You're the owner of the Cowboys, what moves do you make in 2023

[stuckindc]

Hiring Jerry would be a great move.. he built a dynasty!

No, Jimmy built a great dynasty

You really are clueless. The team Dr. Isn’t a Psychiatrist.

Yes! See? Even you akcnowledge they don’t have all the answers. It’s the reason they are powerless to prevent that from happening. Players have setbacks, delays, question marks on recovery all the time. It’s not always the doctor’s fault, different people and bodies react differently tm similar scenarios.

Pollard isn’t guaranteed to be as good as pre-injury in 2023. You could very well be paying him to have a recoup year for his 2024 team. Is he suddenly going to put up feature back numbers? Blow away his 2022 production? You’re paying him to. Will be hard to get 10m$ of return on a rotational RB.

It’s $10m. Listen, I get it. You’re a Philthy fan. You want to see the Cowboys fail.

For a RB that’s insane. He’s a top 10 highest paid RB in the league. Zero career 200 carry seasons. Zero career 250 touch seasons. 6 career starts. May miss time to start the season. And if you bring in another back or keep Zeke, he’ll continue being the highest paid change-of-pace back in nfl history.

 

[acr731]

I agree w everything but #6


I would want that man off my team asap

AL is an Eagles fan. If he was truly being honest with everyone here he would admit he wants Dak signed to a 15 year contract extension because he knows Dallas will never win anything with Dak still in the starting role. The NFCE basically becomes a 3 team race every year with Dak signed up long term.

And he was the key factor in having one of the best offenses in the NFL. You don’t have to start to be that effective. He had over a 1000 yards rushing, a 5.2 avg. 9 td’s. 39 receptions and another 3 td’s receiving. He’s not a change of pace RB anymore like he was early in his career. He‘s been the lead back for a couple years now.

 

[Cowboysheelsreds058]

Fire the GM first and foremost - the current one sucks arse. Nothing else will matter if you don't start there

LOL, the Horsemen

he had less carries than Zeke despite playing in more games, he is the backup. He is the less volume part of a rotation but is being paid to be the entire rotation. You can find replacement backs much easier than it will be for Pollard to replace his production elsewhere. Dumping that much money at the RB position is not a recipe for success, especially when it’s not a workhorse player.

 

[CouchCoach]

Since I would have owned the team for 34 years, I would be on my 5th GM and I would expect him to do that or I would be on my 6th GM in 2024.

10 mil is not a lot of money in regards to the cap.

 

[Coogiguy03]

I'd draft a QB to groom as a serious challenger and eventual replacement for Dak who is this teams biggest liability at this point. I'd take Hendon Hooker in the 2nd round.

first round I'd target WR or DT.

I'd sign a vet FA MLB and let Darth Vander hit the road.

I'd add a potential LG and OL depth in rounds 3 plus.

SERIOUS CHALLENGER AND NOT A PROJECT like a Ben Dinnuci!!!

 

[Coogiguy03]

Jerry acts like it is with the low ball offers to free agents

 

[Coogiguy03]

1. Cut Tyron Smith and Zeke
2. Franchise Pollard
3. Sign Wagner
4. Sign a 330lb DT in the 8-15m APY range
5. Sign a Guard in the 8-15m APY range
6. Bring back Ty Hilton
7. Draft RB, WR, TE, CB with 4 of our 5 top picks

Plus various other low-cost things to fill out the roster (LS, Kicker, etc) and restructures to make it work cap-wise.

1. My primary metric would be to get as much salary cap on the field as often as possible. That means no injury-prone players and a focus on paying players that see regular snaps.
2. Pollard is a bridging player, I'd look to pay him while I develop two drafted running backs as a succession plan (One early, one late)
3. Wagner adds leadership and experience to the young LB room, I would also draft a guy to fill out the roster
4. The DT is needed to anchor the defense and eat up double teams, this is critical IMO to allow the talent on the edges to succeed
5. A guard to give me a solid starting offensive line, hoping Walezko can be the swing tackle and Farniok can cover guard/center.
6. Looking at the draft and how I think it will fall I could see the following:
   • Rd 1 CB
   • Rd 2 TE
   • Rd 3 WR
   • Rd 4 RB
   • Rd 5 QB
   • Rd 5 RB
   • Rd 5 LB

Ideally, it would be a CB or WR in the first round but it really depends on how the draft falls.

Not bad sir

This is the place to be

It’s hoppin’

I think a part of you likes the Cowboys!
Your welcome to join us, the Eagles can always be your second team if need be !

Jerry’s an idiot.

 

[Aerolithe_Lion]

10 mil is not a lot of money in regards to the cap.

It is when the context of position is put into play. Would you pay that to a punter? A long snapper? A backup QB? It is funny money for a rotational RB. He is good but not irreplaceable. That money could go to so many better places

What is your definition of lead back? Because you say he was the lead back the last couple of years yet Zeke still was on the field for more plays and had more touches both seasons. I get he was a bigger part of the offense simply because he was averaging more per touch, but that doesn't make him the lead back. Was he more important to the team? Sure, you will not get a single argument for me on that point. However, if anything it makes him a part of a running back committee. And while I do love having Pollard on our team, I do not get the logic of paying a running back 10.9 million dollars at the point. I think it would have been better to tender him 1st round non-exclusive at $6.4 million and see what he is offered and either match it or get a first rounder (but that's just me).

It’s ok to agree to disagree.

He was much more effective than Zeke especially last year and going forward will be as well. Hell, Zeke May not even be on the team.
