Walt Garrison (Walt) Quotes
I thought the Dallas Cowboys were special. But the team stayed together. All teams stayed together back then. I can name you 40 guys that only played for Dallas, including Bob Lilly and Roger Staubach and Meredith. I could go on and on and on and on. We had very few other players that came from other teams. Now you have a little small nucleus of players, and about a third of your team changes every year, because of the salary cap, because of free agency. Some guy makes more money, pretty soon a guy starts making that money, you can't afford to keep him.
