Look what just happened to the Seahawks...had to let go of Clark b/c of Wilson's contract and we might have been in the same boat had we dealt with Dak's contract first
Totally agree with your statement which is why managing this cap is so crucial...Patriots handle it like masters b/c Brady gets it regardless of what his wife does!!
yup and Brady understands his success is dependent upon having pieces around him and knows he can't win by himself. He'll print money for the rest of his life because of his success on the field which is partly due to his willingness to take a lower salary (
he's currently paid 17th in the NFL ). Had he deservedly demanded to be the #1 paid player in the league throughout his career, he might not have more than 2 Super Bowl wins (And Belichik probably would have traded him).
If jeri was the "marketing genius" all the dumbass donkeys say he is, he would get virtually every player to sign for less because they will make more money in endorsements and outside of football than they will anywhere else EVEN when the team sucks and if they ever won a super bowl again, almost every player on the team would be printing money. Kenny Gant was famous for running around like a shark on special teams and got a huge contract from Tampa Bay because of the Cowboys mystique. Almost every player had their own talk show back in the 90's, it was crazy.
There's also no income tax in Texas and real estate is still cheap compared to places like NYC.
If the buffoons that own this team had any sense and ability to sell, EVERY player could be convinced to take less in Dallas not just for the above but also for access to the Cowboy Bus, Yacht, plane, helicopter stadium, notoriety, fame, etc, etc.
Dallas should be doing what New England does every year but the albatross of an owner will always hold the team back
