It seems like a lot of these posts are solidly against the Cowboys brass in terms of the fact that they are not willing to just give out large contracts every time one of their players asks for one. Whether you want to acknowledge it or not there is a salary cap that has to be dealt with. To the one readers point our spending on free agents has not been all that great, but not because of a lack of wanting to spend the money. Every year because of large contracts we are up against the cap and the team also needs to have a little bit of capital in reserve to sign players when injuries happen. The question I have is where is our return on investment for these big contracts that are being given to these supposed great players. Are they turning up the intensity and making plays when it counts in the big game with a chance to make it to the next level of the playoffs? There were a number of chances to make it to the playoffs last year and through a completely embarrassing lack of championship effort and no real game strategy the opportunity was blown . Now our players are coming back wanting top level contracts because of some stats that are worthless because they sat at home watching another playoffs on tv Lastly I thought negotiations were between 2 parties where there was some give and take on each side to get a contract done. It seems like it has been only one side that keeps throwing out offers, while the other is not making counter offers. No wonder this agent has so many players who are franchise tagged and do not have long term contracts this year.
