The Cowboys are ruining the league

Why?

 

Been a playoff choker so far. I was also never a fan of Garret as a HC. He may have been holding him back as well. Hopefully that's not we're witnessing in Buffalo right now.

Terrible comparison.  Garrett started his first three years as head coach 8-8 with an already built roster with Romo as his quarterback.  He had only three double digit winning seasons in 10 years as head coach with Romo/Prescott.  McDermott has four in six years.  Garrett made the playoffs five times in ten years with only two wins.  McDermott made it in five of his first six years with four wins.  Right now McDermott is closer to an early career Bill Cowher than a Jason Garrett.

The contracts Jerrah keeps throwing out to guys is killing this league.  Now signing his RT to a 5 year, 86M+ deal, with 50M guaranteed.  He continues to go over the top, for guys that are no where near the top of the league, what will he pay Parsons?  The first 300M LB?  The guy needs to be put out to pasture.

If you're going to slightly overpay offensive tackle isn't a bad place to do it being a premier position.  Giving Zeke that deal is why they pry don't have at least a conference championship appearance the last few years (and the first time since the mid 90's).

I thought the Browns ruined the league with Watson contract?

I'm a Mets fan. Cohen angered many with his drunken sailor spending. Got us all the way to last place. Go for it Jerry and hope you get same results😂

@Gugny hit hardest

Even if it doesn’t work for them, it sets the new price for the position on the market.  THAT becomes the issue.  Look at Chris Jones, the idiot Rams paid Donald 31M, the next highest paid player at the time was around 20, now 24+ is the really good player price and jones wants 27+.  Yeah the cap is going up, but it’s not going up to the point where you can pay a QB 50M, a DT 27M, a DE 30M, WR1 25M, RB 13M, CB 25M etc. 

 

You’re missing a few things:

- The economics of players’ compensation in the NFL is pretty simple. As the NFL makes more and more money the increasing cap dollars flow to the difference makers (and to other places where there is scarcity). Aaron Donald is worth $30M/year because his contributions to adding wins absolutely are worth that. Also true FQBs are still underpaid at $50M/year when weighted against their contributions. 

- Dallas is 17th in cash spending this season. What team is #1 you ask? That’s our very own Buffalo Bills. LINK Cash is the most useful and telling metric for how teams are spending. Cap space and contracts can be manipulated to a large degree, but (except for a couple of very minor exceptions) cash always hits the cap. 

- No singular contract that is an outlier will impact negotiations on others much. Watson’s contract didn’t get any other QB a 5 year fully guaranteed deal.

Steele is really good the cowboys have three very good to excellent linemen with Martin, Steele, and Smith their number one pick from last year. They have issues at center and with Tyron Smith being on his last legs at left tackle which by that time should make him an easy mark for Von Miller…and when you pressure Dak mistakes happen
