They are waiting to pay him more later so they can look stupid like they always do.

[@grantmatteson1273]

As a cowboys fan. I couldn't agree more... Best recent example. Dak.. should've paid him right away when it was time too. Jerry is the thing holding us back. Wasted wittens good years... Wasted romos good years... Wasted wares good years.. it's a trend..Jerry couldn't put his pride aside with jimmy years ago. And he'll always pay the price for it

[@diehardeaglesfansince1994]

​@@grantmatteson1273I love jerry

[@innerspace56]

Speaking of "it gets more expensive while you needlessly wait" I think the Lions need to apply this logic to Amon Ra and Penei Sewell like yesterday..

[@user-rn9co7jc4t]

Oh for sure Especially those 2 and Aidan Hutchinson

[@Ivypoison23]

Definitely st brown. Sewell is most likely going to happen long after st brown because he’s got another year more on his contract

[@elscruffomcscruffy8371]

[@SIRJ1895]

This is daks last year as a cowboy. The market for him might be 60 mil. Micah might be 30 mil and CeeDee could be close to 30 mil. No way they are doing 100-120 mil on 3 players. That’s not sustainable.

[@BigDal8604]

[@zennozangetsu1164]

Salary cap mechanism

In theory paying a player early is cheaper, but two years later those guys are holding out and demanding for a contract bump anyway.

[@e.p.3900]

Not if you back load it

[@crazyman8472]

Aren’t they still way over the salary cap? 🤑

[@edwardndriskoll]

CD Lamb. Yes. What has the Cowboys done, nothing.

[@cremdeniro237]

Yes over pay other player that will never win a dame thing 😂😂😂😂 42-10

[@RedRocket415]

They said "bag" more time this week than I've said in my entire life.

[@atypicalturner8164]

Actually think it makes sense to wait on CD now it’s got to this point. He won’t get as much as Jefferson or chase… see what those guys get and he gets a chunk less.

[@Eaglesfan220]

He should get more than those guys In my opinion, He was by far the best WR last season 135 rec and almost 1800 yrds 12 TDs, Only player close is Tyreek. He's the clear #1 player on the Cowboys, It's crazy he isnt signed to an Extension yet. I wouldn't make this up especially as someone who hates the Cowboys

[@atypicalturner8164]

@@Eaglesfan220 he had a fantastic year for sure! 100% agree but a lot of that is scheme fit. But he isn’t the same calibre, film shows it. Regardless of the very impressive stats. Stats aren’t the most important thing to me though but I get where you’re coming from. He is a top player just not in the 1% of the 1% like chase, Jefferson and as you mentioned hill.

[@Eaglesfan220]

@@atypicalturner8164 I disagree but that's fine we have differing opinions. Regardless, Will be interesting to see what these WRs and several others get with extensions this year. I'm glad the Eagles locked up Devonta Smith Early.

[@DV87777]

Well.. I agree with an eagles fan for once LOL. Lamb has been more healthy and played just as well and even better than them 2 especially last year. Normally I would protect my hometown WRS over Lamb. But you're right

[@Eaglesfan220]

​@@DV87777 Agreed, Lamb his proven himself as a Top 3 WR. Playing games and waiting to pay your best player is just gonna cost more and piss him off, Can tell he loves being a Cowboy so pay the man.

[@Tmindful182]

The eagles were still a top 10 offense in Jalen hurts bad year. Shockingly

[@JohnRigby5011]

Ceedee wants more Lamb Chops!!

[@charlieb3943]

After CeeDee's first half tantrum in the playoff game that put Dallas out of the game you need to think twice what kind of player he will become once he gets the money

[@A.j.Harris]

No cowboys fan but Rich talking like his Jets are top tier 😂. If i was TJ id bring up all the problems the Jets have.

[@user-en9qd5nx8w]

Cowboys always seem to draft well, but then blow all their cap on players that don't deserve it, fail to resign guys that were valuable, and sit on their hands when free agency is going on.

[@HurrikaneBEA5T]

Dont disrespect The Raiders/another team when being asked if youre happy about getting a player. That literally had nothing to do with what you were asked

[@ThePjonka]

Im a niners fan and not sure how that was relevant whatsoever

[@HurrikaneBEA5T]

@@ThePjonka literally. Asked if he likes a player they might draft,and says were not the raiders😑🤦‍♂️ like if raiders draft someone im not gonna say were not the cardinals or etc because they draft a certain player type or attribute

More you wait, more you pay 😅

[@anaashb9838]

Wow, I can't believe I still have to explain this. Jerry doesn't have to do ANYTHING! Know why? He's NEVER, EVER going out of business. Know why? Because teams like the Jets, Cards, Lions, etc NEVER will either. Know why? Cuz the NFL cartel will just move the team to protect themselves.

[@danielpittijr6283]

Why pay him now? He isn't the difference maker and he isn't the reason they flop in the playoffs.

[@syminite1]

Because he earned it. Pay him.

[@elscruffomcscruffy8371]

The Long Snapper is the difference maker

[@bourbontrail565]

JJ is a Billionaire somehow. He’s going to make his Business Decisions about his employees on his timeline and everyone waiting and talking about it is keeping the cowboys relevant without doing anything.

[@elscruffomcscruffy8371]

Yet Cowboy's fans will continue to buy tickets and merchandise and support him. I blame the fans haha

[@kenzothecornishTV]

I hate the cowboys, but taomethinf tells me they win it all this year, cause the story now is they won't be better... Of course, I'd love it if they came last in the division

[@kennetttaft1175]

It's 2024... CeeDee deserves at least a $24M contract.

[@ninetails2052]

Did you ever stop to think that CeeDee is stalling? You know Justin Jefferson is waiting for a contract too. It's a showdown to see who will go first. Use your brain

[@user-rn9co7jc4t]

I think Jerry will pay Lamb and I also think he will wait for Parsons to play out another season after relieving some of that Dak cap But Lamb will get his money, Chill😂😂😂😂 Jerry is not a idiot

[@Jerid58]

Poor guy, he thinks the Cowboys organization makes better moves than the Raiders. 😂

[@mariosepulveda5214]

Why wait? For the draft, of course. Why pay if you can replace for a cheaper, less disgruntled, more naive/optimistic/ unaware of the reality, rookie?

[@nickh2935]

Is jerry paying y’all to constantly talk about an irrelevant team that’s not going to even make the playoffs?

[@victoriuswashington8901]

cd & dak are wildly overrated and will be overpaid. micah is inconsistent and shrinks in big games id wait to pay him. jerry will fold though

[@redstone5149]

Ceedee needs to take a discount. He doesn’t deserve to reset the market. He disappeared in the playoffs.

[@melroze]

[@yolodylan]

You get paid based off the regular season.. not the playoffs. Trust me I wish it was the other way around

Thread lightly on Jalen. All this negativity with just one bad season. Y’all just talk anything!!!!

[@dinkumthinkum4247]

In seventeen games Jalen couldn't hit 4k. When his legs go, he's finished.

[@mariosepulveda5214]

Jalen is the next Daniel Jones. Overachieved once with a lot of help of the roster, got paid, lose part of the roster, fall.

[@jay-r-raider3119]

[@Unbiased_72]

Trades will be rapid when JJ dumps #4 and #11 during the draft.

[@joelmartinez2278]

Eagles have only gotten well known names. Barkley is injury prone, Huff a one year wonder, White is overrated and pass his prime. CJ their only legitimate signing but coming off an injury.

[@thatllputmarzipaninyourpie3117]

Jerry Jones hates this Cowboys team and every player on it. That Green Bay performance destroyed any love he had for the Dak era. I can't say I blame him.
