Today is a difficult day to deal with the smart realities of millions of dollars in salary cap money,its clear Dak is the psychological heart of this team.
We all should remember that:
1.)Dak is set for life,31 million is grandchildren-mansion money,not a living wage.
2.) Thanks to Jerry and the Cowboy corporate money machine Dak has 10s of millions in endorsement money already under contract or in the bank.Let's stop all the pity-party stuff for our 50 million dollar QB.
3.)8-8 & no playoffs(and failed offense against N.E. and Philly2) was an eye-opener last year.The off season negotiation should have been total disappointment to all Cowboy fans.If Dak and his agent don't want to QB my team for 5 more years and insist on a contract exceeding that of Brady,Brees,Wilson,Mahomes,Rogers(all SB and playoff successful QBs) then he's no Roger Staubach(or Aikman) and that should be our standard.Dak deserves #8-9-10-11 best money among QBs,or we will be devastating our salary cap...
4.)We need 2 safeties,two-three OLs to compete for a Superbowl,We're mission both tackles and a first round LB right now.
5.) If we can go 8-8 with Dalton,sign him for 16 million next year and buy us some defense,
If there's a way to trade Dak for a number 1 or more,trade him to a contender in the AFC(Pitt,NE,) and rebuild our team we can't afford a 40 million $ QB and have a defense and Tackles & Guards that can block.
