5 Years $30 Extension For Garrett

Well he finally got something good out of Romo in the play-offs, so I guess there is that!

1 good year and they pay him that much wow. Lets see what a 1st place schedule feels like next year. Back to 8-8 or 9-7. Dallas can have him and keep him.

this from a fan of a team that has been one of the worst run messes in years. how many guys you got on the police blotter now? good luck with that shit mess and a QB that has already reached his high level of potential.

Dallas did turn a corner this year ... So definitely it was the right move... I"m wondering about Dez now, do they franchise him ? Because there are some teams that would drop $ for him right now... In a BIG way... Does Dallas have the cap space to keep him around ? He's arguably the best receiver in the game right now...

wouldn't be wise to tag Dez. Jerry in his infinite wisdom already threw that idea out there a few months ago and Dez wasn't thrilled.

I think of this every time Jerruh makes one of these moves

Wondering why exactly anyone here really cares?

Tell me what the issue is if Jerry signs this contract and then next year we go 6-10 and Jerry fires Jason. So? Does it hurt the team? No.

So why does anyone give two shits what a coach is being paid per year?

Without a doubt there is cap space for him. Dallas can keep Dez, Murray, Carter, McClain and anyone else they want.

The Cowboys easily have the toughest free-agent decisions on the board because of the salary cap. They are right at the number now and have to somehow figure out how to retain both DeMarco Murray and Dez Bryant.

One can be franchise tagged, but both of them could cost as much as $20 million to keep together...that's per year, mind you. And this is still a team that needs to solve some issues on defense.

You have to figure Jerry Jones will find out how to keep both megastars who are coming off huge years, perhaps by restructuring with Tony Romo. It won't be pretty with how the Cowboys address the rest of the team, though. The team will have to release some other guys or continue to put itself in salary-cap hell by deferring the pain down the road.


I copy and pasted this obviously... Cap is clearly and issue..

First place schedule? You mean all 2 of those games that are based on where you finish in your division?

2 games can make a huge difference. Just look no further than the last 2 years

Philly had to play @Green Bay while Dallas played @Chicago in 2014 thanks to finish order
likely a 2 game swing that would have made Philly champs

Dallas had to pay @New Orleans while Philly played @Tampa Bay in 2013 thanks to finish order
likely a 2 game swing that would have made Dallas champs

Two games can make or break a season.
Take the standings in the NFL every season and flip even 1 game. It radically changes things.
This is not 162 games. It is a tiny 16 game season. Every game matters a lot.

5 Year $ 30 Extension For Garrett


A 30 dollar contract? Damn JJ is getting cheap!

 

[Iggloo]

The bigger move is retaining the assistants under Jerry's puppet coach. And locking Jerry in a closet again next draft to take another lineman and really get Dallas headed in the right direction.

Its a noteworthy contract extension, hence the discussion.

I think it is interesting because a large number of Cowboy fans were asking for Garretts head the past couple of years. Now, all is good. I guess that's what a 12 win season will do for you.

Great move, Garrett clearly had a plan and we're starting to show the fruits of this plan. Football is a long process, you have to keep a coach in place for at least 5yrs.
