Look at dez, scandrick, Terrance Williams and the list goes on. We can never trade them because of the dumb contract we gave them.
You think Scandrick and TWIll were overpaid?

I hit like on this post after he first sentence.Crawford was another big mistake by the FO. He was never a dynamic, big play pro.
They tend to overpay their drafted players who just aren't that good when compared to
other similar players in the NFL. I agree that they are drafting better, though not perfect.
The team has a short window where they have to sign Martin, Dak, and Zeke to their
next big contracts. Over 2 decades of mistakes and poor management have lowered the
Cowboys to middle of the pack and they are likely to stay there.
There odds are sure as h--- better than ours. Look at there coach and then ours, I just dropped my mic, as biggie smalls sings "more money more problems".

Crawford was one of those guys phony football junkies like broadus or whatever would act like he does all these things that common fans just don’t understand
Bears went to the Super Bowl in 2007. they lost to the Colts.And don't know if you remembered, but in 1988-89 there were lots of folks who said the Cowboys might never win another Super Bowl, but 4 years later, bingo! They did it.
If there's one thing that the salary cap has done, it's let poor teams go to super teams in a couple of years, and super teams fall apart. Even before that, in 1985 the Bears were widely considered to be headed for dominance after that season, with a 46-10 dismantling of the Patriots, but they haven't been back since.
Are there odds better? Sure, but the post was that we'd be watching the Eagles pile up more SB trophies, and in the modern NFL, that's just not nearly as likely as it was years ago, when the Packers, Browns, Steelers, etc. were in the championship game, and winning, for a decade or more...

gotcha.I was talking about the 1985 Bears team, nobody from that team was still there 22 years later.
Should have said "but the '85 Bears team didn't return to the SB the next year or any year after that with most of the same players on the team"...

His injuries crippled us, not his salary....When Tony was signed to his last contract it was chancy but reasonable. Only haters and idiots think otherwise. you do realize that 8.5 million is not that big a deal in a cap of 177 million or do you fail basic math?
not worth their contract which is the reason why we have to release players instead of trading them for something instead of releasing them for nothing.
I like your post but just no faith in this coaching staff at all. I have seen this lifetime movie before and can't get my wife to turn it.

On TWill, I basically agree on performance but I have a lower opinion of him than most.
Scandricks salary is cheap but they dont need him. Its players like Tyron Smith who have soaked up the extra space with Jerry restructuring. Tyron, Witten and Dez are the main culprits. Combine that with the 12 mil counting against the cap this year with Romo and theres your answer. Tyron has a bad back and isnt the player he was and now Jerry is has restructured Frederick OMG and is getting ready to give Martin a kings ransom. Too dam much money tied up in the oline. Thats why Dak isnt the answer! The QB is supposed to be the star who elevates everyone else on offense but its the other way around in Dallas. They need to get a QB that can perform with the team without having 100 million dollar offensive line. And best RB in the league!! Then they can allocate a good portion of money into the defense. Tyron Smith is the biggest boat anchor around the Cowboys money problems.Millions in dead money for Romo and others. Bad contracts, overpaying marginal players and sticking with players
past the age of 30. Now you have older players like Dez, Witten, and Scandrick sucking money off the cap for
less than optimum play. Until the FO manages the team more like NE, the Cowboys will continue to struggle.
What are some of the reasons Dallas doesn't have a lot of cap space?
It feels that Dallas has had salary cap issues for many years and would have finally solved the issue by now. Most other teams seem to be well off.

There's always the unknown - is he not very good or is the coaching staff not using him correctly?
