[Verdict]

It’s odd how contracts seem more tied to the rising salary cap than actual performance. The fact that Dak will probably make more than Tom Brady (1.5 times more), Rodgers, Brees, Rivers, Ryan, etc is really counter intuitive based on what these guys have done compared to Dak.

You are comparing guys entire careers to Dak in 3 years.

You are comparing guys entire careers to Dak in 3 years.

My point stands as posted. It’s not that hard to comprehend.

 

[Verdict]

Timing is everything.

Yes. That’s the point. Even Carr’s contract is looking cheap now.

If you could trade Dak for two firsts and flip a second rounder to the Raiders for Carr would you do it?

YES .

 

[Verdict]

YES .

I would sure be tempted.

 

[Verdict]

Yep

I would be inclined to pull the trigger on that one and save 10m per year and get the picks.

What team needs Dak so badly they’d give 2 firsts for him? And why would Oakland trade their starting QB for a 2 with no foreseeable replacement?

1. Lots of teams are desperate for a QB.

2. Gruden not a fan of Carr. Carr is no
Longer the flavor of the day there.

Downside to Carr is that Coop and him weren’t BFFs as WR/QB combo.

Sure, name a team that’d give up 2 firsts for Dak Prescott

 

[Hardline]

Some of these hypothetical trade you folks come up with are amazing
I only wish Jerry had the ability to fleece other teams in trades. Other teams aren't as stupid as you think they are.
Jerry is most likely to get the short end of the stick when it comes to trades and deals

Don't bet the farm this will happen.......July 29th and still no 30+ million a year contract for Dak.

Only a team with Jerry Jones as its GM......
