Realistically can we afford to sign all three Lamb, Ceedee, and Dak?

[Coogiguy03]

Can we afford to do this, if we do this is it worth that much of the cap being tied up in three huge contracts. I'm sure it's been done before elsewhere or maybe not, but it's a lot of money to go out. What about the depth that we will need to bring in to close out the roster?? Please give your thoughts, can we financially make this happen and play good football????

I saw an article 2 days ago talking about how KC is effectively carrying 2 QB contracts between Jones and Mahomes. That would be a similar situation with Micah and Dak. If CeeDee doesn’t sign before JJ and Jamar push the market to insane levels (saw an article that said J is gonna try to jump to 35m$ annually), then you’re carrying nearly 3 QB contracts between them. Potentially… 130m$ AAV?

It’s not the end of the world, but when only 1 guy on the Oline is getting bigtime money, that could stagnate when the pie dwindles. IMO the Oline is first, QB second, and WR after

I saw an article 2 days ago talking about how KC is effectively carrying 2 QB contracts between averaging out Jones and Mahomes. That would be a similar situation with Micah and Dak.

I think that's doing a disservice to your team with that amount of money put out to 3 players, and I seriously think that they don't want to do that. I mean if you're cheap stay cheap, this is a huge huge amount of money. I was about to say who is jones, I thought you meant daniel jones, you're clearly talking about chris jones

No.
Top 3 QB contract
Top 3 WR contract
Top 3 Edge Contract

I think it's only going to be 2 out of the 3. Someone's being traded. I don't think cap boi will tolerate breaking the bank and resetting the market for 3 players. If I were to guess it'd probably be Micah as he's the most valuable in regards to what we'd get in a trade. It would be 2 1sts and 2 2nds at least plus other picks/players.

I hope we keep all 3. Just saying I don't think it's realistic.

They are going to, probably a big reason they haven't signed any free agents. What Jerry calls keeping his powder dry.

I'm guessing you mean Lamb, Parsons, and Prescott. They can, in theory, sign all three. It doesn't leave much for building a roster around them. My amateur roster building experience would say that if a team has a generational QB worth resetting the market then that QB does not need a top receiver (Mahomes). With that in mind, I'd sign the generational QB and ship the receiver for more help elsewhere. Prescott is not a generational QB, unfortunately, but if they keep him then he probably has to do it without Lamb.

If I'm picking just one, I'd sign the defensive player (Parsons) and hope he matures into an actual leader. Trading Lamb and Prescott (I realize no trade clause for Prescott) would hopefully net enough picks to build a formidable offense to help protect the defense.

not even a one year deal for dak, and keep the other two long term?

can totally see it happening, does it need to, hell no!! Too much money

Lamb may be affordable but CeeDee will break the bank.

you leave so much to think about in this post

Sure, Stephen is a cap genius.

 

[TwistedL0g1k]

Dallas could sign all 3. It could be managed within the cap. Don't pretend there won't be a "cost". That cost will be felt over time, when Dallas has to eat dead money, depriving them of the opportunity to spend those future salary cap dollars on their own talent and free agents. The cost will also be felt in depth. Precious depth will be lost. It's already starting to happen actually.

They're going to try, and it's a horrible idea. This team hasn't made it out of the first round with Lamb, Micah, and Diggs on rookie contracts. What do you think happens if you give Micah and Lamb record contracts, and then hand Dak a blank check? Going top heavy and neglecting the foundation will lead to absolute failure. There's no other way around it. One of them will leave. It makes too much sense to find a trade partner right now while their value is maxed out.

If you don’t figure out how to maintain a top 10 offensive line it doesn’t matter how much you pay your star quarterback. Recall what happened to Mahomes in that Super Bowl without the two starting tackles. If your QB isn’t well protected you won’t get your monies worth out of your wide receivers, either. The first decision to make in today’s NFL is how much of the cap you’ll devote to eight offensive lineman. Then do what you can with the balance. Philly had a great center, great, and two years ago used the 51st pick in the draft to select a center. Now they hope that foresight pays dividends. If maintaining a great OL is not paramount no sense shelling out crazy pay for anyone on offense. Conversely, get as great an edge rusher as you can to minimize, to what degree you can, those teams that have built a very good OL.

I don't envy the position that they're going to be in, but IMHO if it was me I'd say sorry I'm not resetting the market on at least two of the contracts for the betterment of the team as a whole in the long run.

Ok that's fine if you're a Mahomes or a Brady.. no one else has that kind of QB that's going to elevate and justify having multiple QB contracts.
