Especially in the cap era. I think that’s the thing that really damages Snyder and Jones. They live in a world where they can just throw money at problems and make them go away. Any problem, any amount of money. In a hard cap sport it’s just not like that. So they tend to throw too much money in one area and the team suffers. The Cousins thing was a classic example. I can see not being sure Cousins was good enough for a long term contract, I can even see tagging him one year on a “prove it or lose it”. But the second tag, with the penalty that ensues from consecutive tagging?! That was just bone headed. You can’t throw that much at a player because you’re not sure, the talent you don’t get to sign damages the team long term.
I was hoping the Cowboys weren’t going to redo Zeke’s contract. I was hoping he’d sit out the year while his replacement gets 1,000 yards.
