And the texans lol
Jerry being Jerry
I didn't know this but apparently Rush was due a bonus if he played 55% of offensive snaps this season.
If Rush had played today he likely would have hit that bonus for $500k. But we all know what happened (played lance).
Jerry, did you know this would cost Rush his bonus? Nope.
Sure Jerry…..Sure.

Cooper Rush's contract with the Dallas Cowboys includes several bonuses and incentives. The most recent contract signed in 2023 includes a $1.25 million signing bonus. Additionally, Rush had a performance-based incentive that would have earned him $500,000 if he played 55% of the offensive snaps during the 2024 season. However, this incentive was not achieved due to the Cowboys benching him in favor of Trey Lance for the Week 18 game against the Washington Commanders. Rush had played 52.5% of the offensive snaps up to that point, and playing the majority of the game would have been necessary to reach the 55% threshold.
Could give a rats ass about Rush's bonus. It was good to see Lance play today. Would've liked to seen him play a few games down the stretch just to get a good evaluation heading into next season.
Yeah…this is my thought as well. Don't be atrocious last week and maybe you get the start and get that bonus. They also wanted to get a look at Lance.
Jerry Jones says QB Cooper Rush’s contract incentive that would have been reached — and would’ve paid Rush $250,000 — if he played today was NOT the reason Trey Lance started for the Dallas Cowboys…#DallasCowboys #cowboys #dallas #NFL pic.twitter.com/6sKu97vpiH

The absurd part is Jerry saying he didn't know about the incentives but wants to play the gm role. This is why Dallas's ceiling is where it is.

This is the type of bull**** that worries free agents
Good job, Jersey. The Cowboys continue to suck yet another season
So either Jerruh is a vindictive cheapskate or an incompetent cheapskate. Which is worse?

How long do you want to ignore this user?

Wow that Rush incentive is a really really bad look for an organized that looks bad regularly
So happy to see Jerry choke once again. Then dammit, if he didn't have a great cameo appearance in today's Landman.
Just when I think I can't dislike Jerruh any more, he goes and does something like this.

Nah, if they wanted to "take a look at lance" it would have been before this week. It's exactly what it looks like
Why should we care about Rush's bonus? If he went undefeated in Daks absence, he would've got enough snaps.

Because it shows one of two things.
1. Jerry doesn't know what he's doing because he couldn't remember rush having this incentive.
2. Jerry is an ass and refuses to pay the back up after a stupid contract to his starter.
Either way, Dallas will never win again as long as Jerry controls things.
Only thing I would add is that Rush is set to be a free agent and this may impact his decision to resign with the Cowboys, assuming they want to bring him back.
Personally, I think once the Cowboys were officially eliminated from the playoffs, which was prior to the Bucs game, they should have handed the reins over to Lance to evaluate him more.

It also shows just how cheap and cash poor the Cowboys are. I'll die on the hill of Jerry having cash flow problems.
Lance needed to play yesterday. This isn't a charity. Rush played well enough this year to likely be too expensive to retain, so you need to start looking at options. Jerry is awful at public speaking and does not think ahead about what he's going to say.
I've maintained forever that a good backup is worth their weight in gold, especially in an era where QBs rarely seem to make it through the season unscathed.DannyDuberstein said:

The question is how much of your cap can you put into one position. You need a guy good enough to keep you at .500 for a short stretch. Otherwise, your season is ****ed anyway
It also wouldn't have been hard to say "tough decision but he has been able to earn some bonuses including last week. We also feel like Lance has earned a shot and we really wanted to evaluate our room as we head into the offseason". But he's old, has never been good at public speaking, and was probably barely even involved in the decision.

While I think McCarthy will be back and it's probably the right choice, if he wasn't retained I would give Aaron Glenn a serious look as well as all of the other candidates. What he did last night to Minnesota was all-time stuff, and he seems to have much more of a culture changer and setter mindset than say his OC counterpart.
Yeah, I think the band stays together on a 2-3 year deal
Aaron Glenn to New Orleans feels inevitable.
There are two options I see with this, one is that McCarthy already has decided Lance has no future really.Vince Blake said:

The other is that Jerry and front office made the call as to who starts
The other teams - Bills, Bucs, etc. worked to get some players their incentives.
If Jerry was so worried about Lance getting reps, he would have played him last week.
Do you really think Jerry didn't know?
Hope Rush finds a better job elsewhere.
I'm sure Jerry was more worried about his cameo on Landman.

I'll say this and leave it alone; someone did the math on how many snaps Rush would've actually needed to hit his 55% mark, and it came out to him needing 80 snaps that game to do it. While not impossible, the odds of logging 80+ offensive snaps in an NFL game is pretty stinking low.
That doesn't make sense to me. If his threshold is 55%, and he was already at 52.5%, then he only needed 2.5% of the offensive snaps. That's less than a half of a 17 game season. Dallas plays about 65 snaps per week. That works out to 28 snaps. Easy enough to put him in for a quarter or half and get thatTksymm7 said:

Jerry Jones was asked if he would ever give up being general manager of the Cowboys:
— Clarence Hill Jr (@clarencehilljr) January 5, 2025
“No, just no. I bought the team. I think the first thing that came out of my mouth when somebody asked [after that transaction], 'Did you buy this for your kids?' I said, 'Hell no. I bought it…
According to these sites, he needed around 72 snaps to hit 55% (assuming I'm doing the math correct).

Trey had 78 snaps yesterday....would have been close.

His ego holds this fanbase hostage.
So he was under 49% and needed 55%. Not as bad but still doable. Makes Jerry look like an incompetent ass either way, but what else is new

Well, he had over 72 snaps 50% of the time he started this season.ramblin_ag02 said:

I don't like Jerry but I think this is being overblown a bit.
If it's a PR hit, he'll probably just pay the $500k IMO.
Can't believe we could've dropped from 11th pick to 16th pick by winning yesterday.
Ended up 12th but a win would have sent them to 15th now that all of the other chips landed
