The Cowboys' Cap Chaos: Norm’s Not Holding Back 💰🏈
On this episode of Just Wondering, Norm Hitzges is serving up hot takes.
Join Norm as he unpacks the financial spaghetti the Dallas Cowboys have cooked up with their latest contract drama. From Micah Parsons' cryptic comments at training camp to the front office’s favorite hobby (procrastination), Norm dissects why the Cowboys keep kicking the financial can down the road—and what it’s costing them.
In classic Norm fashion, the conversation is equal parts insightful and brutally honest. The duo contrasts Dallas' delay tactics with the Philadelphia Eagles' chessboard-level strategy, asking the big question: Why can’t the Cowboys learn from their own mistakes?
If you care about salary caps, football futures, or just love a good rant with a smart bite, this episode is your playbook.
