Then send us an insane FO then they spend the same.For the 20th time, NO sane FO is giving up 2 first round picks for Dak!

Of course, that would create competition though, and that could run up the price. Maybe not 40 Million, but it could result in having to make a decision at $36-37 million when without the competition $34-35 million might work.
Of course, the real key is guarantees, not average annual salary.
The way I understand it, the team doesn't get compensation with the transition tag. The transition tag just gives the right to match another team's offer. It's the non-exclusive franchise tag that would require the 2 first round picks.I don't think so. I think that if you put two 1st round picks in front of the Cowboys and give them a match 36-37, they would take the deal. I would if I were them. The truth of it is, IMO, Dak won't sign for 33 or 34, which is what I believe the offer might be, while he believes that there is somebody out there who would offer him more, I think they have to be shown that a deal is not there for them to be had at that price. So if he wants to get to that kind of deal, he either has to get this team to a championship game or play out the tag and roll the dice with what he has. To me, his best chance is with the Cowboys but it's up to him and his agent.
As much as I agree with you, all it takes is one team (maybe even one person) to value someone more highly than everyone else. Things happen every year that no one thought possible. Not saying someone will trade two 1sts for a QB (Dak or otherwise) just that crazy things happen.Mahomes and possibly Russell Wilson are the only current QB's a team might consider giving up 2 first round picks for.
I agree that you never know. I would be shocked if someone would give that up, but you are right that strange things happen sometimes.As much as I agree with you, all it takes is one team (maybe even one person) to value someone more highly than everyone else.
