Blimey!
If they start dak in 2024 it would be more blatant that the Cowboys are tanking.
All of what's going on to this point is a precursor to going to Dak with a negotiating strategy of "give us a bone". Jerry hasnt the kahoona's to go no. 2).
You are so smart
He's going to cost $22m in 2025. That's hardly cost effective, on a QB with next to no experience.
Yeah, hes not so stupid that he wont give 60 million per year to a QB that has led the team to 2 playoff victories in 8 years starting
With the projected O-Line/RB room, Dak may be praying for it.
Agree, but Jerry wont want to lose the PR battle. If Dak's benched or agrees to waive his NTC, he'll make sure that it's Dak's (not his) choice or fault because of loss of form.
Agree with all of that. I wonder if we allowed the offense leave (and we go BPA at no.24 in the draft, maybe DL) whether Dak would agree to a contract that paid him the money....but DIDNT contain a NTC.....or as I suspect he wants to remain in Dallas and doesnt want to cede anything.
This is like JG dillema. Just do "something".
When digging the hole....the best first step is to stop digging. It doesnt solve the problem ...yet.
Totally disagree. Extending Dak at this point would be dumb IMHO. What do we gain? We aren't going to use the cap space to sign any big $ players and even if we want to take on a player we can clear cap space by re-working other deals. We are much better off letting him play out the contract and move all of that dead space off the cap going forward. #2 is also not smart unless they already know they don't want Dak going forward and I suspect having Lance on the roster for half the season and never making him the #2 shows their thoughts on him are the same as SFs when they traded him away. Dak gives you your best chance to win this year even if his playoff performances lately have been poor. They should do exactly what they seem to be doing. Let him play it out. Then decide next offseason if you are going to re-sign him or let him go elsewhere. The only other option that makes any sense is to trade him if you get value back - significantly more than the 3rd rounder you would get as a comp pick
whats you’re point? I didn’t say anything about extending him.
Possibly. Might be in his best interest.
I'm ready to move on from Dak if there is a QB in the next few years who is guaranteed to be better than he could ever be at his highest potential. But also have questions about how Stephen and Jerry would go about drafting the next QB. Would they just try to select a QB from the highest graded college prospects who experts give the best chances to become elite level or next to elite level NFL franchise QBs. Or would they in believing their way is the best way to go about trying to win a Super Bowl. try to be different and draft a lower graded or later round QB, thinking he has just enough talent to be able to still win enough games to keep the Cowboys relevant?
