If you let Dak go, you're paying top money anyway AND don't have a QB.
Well they did that on this past contract and it cost them a boat load as Dak went on to have a pro bowl season. So are they willing to do that again and cough up even more? I guess that's part of the game.
It’s crazy how long he is been playing for us and it’s still up in the air if he is worth starting money. I wonder if we brought Lance in to take Rush spot at backup. After the nice play Rush showed when Dak was out JJ maybe able to get a 3rd or his 4th round back for Rush. Get Lance into the back up role and more experience. With a great Defense and really good Offense I see us blowing some teams out. So we will pull Dak and get Lance in there. We cut Grier, can we bring him back on the PS.
Yep. We could have signed Dak way back before wentz got signed and gotten him cheaper but JJ wanted to let him play out his rookie deal. So it costed more. Now it will cost even more. I for some reason think JJ wants to keep Dak as the starter. Everyone else wants him replaced. But another 15 int season and one and done in the playoffs may change his mind.
You just spelled it out.
If he EARNS IT? Sure. Make the numbers work by cutting elsewhere. It makes gif tough decisions but if you’ve added another trophy it’s worth it.
Gonna be hard to show if Lance is capable standing on the sidelines as #3. Gotta have injuries or us blowing teams out early to get him on the field.
A $40 million cap hit at QB would be nearly the highest in the league but you'd be depending on Trey Lance.
I mean, I agree. I think JJ is also mad that Dak won't give a Brady-style discount given how much he makes from all his endorsements, etc. He's not going to get that in another town I don't think. Not nearly as much. The 15 int thing was a fluke, I don't think Dak was comfortable with his receivers last season, can't really blame him. They were garbage. So I really doubt we'll see that this year IMO and it will end up costing Jerry and Cap Boy A LOT-- unless they want to maybe go out and get a Kirk Cousins or someone like that if he is a FA. Lance won't be able to replace Dak for a 2-3 years, realistically. Maybe that is the ultimate plan.
A good and fair article. I have said it before do the Cowboys want to break the bank twice on a quarterback that has brought them zero Super Bowls. Micah is going to be another mess. Look what is going on with Bosa and Jones now. CeeDee is going to be a headache too. If you move on from Dak you should be able to field lots of talent. I just don’t know about the quarterback.
Yep. It’s all about getting the trophy and ring. We have a good team this year all the way around. Plenty of options to throw to and run. If our O-Line plays well and holds up. Our Defense should be a beast and roll over teams this year.
I agree with this completely for ALL players.
I think the 15 was a fluke also. One of the things I liked about him was he was safe with the ball. He had a fumbling problem when hit for a few years from holding the ball too long. But Dak had Lamb last year and that was it. Gallup wasn’t ready.
Exactly!
Yep those are the facts- they can't walk from Dak now without destroying the cap. Any idea of this trade as some kind of leverage is just nonsense and not worth the web space it is showing on!
With a possible huge upside or even another good backup. A QB picked 3rd over all and had only played in 8 games for a 4th round pick. Lol. How could you pass that up. He hasn’t played long enough to know if he is a bust or a super star. I think niners lean on the run game to win more than using a qb arm. We have there qb to much respect in that playoff game. Should have been in his face all day. But was worried about the run.
