I wonder if the rights to Dak can be traded?
Where Cincinnati would then be in position to negotiate and sign or tag Dak?
That might make it even more affordable.

Why would they trade just to negotiate? It would have to be a sign or tag and trade. Or if Dallas by some stupid reason just lets Dak go in FA, then they can get him for nothing but a new contract. Bt many other teams would be right there too.

The only other way which will not happen. Is Dallas can release Dak, as they have a week to do so, then the Bengals claim him off waivers, since they have the 1st options to claim him. Then they still keep their 1st round pick to trade to some other sucker team willing to over pay.

Just face the fact, Dak will be signed by Dallas and will be the QB long term. I hate to see your threads then. :lmao:

I love these Dak hating threads. It offs just another opportunity for the Ignorant mouth breathers to identify themselves. God bless you on this holy day.
Some of the "fans" are clueless. I don't know if they are serious or just trolling like I used to do with Garrett. Sometimes they make me laugh and others they piss me off.

Eason is going to be interesting in the Pro’s to watch.

Everything is there except mobility. He’s got by far the best arm in this draft.

Yeah, I'm kind of on the fence between him and Love. But either way, I think it's a lower risk than paying our current QB and losing free agents. If they do that then they would have to pray Garrett was that bad and MM is really great. Because we'd be going into 2020 worse off.

Hey, Slick, this isn't "anti-Dak"
It's "pro-Cowboys".
I'm looking for what makes the Cowboys a better team.
I just don't believe that Dak is that.

I am not 100% sold on Dak either, but I see way more good than bad. And that is hard to find in a QB that is at least consistent with a good team around him. That is what most other QB's are for their teams. You get a QB like Brady, Rodger, Brees, but all the other teams, how are they doing with their top picked QB's.
Other than KC, but let's see how Mahomes does when his surrounding players leave for big buck in FA.

I can't wait to see the haters threads when Dak breaks the bank. Hopefully a bunch of them will jump ship.

From 17 to 1 is too steep a climb and if CIN is actually interested in that, there are teams between 2 and 16 that could make a better deal, like MIA. But then you still have the problem of not knowing how good Burrow will be at the next level. Granted, he's had a season unlike any other college QB in history but he had the highest rated OL and WR corps and a damned good RB corps and the answer at pass game coordinator. The team that makes the most sense to go up for him is CAR, where that pass game coordinator is the OC.

But then, do we know CIN is interested in trading favorite Ohio son Burrow? There were a lot of signs for him at that last home game and the positive feeling of losing for a purpose. Is Brown going to risk pissing off an already pissed fanbase any further? He might be able to pull a trade for Stafford and keep them happy but I don't think Newton would do it.

Did the Romorooters jump ship? Nope, they'll stay around and continue to hammer away.

I've got too many more important things totally out of my control that piss me off to worry about some NFL player and how much he's making.

No it doesn’t make sense. Do you know what it would cost? Has to be at least 3 first round pick, a couple seconds and some thirds.


It makes zero sense to give up that much draft capital.


None, zilch, nada

Nah trade them 2 1st round picks and Dak (after he is tagged)...the Bengals are inept enough to for for that

I forget around the draft every year its always a bunch of guys who want to make a "splash" and want to get the best rated player when the Cowboys don't have enough to trade up to get it. And for a one year wonder too.....Dak's done it against actual NFL competition but people favor the unknown in Burrow....

Yeah because the Cowboys and their fans are such geniuses that they are the only ones that see a problem with doing that move lol. Even though Bengals don't have a history inept just of being cheap.........

Burrow isn’t even the consensus number one QB in the draft according to some draft experts I’ve listen to. Some think Taulia Tagovailoa from Alabama is better. No bigger roll of the dice than drafting a QB. If there’s no consensus number one QB you’re taking a real gamble.

If the Cowboys could trade up for Joe Burrow instead of signing Dak it makes better sense.
Burrows would then be under a rookie contract for five years, with a new and capable head coach in Mike McCarthy, and Kellen Moore leading the offense. The Cowboys would save big money compared to giving a big contract to a still unproven Dak Prescott.
The offensive line is still strong, and Zeke is still powerful.
In the short term and the long, trading up for Burrows is a no-brainer.
And signing Case Keenum would give them solid depth for a championship run by 2021.
It makes good sense every way you look at it.

It would make more sense to let Dak sign with another team and play the season with Cooper Rush at QB. Then when the team finishes 1-15, they will have the first pick in next year's draft when they can take to top QB prospect coming out in 2021. And they would keep all their other draft picks.

Did i hit a nerve...LOL. Dak is average and always will be, doesn't make him a bad guy or a bad leader just a guy who isn't talented enough to carry a team when need be. Sooner we move on to the next guy the better. Paying Dak anything above 26-28m is a waste of money so either tag him (transition tag) or trade him and try to improve. Just my opinion. If the bengals trade the 1st pick they will still need a QB. Giving them 2 1st round picks and Dak gives them equity with the picks and a QB who, if he is everything you think and say he is, then becomes a steal for the Bengals and if they are not inept as you say then they would jump at it immeadiatly

What are you willing to give up to move from 17 to 1 for burrow....your QB who had the respect and chemistry of the team and the future including at least 2 1s for a guy who may or may not prove his worth....nah

I favor Burrow and a cheap contract vs Dak and 35+ million.

I would also favor Dak and a cheap contract vs Burrow and 35+ million.

Talent for talent? Not other factor? I’ll gamble on Burrow being a better player then Dak.. Of course he is going to the worst situation in football so Dak has a big advantage going forward and should statistically do better then Burrow.

You're missing my point. You are smart enough to think Dak is "average" but you want the Bengals to trade for him. Its moronic lol. Saying Dak is average doesn't hit a nerve. There's a argument for that. The nerve you hit is saying he's trash but want a team to trade for him. That type of idiocy does hit a nerve for some reason lol.

Because Tua is way to undervalued by NFL fans from what I’ve seen.

It’s clear most people don’t know how good Tua can be.
