Re: What We Learned in Week 15 (NFL team salaries linked)
What you fail to take into consideration (or so it would appear) when talking about the "one team that may not make it" is that they re-signed a lot of their own players (in the off-season) whom they drafted which inflated their number greatly. They also have some of their past FA's who are on their second contracts with the team as of the off-season. That's a lot different than a team like Oakland who tried to pull a New York Yankees type move. Granted the Roy Williams trade also no doubt inflated that number a lot too. Grow your own talent, pay them well, keep them happy, sprinkle in some key FA's, win football games.
And there's no "maybe" about it." The Cowboys aren't making the playoffs this year.
Good read though and good find on the Cardinals....Last edited by gr8slayer; 12-16-2008, 09:01 PM.

I'm sure I could go into each team's specific payroll and breakdown who their own FAs were, who received extensions, and who were signed UFAs. That doesn't change the facts of what I wrote, nor the point of the piece.
Is the Cowboys payroll #2 in the league? Yes (according to this).
MIGHT they not make the playoffs? Yes.
Your points (although I'm sure true) don't change those facts, which was all this was about.Buffalo Bills Now! and NFL Now! podcasts
