2024 Cowboys Free Agency Thread

Something like "And I get it, that is not up to our standard either".

Oh. Well, when you put it that way, it makes me so darn angry.

Excuse me while I go find a table to flip.

Yep, or just "We haven't had enough success in the playoffs."

Throwing in "to their satisfaction" implied that's not his opinion.

Shit. I am beyond the anger stage, this is the soft chuckle stage of regret.

I guess on the scale of grief that falls at acceptance.

That's pretty sad when the best defense of this ownership is that we should be apathetic.

That's certainly not what they should want, because that's when fans stop spending money.

Player acquisition is 365 days a year, 7 days a week around these parts ok. Don't restrict us to timelines when good players are actually available.

I have not spent a dime towards the profitability of the franchise via apparel, game tickets, etc. since 1997.

That is when I lost that idiot part of me that thought somehow we will be great again.

I know, who gives a shit, Jerry Jones doesn't. I get that.

But I do pride myself in not contributing.

He doesn't have the slick tongue that Jerry has to try to confuse and market to the masses. A snake oil salesman is what Jerry is. Imagine someone who has none of that sale ability but with the awful qualities of an inability to run a franchise correctly. Joe fan will absolutely turn on him far more easily than Jerry.

At least Jerry has a sort of hillbilly charm and charisma. Stephen has neither.

What Goof Son is trying to articulate in his own fucked up way is that hey, we will be ready.

What he is getting at is what we will likely do. Approach camp cuts, maybe even a few bigger deals over the weekend with a few guys.

This is like old Plan B free agency to them. Except the problem is they are not very responsive and think timing is a better ally than simply being more aggressive and engaged.

Remember when people used to tell us that we'd be in good hands once Stephen took over?

Good times.

He absolutely has no fucking charm about him at all.

As much as I have misdirected some very hateful words at Jerry Jones, I would never say you know what, I wouldn't listen to the fucker talk just for the entertainment alone.

Not this little asshole.

You might as well have Old Lady Gene talk about the fuckin' artwork.

I think you were part of that crowd.

I'm telling you guys, Stephen thinks he's been doing a great job. His baby of "draft and develop" has been a big success to him, and he doesn't plan to change anything.

He loves him some him.

It is odd how he refers to his father by his first name and almost like they have no fucking relationship at all.

But make no mistake, he has an ego.

He too wants to be respected as smart and not just a by-product of his powerful father.

Market not friendly to Tyron?

I think the Deion signing near-fistfight tells it all. Jerry was the gambler, the shiny-toy guy. Stephen is the total opposite. And he wants to prove his way works.

I think in his head he's already proven it works, so why change now?

 

[Genghis Khan]

Does he have a popped collar?

I think Stephen just figured out how to be good most years and rake in the cash. No part of him wants to risk down years for the chance at a championship. He doesn't want the risk of a roller coaster.

Yeah, he lacks the charm.
