Dallas Cowboys proprietor Jerry Jones talks loads.
Once you speak loads, you virtually at all times say one thing that comes throughout as fairly silly.
As Michael Scott as soon as famously mentioned: “Typically I will begin a sentence and I do not even know the place it is going. I simply hope I can discover it alongside the way in which.”
That is precisely what Jones discovered himself in Thursday when discussing Dallas’ present tough contract scenario.
Jones, who has 81 years of expertise and has emerged as a number one candidate for political workplace, muttered incoherently, explaining that he was now like a draft quarterback who needed to consider all choices earlier than making a call.
“We’re making an attempt to make up our thoughts what to do,” Jones mentioned. “Does that sound like Mahomes to you?”
Sounds nothing like Mahomes. If Jones and Mahomes are each quarterbacks (which they don’t seem to be, in case you forgot), then Mahomes isn’t Jones.
A winner.
At simply 28 years previous, Mahomes has three Tremendous Bowl rings. The Cowboys final received the Tremendous Bowl in 1996. That is one more reason why this comparability is meaningless.
The contract scenario in Dallas is considerably mind-boggling. Quarterback Dak Prescott has led the Cowboys for almost a decade, however they continue to be hesitant to rent him long-term.
Whereas Prescott is not in the identical class as Patrick Mahomes and even Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson, franchise quarterbacks do not develop on timber and the Cowboys haven’t got many different choices. If their group decides to maneuver on after this yr, possibly they’ll flip to a veteran like Kirk Cousins or Kyler Murray, however till then, why not deliver again Prescott?
Along with your entire quarterback scenario in Dallas, star broad receiver CeeDee Lamb additionally didn’t take part in coaching camp, ready for his contract.
After being chosen within the first spherical of the 2020 NFL Draft, Lamb has turn out to be the most effective broad receivers within the NFL. He is a greater receiver than quarterback Prescott. As one of many high gamers within the NFL, he undoubtedly deserves compensation.
He had over 5,000 receiving yards and 32 touchdowns in 4 seasons with the Cowboys, and his productiveness elevated yr by yr.
“It is bought to make sense,” Lamb mentioned of his contract expectations.
If contract negotiations have been carried out like a press convention, they may not imply a lot.
