    Part of the problem is Hurney waits around until they are FA's to sign another deal. Maybe they didn't redo anyones deal last year because JR said no, let's hold off on that. If they would have redid Johnson's and WIlliams' contracts last season, you know it would have been much cheaper than now. Going forward, this organization needs to do a better job at identifying who the "core players" are and renewing them sooner, rather than later, jmho.

    That is a good point. Since they did not lock up DW I thought he was gone. CJ had a break out year so I guess it makes more sense to have waited on him.

    I really dont think hurney has the power to decide when and when to not sign or re-sign. I think Hurney does what he's told.

    The bad news of the Cowboys releasing Columbo, Davis, R. Williams, K. Brown and M Barber, they have $20.9 of dead money in 2012 :banana: ouch! what is that 20% of the projected cap?

    Yeah this goes back to us purging last year in an uncapped year.

    It hurt like shit, but we were in bad shape in alot of ways. It was a good year to do it. Dallas will be fucked next year.

    Yep. Dallas thought they were closer to playoffs and didn't make any hard decisions then. No one had the idea we would suck as much as we did last year but at least we used the uncapped year to purge bad contracts

    There were only three teams interested in DeAngelo, and the Broncos made a public statement that the money was way out of their league the day before he signed. CJ also said that what Atlanta discussed for him was nowhere near what the Panthers offered, so who were we bidding against? The whole idea of re-signing your own players is to get them for at most what other teams are offering, not to offer vastly more than anyone else. Hurney has consistently overspent on players throughout his time here, and doing that cripples your cap. Now he can't afford to bring in anyone new to help a 2-14 team.

    Very, very doubtful. Hurney is also probably the only currently employed GM who would have offered that much for a 28 year old running back.
