Freeman and Trent Sieg to help Dak and Ceedee.

Will he draft like Parsons, Tyler, OVO, or go after dudes like Taco and Mazi.

I have kids that might be your age. 18-27
They were brainwashed from birth to love the Cowboys. Now their babies are fans. And I always hear about me being a cult leader who forced them into this land of despair every year since they were born. I know it’s hard for your age to keep hanging on. Make a choice and commit to it! Go All In lol

We have to wait to see his direction and we should know within a month. Either way, Jerry will always reminds us. It’s the best entertainment on earth!!!

Jerry coined a saying, "deadlines make deals" !!!!!!!
Which makes no sense if you pay market price or above, but he thinks he is cool, and smart
waiting till last minute.
Plus it keeps everyone talking about the cowboys, good or bad lol he doesnt care just
keep talking !! and everyone does lol.
