Signing dak is going from problematical to impossible. Not looking good. It's a shame we're so unprepared to deal with the matter. QB in free agency looms as a distinct possibility.
Good grief. Jerry’s incompetence knows no bounds.
How can the GM not be talking to his most important player who is no longer under contract?
I hope Dak holds out. He has done his part. It’s now up to the team to step up and pay the man or face the consequences.

Stephen has addressed the fact that right now they do not know if the CBA in place will remain as is or a new CBA is agreed on and will do nothing until they know. The NFL and NFLPA have agreed to delay the date in which franchise tags can be implemented for a extra 2 days as they work on this situation with the CBA. Knowing cap figures of what the final agreement will be is pretty important to the teams around the league and the Cowboys who have a couple of big contracts they will be contending with. Or Dallas could just do it blindly and hope the CBA falls their way
That would've been the smart move.
The cap is always going up.. It's no secret..
If the cap goes up then Amari and Dak's contract demands will surely change for the worse.
No biggie. We can use the tag if they can’t agree. And maybe Daks agent wants more than we want to pay. So tag him and let’s see what other teams offer, it might be less than the 33 a year he turned down.
I was only assuming that the guaranteed money would match that of goff or close to it. Should have mentioned that.But we do not know the context of the 33 mill. That is bogus number. If I handed you a 4 year deal at 33 mill a year that is a contract of 132 on a 4 year deal. Now if I turn around and say I will Guaranteed on 40 mill then what you have is a 40 mill contract, player knows if he is released that the rest of the money never comes. Without knowing the full structure the Cowboys have made the 33 a year really is a meaningless number

The only way Dallas can regain control of this situation is if they let Dak and his representatives know their number and tell him that he can sign it or they will look to move on from him instead of telling everyone how much they love him and he is our future.
They give themselves no leverage in these negotiations at all which tells me they will cave to whatever Dak wants in the end and the Cowboys will be worse for it.
The seahags really loaded the front of Wilson’s contract. If we sign Dak I wonder if we will do something similar with the signing bonus.I understand but that is an assumption we do not know. We are told this number of 33 but nothing more than that.
Looking at Wilson, Goff and Wentz you see the real money that player knows is real. Again claiming it is 33 a year is great but if player is cut or released how much is that contract worth? These number are real player knows this is theirs
Wilson $65M signing bonus, $107M of total guarantees,
Goff $25,000,000 signing bonus, $110,042,682 guaranteed
Wentz $16,367,683 signing bonus, $107,970,683 guaranteed
