Maybe they will get rid of the salary cap and our ding dong leaders can do what they do best, throw more money at the problem. Then we can go back to winning super bowls.

We should have never given him that contract. We actually should have drafted Ramsey or Stanley anyway and this whole mess would have been avoided.

In the total sum equation that Jerry uses to calculate franchise performance,
game day wins are very low on the priority list.

It is uncommon.

What's uncommon? It's quite common to see extensions handed out with 2 years left on rookie contracts. Aaron Donald and Khalil Mack were going to do the same thing with 2 years left on their contracts. In order for it to be a hold out they have to be under contract.

But forget all of that. The reason people keep bringing it up is because they think those 2 years disappear and are replaced with a new, much higher paying contract. It's a common misconception.

Jaylon Smith
Tank - reworked but still...
Zeke
Dak

Massive mistakes contract wise. Jaylon was cringe worthy at the time

I thought that Jaylons contract was Jerry’s way of trying to stick it to Zeke and get him to budge a bit..

They also fall in love with "core" players to a fault. The only guy I can think of that Jerry liked but Stephen didn't(JMO) was Dez Bryant. They never touched his contract once in terms of restructuring.
But for certain guys like Romo, Tyron Smith, Sean Lee etc guys who still showed talent even though their bodies were breaking down they still kept the faith and kept restructuring and hoping the next year would be the year they would stay healthy.

Stephen made the moronic radio comments about Gurley's contract and that being the floor.
They restructured Zekes deal twice already.

The Eagles traded up for Wentz but then realized years later he sucked so they sold at a decent return. Not quite a top 2 pick back but at least a 1st+.
They sort of planned ahead by drafting Hurts prior so at least they had an in house option in case Wentz couldn't redeem himself.
Smart teams give themselves options as much as possible.
The NFL is a violent game and drop offs in performance are not uncommon.
