Just to clarify, does this story refer to 2012 cap space only?

I ask because I also read the Cowboys have $17 million in unused 2011 cap space that they can roll oeer into 2012.

$29 million sounds like a decent budget to address a couple of major deficiencies as well as signing Laurent Robinson to a new contract.

First off can we get some people that really know football 2 comment. I think what Jerry needs to do is stop listening to everybody else and do it his way. We fielded better teams when he was calling all the shots. I’m tiered of hearing the Jimmy Johnson thing because how much success did he have when he left the Cowboys!!! Jerry said himself that one of the worst things he did was listening to Chan Gailey n not drafting Randy Moss. Don’t get me wrong, you have to have a good team to make it n go deep n the playoffs but u also need a little luck also. IJS!!!!

cowboys282.and who is also sitting at home during playoffs.you have to be somewhere to talk crap and the cowgirls are no better than the eagles or redskins.Dallas by far is the dumbest team next to washington there is in the NFL.Why?Because the owner needs to back down and let a GM take over.this guy knows nothing about football.sort of like the Dearly departed Al Davis.The GIRLS will never be more than a middle of the division team until mr jones decides to back off.No longer Americas team.No longer even a playoff team.

Dear Jerry,

Please do not cut Terrance Newman.

Thank You,

-This Redskins fan and all of the fans from every team in the NFC East.

Wow coming from a deadskin fan, how did you enjoy hearing Andre carter and Carlos Rogers in pro bowl or devin Thomas winning super bowl. Skins always sign wrong talent and let great player leave, oh yeah has Portis doing cause bailey is Also still a pro bowler
——————————–
Oh boy this cowgirl fan wants to go there. I don’t know what impact if any Devin Thomas had in the Super Bowl, in the game before the Super Bowl he recovered two fumbles that got them there true. Same could be said for Flozell Adams whom y’all cut and the Steelers got one year out of him in which he landed more playoff wins than he ever got playing in Dallas and he even played in the Super Bowl.

How did you like Chris Canty tearing it up for the Giants in the Super Bowl? I bet you want Anthony Fasano back instead of Bennett. And as much crap as he talked, T.O. even now, is still better than Roy Williams, that was just dumb.

Now, I know our owner has done some bone headed crap to our franchise, but he’s finally turned it over to football folks. Your drunk owner is still running the draft board, whom to do this day, has only had one good personell move, and that was hiring Jimmy Johnson. To put it in perspective, with all the jacked up things Snyder has done to the Redskins, the FA, the coaches, the trading away of draft picks, etc. Since Snyder has taken over the Redskins, he’s won more playoff games than Jerrah. The Eagales and Giants are the beacons of the division, but we’re climbing out of that pit we dug ourselves and will catch up in a couple seasons. Only thing is, as we’re climbing out the cowgirls are climbing down further and further. At some point you have to realize you’re going in the wrong direction and that you have to stop, turn around and even ask for directions. Snyder did just that, will Jerry?

Jerry always knew he had made the right move when he brought Stephen along to “take your kid to work day” a few seasons ago. Good work little Stephen!

I can see them going after Drew Brees and Sean Payton since he’s already got a home in Dallas.

They made the sacrifices this year in the offensive line by playing a bunch of rookies and it showed. So what was “reported” to be cap problems for next year were really this year.

Spend it all on surgery to keep JJs face on!

They tried that, and just like in the movie “Face Off” Romo is Jerry and Jerry is really Romo.

Dallas will not be looking to steal anyone’s Wide Outs, or other skill positions on offense except maybe back up QB.

Saints should worry that we steal Nicks and that’s about it.

We will prob draft Decastro and Barron in the 2nd round, and look for us to trade back up for a corner.

FA isn’t that exciting this year.

Cowboys282: says. unlike last years self proclaimed Dream Team . Hold it right their a nothing ass back up quarterback said that who in a few weeks won’t even be on the team . The media ran with it . Then he says ( the Eagles spent money to feel holes not needed ) I find Babin, Jenkins, Aso, and Drc ,Evan Mathis was needed to fill each one of their positions. I do agree the rest including the idiot Young who opened his mouth was not needed . Hey guess what the ones that weren’t needed signed one year contracts therefore won’t be on the team next year . All that without giving up all our draft picks like the deadskins so don’t put us in that category. Next he says ( no reason to overpay for top free agents like some teams) Isn’t that what you talking about your team doing this year ? Your team has too many holes to fill they are just plain garbage . Another thing the difference between Philly and the Redskins we got just as much cap as yall do this year It’s called good money management, and like I said before football has been played long before this superbowl era . Last year is over, your championships of the past are over in fact the only team that is allowed to talk is the Giants . Fact the eagles overpriced free agents might not have won the championship but they beat yall twice last year , and killed your playoff hopes by taking Romo out kind of hard to throw The ball with your hand looking like that isn’t it. I know the last time philly won anything they were called championships not superbowls ,but isn’t championships what the call the superbowl now .Hmm funny all these cowboy fans thinking they can win the division hyped up again. Every year yall are suppose to win the NFC east . So jerry says he’s going to spend money and you think he can fill all the holes on that team . He would have to keep Ware ,Murray, and Sean Lee then scrap the rest of the team. Not going to happen this year or for years to come period.

Not much to say about the article. 90% of the league is ‘ready to spend’. Doesn’t mean they will.

To some of the posters on this site allow me to explain something for you…PEYTON is the quarterback, PAYTON is the coach. I have seen this on several articles now. I know it is difficult seeing as how they are both so new to the league.

if D Jackson’s get’s away from us . as much as I hate to say it he will be wearing the star. if that happens ( yea eagle fan coming out in me) then I can only hope he will actually be hurt like so many people think he has been for us…. he reallyhas NOT. Keep 10 in Philly at least one more year! don’t listen to the haters hated on this talent!!! sign the franchise tag please action jackson.

They should pursue Calais Campbell. They should avoid Cortland Finegan…I’d rather lose with class than win with that jerk.

Take the best Guard in the first round and continue to build a massive line…

Then get Finnegan and Mario Williams on the FA market, draft a safety in the second round, and continue to draft defense.

Get Austin and Murray healthy…

That alone will make a huge difference….

Eli was able to win with a beat up oline. The giants were shuffling the oline every week up until the end of the season. So I don’t think you can place all the blame on Dallas oline.

I have heard plenty of analyst say the talent on Dallas is overrated and that is a reflection of ownership. There is probably only one player on their roster that would start on most teams and that is Ware. Maybe Whitten but he is getting old.

Doesn’t matter. Giants lost like 6 in a row and won the SB. Eagles were a mess this year. Their QB was constantly injured and they still ended up with a better record than the Cowboys.

Redskins will end up having a better record than the Cowboys.

Jerry Jones is a good GM, get over it already.
He’s brought in tons of good players, one Roy Williams trade doesn’t take everything away but fans and haters of the Cowboys are incapable of being rational.
