Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has a saying about giving out contracts: it’s okay to pay a premium, as long as you get a premium in return. In other words, if you’re going to give guys big new contracts, they’ve got to perform up to that level every week.
In the newest episode of The Shanaplan, Kyle Posey and Akash Anavarathan put the blame for Sunday’s loss squarely on the shoulders of guys that John Lynch has rewarded with new contracts in the last two years: Arik Armstead, Dee Ford, and Jimmy Garoppolo.
Armstead and Ford combined for 4 total tackles on Sunday.
