Jerry Jones' have not advanced past the divisional round of Sonny Gray Jersey the NFC playoffs since Hall of Famers Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith and Michael Irvin powered Dallas to glory in the 1995 season, and his remarks Tuesday at the Senior Bowl down in Mobile, Alabama shed some light as to what some of the reasons for that drought may be. The Cowboys have gone 12 consecutive playoff runs without reaching the conference championship round, the longest such streak in playoff history.When asked about how the and utilized "aggre sive offseasons" to represent the NFC in the two most recent Super Bowls, Jones elaborated on his risk tolerance in comparison to those teams in which he compared apples to oranges in lumping the two teams' philosophies together."Anybody who thinks I won't take a chance has misread the tea leaves," Jones . "But I do think longer term, and I'm real hesitant to bet it all for a year. There's a lot of things that can happen for that year. In e sence, we're seeing a couple of teams the Los Angeles Rams and Philadelphia Eagles that have had some real succe s putting it all out there and paying for it later. Don't think that doesn't pop in my head end get my eye as far as doing it, and I know how to do that. It's part of what you put in that computer and what comes out. We'll see how it comes, but that's pretty impre sive to have two teams in the last two years empty the bucket and get to the Super Bowl. But if you mi s, it's a long go.""On the other hand, my general experience has been that if you will stay aggre sive, I'm talking whether it's on the field or off the field, but you pick your shots with risk-taking, and I've spent a lot of time in my life doing that," Jones continued. "When they cut me open, it will be all those scars, heart attacks, for all those risks I took and the years I spent paying for them. My point is, I do know how to take risks. They are absolutely right. We have been in the middle here for a few years, but I like where we are right now, more in the middle. But given the opportunity, if it would make some sense, I've definitely got some risk-taking in me."

Jones was 100% correct when calling the Rams' team-building plan "emptying the bucket": Los Angeles has not had a first-round pick since it traded up 14 spots from 15th overall to the very top pick in the 2016 in order to select quarterback . In order to reach the mountaintop as Super Bowl LVI Champions to conclude the 2021 season, the team needed to clean up when picking in the middle rounds as well as have its big swings via trades and free agency hit, which is what happened.The team picked up key contributors in the middle to late parts of drafts like Super Bowl MVP and 2021 NFL Offensive Player of the Year, wide Eugenio Suarez Jersey receiver (third round in 2017), tight end (fourth round in 2016), safety (sixth round of 2020 Draft), and a variety of linemen on both sides of the ball over the last few years. Then, general manager Les Snead swung for the fences with multi-pick trades for All-Pro cornerback (2019), Pro Bowl quarterback (2021) and linebacker (2021). Oh, and he happened to select defensive tackle , one of the greatest defenders in NFL history, 13th overall in the 2014 NFL Draft. Stars like Ramsey, Stafford, Kupp, and Donald were all given lucrative long-term contract extensions in the proce s of and in the aftermath of leading the team to a Super Bowl title. The Rams themselves admitted they went for broke following the trade for Miller in November of 2021. We're all in. Los Angeles Rams (@RamsNFL) As Jones alluded, they did pay the price for building a top-heavy roster with depth along the margins with mid-to-late round picks elsewhere. And the house of cards collapsed as Stafford, Kupp, and Donald all suffered injures that caused them to mi s extensive time, leading to the Rams' 5-12 record in 2022. That's the worst by a defending Super Bowl champion ever. That step backward even led head coach Sean McVay to contemplate retirement at the age of 37 before deciding towith the Rams this offseason. However, the Eagles' path to becoming the fourth team ever to reach two Super Bowls in a six-year span with a different quarterback and head coach is vastly different than the "emptying the bucket" moniker Jones labeled them with in his extensive answer on risk-taking as an NFL team executive. The Eagles have completely turned over their roster since their Super Bowl LII championship in the 2017 season with the exception of seven on their current 53-man roster: three offensive linemen, two defensive linemen and two special teams players. That type of roster churn highlighted a willingne s to part with key veterans who led them to past glory and/or put up big numbers, something Jones Michael Lorenzen Jersey can sometimes be reluctant to do.Players on Eagles roster from 2017 Super Bowl teamC RG RT DE DT K LS Unlike the Rams, who are currently projected to be about $14 million over the salary cap ( ) and who don't have their own first-round pick again until 2024, the Eagles' roster re-shuffle has been done predominantly through the draft and not the pick-emptying trades that have become a signature of Les Snead's Rams.Only eight of the Eagles' 22 offensive and defensive starters haven't been acquired through the draft or undrafted free agency. Three of those eight -- linebacker (16.0 sacks, tied for second-most in NFL with in 2022), wide receiver (his 1,496 receiving yards are fourth-most in the NFL in 2022 and broke the Eagles' single-season record), and cornerback (made Pro Bowls in each of last two seasons) -- are under contract through at least the 2023 season. Philadelphia currently has about $4 million in cap space ( ) and is one of two teams in the upcoming 2023 draft that simultaneously made the playoffs this season and have multiple first-round picks, including one in the top 10 Scott Feldman Jersey . The , who extracted three players and five picks when sending quarterback to the , are the other such team. In short, the Eagles have threaded the needle between winning now as well as being built for succe s in the future. Thus, po se sing a contrasting long-term outlook than the Rams.
