The LT our if Oakland is just one of many. Jimmy G and Kirk Cousins are other examples. Wentz is another. How many more examples do you want?
I answered your question but I’ll do it again. Bengals, Ravens, Dolphins, Broncos, Raiders and Buccs will all need quarterbacks next year. Would they want Dak over a rookie qb? Not sure but those are teams that can use Dak and would pay Dak.
Now I have a question. Can you point to a time in history where a 25 year old quarterback took less than market value out of the kindness of his heart? Can you also point to a time where the Cowboys let a quarterback walk who had Dak’s resume?
Examples of what? It's like you don't listen. Cousins got signed by Minnesota because they believed that they were a QB away. They believed that he could win them a championship now. That's why they paid him. And BTW, it's a short term deal. It's 3 years with an average of 28 per year. I mean, if you want to sign Dak to that type of deal, I'm all in on that. Is that what you want? I personally think that would be a great situation for Dak but it's not long term guaranteed money.
Garoppolo is another example of a short term deal with no long term security. He signed a 5 year 137 mil deal, which is really only a two year deal. His average salary was like 27 mil, he got 41 mil up front, he made 37 last year but going forward, he is at 19 mil, 26 mil, 26 mil and 27 mil but in reality, SF can be out of the contract in 2021 with only a 2.8 mil dead cap hit. His deal is not long term. Again, it's a short term deal with a lot of up front payout to make it very easy for the team to just get out of the deal. If that's what you want for Dak, I'm all for it. And let me ask you, what drove that deal? A situation where their existing starter looked great early but leveled off and was a complete PR nightmare and distraction to the team. That's why Garoppolo got that deal to begin with. It wasn't because the going rate was 30 mil, which he never ever got as an average salary. Bad cap management is what forced that deal. Now we got guys like you trying to turn it into some kind of ludicrous statement that says it's how the NFL works. Well no, it's not. It's how it works if you are stupid and don't manage your cap. Is that who you want to be here in Dallas?
What post did you answer my question in? I'm very curious to read it all.
OK:
Bengals
Ravens
Dolphins
Broncos
Raiders
Bucks
Bengals - Bengals only have 20 Mil in cap space. Now, that is before any of their Draft Picks get signed or the practice squad is accounted for. More then that, they have maybe the most team friendly contract of any team in the NFL at starting QB, for Dalton. If you were the Bengals, would you spend on a huge QB deal while you have an experienced QB on the Roster and having just drafted Finely to develop? That doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Add to that, they would have to give something up to get Dak. What do you think the Cowboys are going to ask for here? You see the Bengals giving up those picks and paying out that huge increase in salary? I don't see that. Why would they, they aren't close so Dak aint putting them over the top.
Dolphins - Fins have 26 Mil in cap space available, prior to signing everything. More importantly, they just picked up Rosen and they have Fitzpatrick on the roster. Fins, between both QBs have like 29 mil invested in cap space between these two QBs. Why on earth would the Fins want to go out and spend 30 mil plus on Dak if you are the Fins? I mean, that makes no sense at all. Why would they do that?
Ravens - Currently have Griffin III on contract but it's for something like 4.5 mill over two years. That's not really all that big of a deal but what is a bigger deal is that they just drafted Lamar Jackson in the first round and I don't see them just cutting him loose. They aren't going to sign Dak for 30 Mil plus, give up the draft picks it would take and just cut Jackson free. Besides, they only have like 12 mil in cap space so they would have to find away to come up with at least 8 mil more.
Broncos - Denver has a little over 5 mil in cap space. They have just traded for Joe Flacco. They are on the hook for 18 plus mil this upcoming season and that number goes up from there. They just took Drew Lock with a 2nd. I don't see how they could or would be able to pay 30 mil plus for Dak, plus give up the picks or give up on Lock before he's even gotten a chance.
Raiders - Raiders have Carr and Dak is not an upgrade there. Carr is cheaper and he's locked in for 22 mil next season, Raiders just picked up his option. He's not going anywhere, unless they trade him but why would they trade Carr only to go out and spend more money on a QB who may not be as good? They hold all the cards with Carr and they have a lot of holes on that team. They have the cap but they don't have the cap to sign a player like Dak and surround him with talent. If that's the plan, then why invest 30 mil plus in a QB who needs talent that you can no longer afford?
Bucks I covered earlier. they are in no position to sign Dak.
In short, anything could happen but I don't see any of these teams wanting or even being able to sign Dak and having it be a positive, in terms of their team situation.
