Managing the cap and Dallas Cowboys don't usually go together
You mean the cap expert Stephen doesnt know what he is doing? Shocked.
Dallas is #1 in the league in terms of least money spent per win in the league since 2014. The only other teams that are even close are NE (from the years when Brady willingly took a massive discount because his wife was one of the richest women on earth) and KC (who racked up a ton of wins on Mahomes rookie deal).
They are #6 in terms of average cap space at the start of FA in that same time.
They are one of only 5 teams in the least decade that didn't have to cut a player prior to the cap deadline specifically to get under the number.
So Stephen does know what he is doing with the cap, cool. Where has this gotten them? 5 playoff appearances in 10 years if memory serves. Massive deals to players who aren't even on the roster or were washed. Romo, Zeke, Jaylon Smith (lolz), Gallup. They have 3 healthy DEs on the roster that have NFL experience. Trading Cooper for a bag of chips. They have done a really good job at 80% of their job but the 20% they miss it is really really bad.
6 playoff appearances and 5 division titles in 10 years is exceptional in the salary cap era.
The cooper trade was bad, but that had nothing to do with the cap. That was Jerry and Stephen letting their personal dislike of Cooper's practice habits override their better judgement. Not good, but not evidence of poor cap management.
Zeke and Romo were top 3 and top 5 players at their positions at the time they signed those deals.
Gallup tore his ACL after the deal and never recovered
Jaylon Smith literally made the pro bowl and second team all pro before signing his deal
