We need to trade Dak

Firstly, no trade clauses are meaningless. The various parties, including the players agent, always discuss potential trades in advance and the clause will be removed if a deal is agreed.

It will cost Dallas to move Dak on. Trade value is less than real value as there is always a risk a player wont gel with the new team. This risk comes with a price.

Also, cap hit is important. Will mean additional cost/credit depending on whether the players cap hit is more/less than perceived value.

So, if you think Dak is a genuine 40m per year QB, you will have to either give away a draft pick or retain some of the cap hit in dead money in order to trade him to a team that believes he's 40m per year.

If you think he's worth only 35m per year (which is still elite money) then you're giving away another draft pick e.g. a 2nd rounder or absorbing an additional $5m per year in dead money in addition to the risk cost in order to trade him.

If other teams value him much less than elite, then you're either absorbing most of his salary in dead money and/or parting with several high draft picks to trade him.

The only potential trade partner I can see is Houston. Need a QB, potentially has the cap space (if Watson moved on). They have a mediocre front office which is under pressure. It could potentially cost us e.g. a first and second rounder to trade him with the full cap hit to the Texans assuming the Texans like him.
Agree. The last paragraph might become a painful reality of effectively giving a team, in complete rebuild, Dak Prescott and draft picks to eat their own salary cap for having to tolerate having him on their roster. People would then see how average he is on a bad team.

Only problem with this though is that there's no way Prescott would want to move anywhere else. He will not have the opportunity of joining a more offensive friendly team for a QB that makes him look better than he actually is, than the Cowboys. We are stuck with him for several years. The team has been properly kneecapped due to sympathy from the front office with his injury etc.

The *front office need to trade Dak this off-season. Dak is not a QB that will ever be able to carry this team if we are missing players. If we don't, we will waste another 3 years out of this core and our championship window is closing rapidly. We have the best roster in the NFL and our QB is our bottleneck, like having a great GPU but only reaching minimal efficiency because of an outdated CPU.

Parson is currently on a rookie contract, so we need to make the move that will give us the best chance at the Lombardi. We are going to lose one of our receiver next year, and the Eagles are getting better. It will only get worst after this season.
I understand you wanting to get rid of the dodge dart of quarterbacks. I wish there was some decent QB available to bring in but it looks like we are gonna have to ride this out.
This sure won't look good if Dallas loses the division or loses to a team like the Eagles or WFT in a first round playoff game.

You are the President of the Dak Hate Club. So do you think anyone listens to you?

Why do you think the Eagles are our biggest threat in the NFCE? Jalen Hurts is playing so badly they just got beat by the Giants. Meanwhile, the WFT just beat the Seahawks and is now in the playoffs with the 7 seed.

Jerry, is that you? You sound like you've been hitting the bottle HARD!!!!!!!!!!!!! Best roster in the NFL? Even on a Defense that allowed 36 points to a Raiders squad that had averaged 14 the previous 3 games? I really need whatever you are smoking and/or drinking.........cuz that's some strong ish

Fully agree that Dak will want to stay for the reasons you mention.

Talking in general, not about Dak, the QB doesnt always have a choice. If a team genuinely does wants to move on from a QB it may be better to make the best of the situation and cut the best financial deal while agreeing to a trade. E.g. I doubt Goff thought Detroit were better than the Rams.

We didn't come back in the last game. We lost again.

mr Swagger---we were tied 33-33 going overtime...had we kicked extra point instead of unscucessfully missing 2 point coversion...as time ended in regulation it would have been 34-33 cowboys...that is

all i am saying....yes of course you are correct we lost that game and played overtime very poorly and deserved to lose at that point....yes we lost that game....but also remember we were down by double

digits for a long while....and Dak brought us back without several of his playmaker receivers.....problem is not Dak

Good.. Now hopefully the Cowboys stop asking Dak to carry us and get back to what every freakin pee-wee to pop Warner to high school to college coach knows.

Yes. Unless you have an elite QB and they just go win anywhere you put them because the reality is most of these teams are similar and Dallas when healthy is more talented than any team in the league.

even those elite QB's that carry teams often have decent to good blocking everyone i have seen unless the QB is also so talented with his legs......one thing i may have noticed and i could be wrong...

Dak seems to do well when he has time to set up and employ better mechanics he has vastly improved on in last couple of years.....when he does not he does have tendancy to hold ball too long

looking to "power through"...which at times he is successful but often is not

Eh.. A lot of them are mobile and they just scramble and buy time. If you just tee off on someone like Mahomes or Rodgers they’ll burn you with their legs.

Rod Marinelli even said back in the day they’re goal was to keep Rodgers in the pocket.

Statue QBs are more line dependent but most teams run spread and the ball comes out quick.

This is why nearly every QB has a 65% completion percentage these days.

Most of the NFL is playing 7 on 7 football and they don’t prioritize offensive linemen like Dallas does.

GB is missing their starting Left tackle for the rest of the season and you will never know it by watching them.

Rogers is just so talented/...remember 2014 and Rogers had bad calf injury and normally would have sat out regular season game...but since divisional round...he was hopping on one leg delivering bullets

to receivers and our poor backfield just could not hang and we just got back DLaw his rookie year ( injured most of year until playoffs and he won us game against lions wild card ) and he made a sack\

on Rogers....and remember our running back who ran for over 1800 yds ( i forget names so easy apologies )...and he got stripped in that divisional game and had nothing but daylight for TD in front of him

and of course Dez a few years later it was agreed it was a catch....i thought it looked easy ball did not touch ground yes it moved within his arm as he stretched over goal line but that was a TD ...not even

if they call it a catch on the 1 yd line...for me since ball was moving he did not secure it until over goal line CATCH-TD....how can it get any more simple and it was called a catch on the field ...made me so

angry the big wigs in New York who determine what is and what is NOT....pure BS....someone was paid off that is how i view it....could be totally wrong....and will accept correction if proved
