Let Dak Walk

[J12B]

Wouldn't that be something, if the front office opt to let Dak leave Dallas.

Would for sure send a message to the team that no player is safe and that playing for the greatest franchise in sports (value wise) is a privilege.

The front office tried working with him, but he has declined all the offers.

Let him leave then.

Maybe that would spark a culture change within the organization.

Winter is coming...
Brace yourself

 

[CATCH17]

Just let the next coach decide.

Thats what they should do.

There is too much money and cap space on the line to force this thing just because you like the guy because it is clear as day he is not as good as what he is asking for and just because other teams got stupid and overpaid their guy doesn't mean the Cowboys have to.

 

[Shotgun Dave]

Why don't you folks understand that Dak simply is NOT going anywhere?

Jerry has made that so clear it's crazy. He's not cheap, and Dak WILL get a new contract. Bet the farm.

Yeah if the next coach thinks he can do some outlier stuff with Dak I’m ok with it even if I disagree. I’m willing to see if someone else can prove me wrong about Dak being Smith Jr

Agree but Dakota and his agent aren't gonna back off their demand for 35-40 million a year. They painted themselves into that corner and perhaps they will get it........or not.

For the Cowboys, Tag him, play him, Draft his potential replacement and let the chips fall where they may. No need to act hastily in going all in

Yeah he’s made it so clear he’s the only qb from that draft class worth a dang that’s not signed. It’s funny how folks believe words only when it confirms their pov. I think it’s most likely he returns but he still hasn’t been signed and who knows what the next coach thinks about him.

 

[sunalsorises]

That message would have been better sent had Jerry not paid Zeke so much two years early.

Don't even tag him.

Let's roll with Rush.

 

[Xeven]

I think Dak should walk for his own career. Jerry will ruin his career. Maybe go spend a year working with Brady.

 

[leeblair]

Tag him and keep him for one more year to see how he works out with a real head coach.
He needs work in pressure situations and it remains to be seen how badly he has been tainted by this year's breakdown.
He quit. Plain and simple. That's not easy to overcome.
And with a tag, maybe someone else will remove the decision for you.

Well based on that then there would be several players walking

 

[starfan1]

No agenda here

 

[Future]

Don't even tag him.

Let's roll with Rush.

Is this serious?

 

[csirl]

Id rather let the new HC start with a clean slate. Let him bring in his own QB.

 

[CanadianCowboysFan]

Troy Aikman says pay the man. Troy knows QBing

 

[NeonNinja]

Should be decision of next HC.

 

[Alohawg1]

Mortgage the house and grab Burrow in the draft. That kid is legit. I can dream....

And then sit on their collective butts waiting until they to lose enough games to have a premium draft pick, and hope there is a real stud QB at the Cowboy's selection.

In the mean time they sit and waste the careers of several really fine players because QuarterbacksRUs has top flight QB's on back order and it looks like years before the Cowboy's number will be called.

One last point, you do understand the agent takes all offers to the player, but also advises from the agent's self interest to get a bigger payday and to entice other players to sign with him? Right?

The culture in Dallas has nothing to do with Dak's salary.

Did you make a similar post about Zeke?
Dak was well under paid for the performance he has had but came to camp, played every game, put up the best numbers of his career, played the last month injured.
Zeke was making top five RB money, held out, got paid, and put up middle of the pack stats, and was awful in 20+ runs. He looked slow and nowhere near the feed Zeke of 2016.
But by all means, set an example of the team's leader who did not want the distraction of the contract hurting the team.
