How does the Cowboys front office operate in the key areas that determine NFL success? Specifically, how well do they manage the salary cap? Today, Ol' Rabble looks at different aspects of cap management and assigns the team a grade in each.
As I mentioned in the initial offering of this series, it was inspired in large part by a fascinating conversation on the use of analytics in football during the 2013 MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference. The discussion, moderated by ESPN reporter Andrea Kramer, included three NFL front office insiders: 49ers President Paraag Marathe; former Patriots and Chiefs GM Scott Pioli; Kevin Demoff, the Rams' Executive Vice President of Football Operations & Chief Operating Officer.
