My question is from who? Miami, Baltimore, Tampa?

The old saying is that "it only takes one".

Also given Daniel Snyder's personality and intellect I wouldn't put it past him to bid on Dak and drop Alex Smith so he can stick it to a Division Rival.

Couple things here

** Don't think there's any question FO see him long-term
** With that said, I think Stephen would get him signed NOW at market value, rather than gambling having to pay $30M+ if he leads the team to a 2019 deep playoff run. Not to mention, looking at the big picture, Dak at $25M year will barely be a top 10 deal 2-3 years from now. One agent on Twitter said to keep an eye on three QBs ( Goff, Wilson and Mahomes ) contracts over the next two years. They are going blow position numbers to pieces. In fact, he estimated Mahomes could be the first $40M per year QB with the first $200M deal. So imagine when numbers start skyrocketing $35-40M range but we're lucky to have our starting QB locked in at $25M.
Yep..Those guys are going to bump the market up.

Saving 20 mil in 2019 might make up for that bump though. If anything, it would give them clarity if they seek it. It sounds like you feel they don't seek any clarity at this stage.
If so, they may go ahead and pull the trigger.
Should be an interesting offseason.

My point is to learn from all of these other stupid teams mistake and not make the same one because they were foolish enough to.
Unfortunately, if you have a good QB, you must pay to keep them

Otherwise, chances are you are looking at Brandon Weeden, Matt Castle, Kellen Moore or Kyle Orton as the staring QB.

"But just draft a QB!" The problem with that is there are far more Johnny Manzels and Paxton Lynchs out there than there are Andrew Lucks and Pat Mahomes.

Obviously it would be foolish to pay Dak close to $30 mil a year, but low to mid $20s is probably what it will take to keep him.

Or we can let him walk, bring in a low level vet or draft another kid and pray that he can win in the NFL and/or not spend a lot of time on the IR.

He doesn't deserve much. That's where the problem will be.

The players around him deserve more money then he does since they are making him better and he isn't making anyone better.
Aww, look everyone, it's one of the same Dak bashers spewing daily anti-Dak venom. What's new?

(in bold) He wants Romo. Has been this way every day, 24/7, for years.

Snyder might be in the market for a QB anyways, Smith's career might be over. That was flat out a Theismann injury.

well if your business and your money was being discussed in public 24/7 365 and the mouths on media and internet are telling you what he should do or take or what you were worth, you might snap back to,..its noones business or place to really discuss this or make those decsions, thats between Dak and Jerry..thats it..so put yourselves in his shoes and what he reads and hears daily and see if you dont get defensive..

I think the issue we do not understand about paying these QBs is..

teams are relying on future returns on investment with them.

Having an adequate coaching staff and ownership willing to stay the course enters into it, too.

So making decisions on a player at a key position is huge.

So is being competent as well with management.

We have had it and lost it and had it again.

The cycles are always unpredictable.

I look at what the Packers and Steelers are going thru right now.

You would not have imagined it 2 years ago.

But there it is.

The Cowboys are really stuck in a bad spot. Dak isnt as good as some people see him and the team is making him better by having great players around him. Now he thinks he is worth big money! Too many QBs are getting over paid in this league!
You let him play out his rookie contract at this point. We have seen his best already and he still is ranked 15 -20 in the league. If Dak takes a leap this year and has 4k yards passing and 28-30 Passing TDs I say give him his money. Those would be top 10 stats. If he has another 3500 yds and 23 passing and 6 rushing thats a problem. You need more passing production because in a few years those rushing TDs wont be there. He will start to feel the effects of the hits like Cam is feeling now.

It's easier now days to find a QB that can play at Daks level.

Elliot and above average Oline play will get most QB's producing similar to Dak.

It must be a nice little fantasy land that you live in.

It’s so easy, yet over half the teams in the league have been dealing with worse QB plays for years.

Nobody tell all those teams GM’ that it’s easy to find an above average QB......

And that was a stupid contract that most teams are glad they didn't do.

If we gave Dak that contract we would regret it. Let some other team make these bad deals.

Dak is not good enough to invest a ton of money in.

Just curious what is the plan then? You stated it’s easier to find QB with Dak’ talent, I’m just wondering what QB’s would that be?

I am inclined to let Dak play for his contract. With the Linehan albatross gone and Amari there he should have no excuses. I believe he will earn a big contract but make him earn it.

This is what I would do as well. If he is half as good as the organization and many fans think he is, he should flourish with Linehan out of the picture.

But I don't think we have the guts nor the inclination. Jerry Jones has already tipped his hand and given away any leverage there was to gain by opening his mouth.

Hey, let's pretend that Dak Prescott is a better QB than Scott Linehan is an offensive coordinator.

I seriously don't get why people have an issue with what Dak said.

Because these "fans" will use anything and everything that he says against him.
Dak could literally say; "I'm donating to charity", and these fans will say "Tier 1 QB's don't do that fire him now."

I don't know who is available but it won't be very hard to find a QB who can throw for 22 TD's like Dak.
