Ok well if so and you dont do that if you're Dallas you're just nuts.
I dont dislike Prescott but if you're given the ammo to get yourself someone potentially better on a rookie deal plus the stopgap options that are available, plus making your defense better w the cap savings.
Again, a lot of folks dislike Prescott and I'm not one of them, but man they are going to be stuck paying him as if he is elite, and he just isnt.
If you get bailed out of that impossible spot you need to do it. Sorry.
Well I think there's a few things you have to consider.
In 2 or 3 years will Dak's contract still be considered "elite" money? You remember when Jimmy G and Kirk Cousins contracts were looked at as elite money? Or how about Derek Carr's? In comparison to the 33-34 million Wentz and Goff got? The contracts don't look nearly as bad as they did when those guys signed it.
Like I said above, I get both sides of it. People knocked the Vikings for signing Cousins...I thought it was smart. You have a bunch of guys in the prime of their careers...why would you waste their prime years when they are in win now mode?
In 2018 if I'm not mistaken the Vikings signed Kirk Cousins that year.........let's say they somehow managed to trade up. Would they had been better off with Baker Mayfield, Josh Allen, Josh Rosen, Sam Darnold, Lamar Jackson......or with Kirk Cousins? I'd rather have Cousins.......except for Lamar. I don' think they would've been much better with Lamar but as a player I would've taken Lamar over Cousins.
