Is it worth the risk?
Yes, they can win the division but their chance of success in the playoffs seems extremely low.
With Dak not 100% healthy, their chance of success in the playoffs seems to be near zero.
Standard football mentality says he plays no matter what if cleared to play.
Dak took a gamble, and I think got greedy, and now it has all backfired on him if you look at his situation now.
He is injured , has not played well at times, has not improved his status with dallas or other teams,
and now his contract is about up , no big payday and he will have to finish season injured.
His future is not looking all that great now.
And if the new HC assuming that happens does not want him , I dont think he will get more than
20-25 a year on another team.
I think he wants to play to prove they can go further, but that really isnt a smart move for him,
especially since he isnt 100 %.
