"All Jerry wants to do is win at all costs."Jerry doesn't like paying HCs a lot unless he needs a new stajium built.

Well the other problem is Payton is under contract. So Jerry can't tell him now he wants him without it being tampering. And Payton isn't going to opt out not knowing if Jerry has a HC spot for him."All Jerry wants to do is win at all costs."
It does, but this is Jerry, who brags about having an ancient pickup at this duck hunting lodge and always turning out the lights when he leaves a room.It seems crazy to me that a man who would spend a small fortune if there was no cap would draw a line in the sand with a coaches contract where there are no restrictions. Honestly with the salary cap the biggest difference between teams over a period of time is the coach.
Because the focus will be on Payton and not Jerry.It seems crazy to me that a man who would spend a small fortune if there was no cap would draw a line in the sand with a coaches contract where there are no restrictions.

Interesting that it would be him when he just agreed to be the OC of the Jags. How could we even get him as OC here? He'd need a promotion.Most seem to think it was DeFillipo.
I would absolutely give the Saints draft picks for Payton.Payton is signed for the next two years and I sure as fuck don't want to give the Saints any draft picks.
I think the article was indicating that the person they met with took a gig AFTER meeting with the Cowboys.Interesting that it would be him when he just agreed to be the OC of the Jags. How could we even get him as OC here? He'd need a promotion.
How would the NFL know about any contact? I’m sure neither person would tell them.Well the other problem is Payton is under contract. So Jerry can't tell him now he wants him without it being tampering. And Payton isn't going to opt out not knowing if Jerry has a HC spot for him.
Drunk Jerry can't keep his mouth shut and if Sean Payton made the move I'm sure it would be suspicious. But yeah I mean they could. Tampering goes on with players too I'm sure through back channels.How would the NFL know about any contact? I’m sure neither person would tell them.
Does tampering apply to coach contracts? It may just involve player contracts. I've never head a team punishing for tampering with a coach contract.How would the NFL know about any contact? I’m sure neither person would tell them.
It does, I found the rule. You have to get permission first and the head coachs team can't still be playing.Does tampering apply to coach contracts? It may just involve player contracts. I've never head a team punishing for tampering with a coach contract.
No, he wouldn't. Although Dallas is usually tight against the cap, it's mainly due to the odd things they do to "manage" the cap.It seems crazy to me that a man who would spend a small fortune if there was no cap would draw a line in the sand with a coaches contract where there are no restrictions.

The reason he was tight against the cap in the past is because he spent the money at one point. But those are the long term effects of Romo's contract among others. We are finally past that which is why we should have a ton of cap space. Of course Lawrence, Cooper and Dak will eat that up quickly. You're talking probably 36 mil or more just between Cooper and Lawrence on average.As far as actual spending on player salaries, Dallas is near the bottom of the league.

The Jones family cares far more about profit than actually winning.
That is why I put "manage" in caps. With all their restructures, they are continually pushing a pile of dead money year after year. Dead money counts against the cap which means less you can spend on a year to year basis. We have data showing they are among the bottom third of the league in spend since 2013. That's a long time to be "salary cap constrained"The reason he was tight against the cap in the past is because he spent the money at one point.

If there were no cap restrictions I have no doubt Jerry would splurge.
Or that they realized you can't afford big money in free agency and maintain your roster under the current cap. So they pick and choose wisely. It all comes down to how you deal with the salary cap.So, it's either one of two things. They are trying to be smart, although somewhat clumsily in my opinion, or they're just happy having a sort of competitive team that fills the stadium and allows them to keep profits high.
Based upon the things they've done over the last decade or so, I think winning is secondary.
They aren't even spending big money. They just flat out aren't spending money. Bottom third of the league since 2013.Or that they realized you can't afford big money in free agency and maintain your roster under the current cap. So they pick and choose wisely.
