Jerry's Cowboys Should Sign These Five Stars Immediately
Jerry's Cowboys Should Sign These Five Stars Immediately originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
FRISCO - We're speaking more about philosophy here than we are logistics … and as much about mindset as we are money.

But having established that?
Yes, we pretty much mean it when we say that Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys have five superstars waiting to get paid …
And that this franchise needs to update. It's thinking and accelerate. It's action and sign. All five of them as soon as possible…
Like, today.
CowboysCountry.com's Landon Holifield is offering up some disturbing financial facts about the differences between the way the Philadelphia Eagles and the Cowboys do their salary cap business.
Two critical points …
One, the gold-standard Eagles have 10 players making $10 million or more. Dallas has half that.

Two, the Eagles "use the credit card'' to manipulate the cap and have a whopping $452 million in future void year allocations. Dallas has .. just $44 million in future void years.
As Lando points out, the Cowboys are simply refusing to use every tool (or loophole) available to win now.
Our Mike Fisher, in the Fish Report video below, pushes for change.
Immediately.
"The salary cap is simply about a budget and therefore 'Cap Hell' is a myth,'' Fish says. "The Cowboys have five stars who are soon due new deals. Waiting ends up costing Dallas; spending now - with the 'future credit card' - means more affordable contracts.

"Want to beat the cap? Want to rally the locker room? Want to solidify the future? Pull into Jerry's office Micah Parsons, Tyler Smith, DaRon Bland and George Pickens and Brandon Aubrey and offer them their inevitable top-of-the-market deals. ...
"But do it now, Jerry.''
Could this literally be accomplished? All the guys? All the money? All in one day?
Logistically, that's obviously a toughie.
But should it be the mindset of Jerry and Stephen Jones and their roster-building cap-management work?
The Philadelphia Eagles know that answer. The Joneses should, too.

"These thunderstorm complexes will sink to the south, with the greatest threat across the Metroplex expected to occur between 5-10 p.m. Breezy conditions are expected to arrive out ahead of these storms in the late afternoon, with gusts around 20 mph.

"Strong to severe storms are possible this afternoon and evening with threats of large hail and thunderstorm wind gusts between 55-65 mph," the statement said in closing.

Advertisement Kidd, who played the final season of his NBA career with the Knicks during their 54-win campaign under Mike Woodson in 2012-13, led the Mavericks to the NBA Finals one year ago.

Kidd also had been considered by the Knicks and was reported to be the runner-up when Thibodeau was tabbed as their head coach in 2020.
