Would you outright want to just get out of Dak's contract?

I was saying, they just seen what and how Snyder got his big bag. Let everyone walk. No extensions. Free up cap space. Let the new Owner decide who the new Coach the QB will be. It would be an unemotional decision to trade CD or Micah if that is what they decide to do.

It makes more sense to me than any other damn thing the Jones are doing?

That would make some sense of we are All-In. This is their last year.
Snyder didn't want to leave - he got kicked out of the good old boys club because he could couldn't run a tight ship, the threaten to expose skeletons.
As for a "new Owner" - Jones has three children immersed in helping run the empire - and have five grandchildren to pass it down.
And just like the Rooneys, the Maras, the Hunts, the Bidwells, and a few others - they'll keep it in the family for generations to come.
Best Cowboys fans can hope for is Charlotte and Jerry Jr. to convince their brother to step aside and let experienced people run the football operations after the father moves on.

I also thought of the Saints. But they signed Carr for a ridiculous amount of money. Maybe some time in the future, but they have zero chance to pick up Dak next year with the cap and dead cap implications.

Daniel Jones don't have guaranteed money after 2024, but he will be a 22M dead cap. Me personally, I think the Giants might be drafting a QB in the first round.

You could be right about the Patriots. They might not like Drake Maye. A good strategy could be to get a haul for the 3rd overall pick, tank 2024, and be in position to get a top QB in the 2025 draft.

I'm definitely taking off on draft night. This is going to be good to see what happens.
Giants only have 6 picks (6, 47, 70, 107, 166, 183).
And they might leery of using their no.1 pick for a QB...

2019 NFL Draft: "With the sixth pick, the New York GIants select ...
Daniel Jones, quarterback out of Duke University."

Yeah -- that first draft night I'm going to planted right in front of the screen with food, beverages, and snacks.

That year the Giants had 3 first round picks if I remember correctly. I was laughing when they took Jones at #6. They should have taken Allen at #6, Lawrence at 17, and jones later in the first. I think he would have been there. I'm happy they didn't do that.

Food beverages and snacks. Absolutely. Cheers.

'Flamma' - you are correct.
NYG took Jones at No.6 - when they could have picked OLB Josh Allen who went to the Jaguars one pick later.
Giants did pick DT Dexter Lawrence at no. 17
Looking over the picks 18 to 29...Jones probably would have still been on the board for the Giants to select at no. 30.
They selected CB Deandre Baker there.

Because we want to get on with the process of getting rid of this bum and bringing in another QB. Why is that so difficult to understand?
He can be cut, right now, and the Cowboys owe him nothing. Then find a new quarterback.

Gardner Minshew would be the "coolest" QB in Dallas since Meredith. 2 years $25M is a sweet team friendly contract. If Daddy Dak is "so good" it wouldn't take an enormous amount of creativity to swap QBs and see LV throw in multiple picks for the "MVP Runner-up".

Sure, it probably won't happen, but to suggest it's not possible is wrong. Kinda like the whole NTC. At some point #4 will realize "Dak is Done in Dallas". Vegas sounds like a nice spot to land to bet it all on black.

Oh, and Minshew might even go 12-5 as a Cowboy.

There are no good options left. We're a cornered, wounded animal with a broken spirit.

Might as well start over.

At that point aren’t you daring him to just request a trade?
Close.
At *this* point they're hoping Dak will agree to be traded.

That's been my interpretation all along. No contract plus depopulating the team of talent, particularly the oline, is an invitation to request to be traded.

They should tell Dak they're planning on drafting a QB.

I went over to 'The Landry Hat' earlier today and came across an article titled "4 teams Dak Prescott could leave the Cowboys for next offseason".
4. Seahawks
3. Broncos
2. Giants
1. Patriots
Well the Giants did take Garrett ;)

Like Kirk Cousins? Age 36 by the start of the season, coming off a torn Achilles, gets $100 million guaranteed. Jalen Hurts, 26 with a Super Bowl appearance has $129 million guaranteed. Dak Prescott, even if he gets badly injured, is going to sign for more than either of those guys with more guaranteed. No matter how much many Cowboys fans wish it, bad things are not going to happen to Dak Prescott. He’ll do just fine. He’s playing well, his representation has him in a good negotiating posture, he’s doing what a professional football player is supposed to do. His detractors are just going to have to reconcile with that.
It’s difficult to reconcile your team potentially overspending on a trigger man that will yield the same results while handcuffing an organization.

Those not in favor of Dak aren’t doing so from a personal perspective. Dak, make all the money you want, just please do so while being playoff irrelevant elsewhere.

Personally I prefer a little more money-ball approach. At this point i'd already be negotiating with Daks team, see what it is they are looking for in an extension and also tell them they can seek a trade so Daks agents are legally allowed to speak to other teams. I am not under any circumstances giving a non elite player of any position elite money. Elite to me is making plays in the playoffs and no one on this team deserves that kind of deal so I personally am more inclined to flip some of these players for more pics and other players who's talent exceeds their contract.

What if Charlotte or Jerry Jr, or Stephen agree to disagree? All it takes is one feeling left out to drive a wedge in the family and then force sale of their properties.
I have seen many many wealthy family's second and third generations sell everything that "Grandpa" obtained.
Just saying, it could happen after Jerruh dies.

Alll three have been in charge of three distinct entities within the franchise that, because of the immense status, popularity, and profitability,l - it seems like they are running their own companies inside of the parent (sèe what I did there) conglomerate.
So being long involved in the growth of the franchise, the three could also work out how to administer their father's roles and responsibilities pertaining to the franchise (and other enterprises Jones Sr. is involved in), and continue on seamlessly.

Since I believe it's time to move on, sure. And I don't believe Jerry is smart/saavy enough to trade him away now.

That's just way too accurate. W/o some trading away of valuable resources, I just don't see an answer to get out of this one.
