Cowboys need to shave millions by Tuesday

So save the story for Wednesday. This we know about most teams already.

Shouldn't be too hard. They've been shaving millions off their fans for years.

Amen!

Of course $5 million of that they were screwed out of by choirboy.

Does the front office payroll get included in this? Including JJ's salary?

Pretend you're the govt and put in x% decrease across the board to everyone's salary... :)

The cowboys should just suck it up for a year. It was playing around with contracts that got them in this spot, which is normal if you have guys you really want to keep, but they did it to keep together 8-8 teams. Year after year. They can make this short term problem a long term situation.

Nah, they are in this spot because of some recent cuts with other players + the cap penalty issued by the NFL.

Jerry likes pricey free agents, so Dallas will always be up against the cap year after year.

IF they can hit on young talent vs veterans being signed, it gets easier.

I think you will see that this offseason...meaning less "splashes" and more solid under-the-radar moves.

You could be right.

I hope so.

During the Garrett regime, we have seen good picks like Tyron Smith, Dez Bryant, Mo Claiborne, Sean Lee, Bruce Carter, and Demarco Murray all become solid.

We have unknown "potential" in Dwayne Harris, Cole Beasley, Barry Church, Matt Johnson and Tryonne Coleman...

This gives one hope it can still happen.

Just pray he (Jerry) avoids the Joey Galloway/Roy Williams deals...

LOL

As long as a Jones runs the football side - things will be always be chaos!

Maybe, maybe not...

There are well run organizations making cuts right now to get under...the Steelers being one...

The Redskins hired a good GM years ago and are still in cap hell.

Jerry gets more attention because of the personality he is and team he owns.

The Boys should just suck it up... instead of just sucking?
