This is ridiculous. Fan of Dak's or not, he would be in high demand if truly on the open market.

By who?

Facts.

it's funny. He names inferior QB that got that kind of money and concludes no one else would pay that type of money.

Tannehill got a truckload because he has done something Dak hasnt done yet. Take his team to the AFC Championship game

Jags wouldnt do it because they are re-building

The fact you think Tannehill took his team to the AFC Championship game says all one needs know about you.

Dalton would only dream of the supporting cast Dak had . Dak is the luckiest player , and he fails to appreciate it . One cowboys team official said if Romo had not got hurt , Dak would have never seen the field . Amazing how agents have affected players’ perspectives.

Okay...but if Dak played like crap (instead of winning Rookie of the Year Honors) after Romo got hurt, Dak would have never seen the field.

In fact, if Dak did not play amazing in preseason, in place of an injured Romo and Moore, Dak would not have seen the field because Mark Sanchez would have started.

What is your or this person's point?

If Bledsoe didn't get hurt Romo would have never seen the field? What about Tom Brady or Kirk Cousins or Nick Foles? This is a nonsensical argument.

The fact that you mentioned Brady in the same sentence as Cousins and Foles says all anyone needs to know about you.

Dak played well enough in his rookie year to earn the starter status . But he is not elite . He is 1-6 last year against winning teams , and has accuracy issues , which he has not been able to shake off . My point is that he is a 4th rounder who is the QB of the most valuable franchise . The offer he got (35 mil) is top 2-3 in the NFL . This team and fans have given him every chance and support . It seems he does not appreciate it . And reality will hit him soon if he doesn’t wake up . If Dalton does well in camp , Dak will be booed the next time he chokes , and the controversy cycle begins .

New England. I think Belichick is going cheap this year as they have very little cap space. I highly doubt they'd be in the market for Prescott this year.

Carolina. Even less of a chance that the Patriots since they just signed Bridgewater to 3 years 63 million. Can't cut him due to the ridiculous dead cap over the next two years. Can't sign both because the combined cap hit would be stupid high.

Washington. If they didn't want to go with Haskins they would have drafted Tua while they had the chance. Signing Dak after the draft would make no sense.

New York Giants. No. For the same reason most teams wouldn't. They think they already have their QB. They're not signing any free agent QBs unless it's for backup.

Forgot about Bridgewater but not sure Commanders and Giants are convinced they have their QB.

Parcells put romo in the game because Bledsoe was stinking up the place. It wasn't due to injury.

We now have a viable fallback, whereas Dak was our only option before. Sure, Dak may be the better QB, but Dalton is an experienced vet, and with the weapons on this offense, he could win a lot of games.

How many playoff games? :muttley:

DallasDW00ds0n · May 3, 2020

I’m not big on Dak but this guy is wrong. It’s the market and that’s what he’s getting. Teams like the Jets wouldn’t even blink.

I'm up in NJ Giants territory, they are happy and ready to go with Jones.

We now have 4 QBs after signing pro bowler Dalton. Dak hasn't signed a contract or tag, the team is getting frustrated with him and the other teams are seeing this also. This doesn't help his cause.

I'll roll with Dalton and Nooch at this point, trade Dak for whatever we can get for him and recoup the 31 million in cap space.

EMMITTnROY · May 3, 2020

I think we'll end up paying Dak his $35 million or whatever, but this thread brings up a very valid point.

The Cowboys don't have to pay him that money. There's no real landing spots for him as far as teams who would and can pay him $35 million.

The whole thing is silly. He wants to be paid like the #1 QB in the league, when he's about the #10 best QB in the league. He's won one playoff game. All the top paid guys have either won Super Bowls or been to them. He has no other realistic landing spots. The Cowboys now have a very capable backup QB that would save the team $30 million or so that the Cowboys could use on a couple other star players.

I like Dak, but his wanting to be paid like the #1 QB is very hard to understand.

I feel the Cowboys have the leverage now, but I still have a feeling they'll cave and give Dak what he wants.

Jerry is the only idiot that would give him that deal.

Most teams around the league have their guy under center.

Pats wont sign him

Jags are tanking for Lawerence

Bears wont sign him after trading for Foles and that contract

I agree on all points except I think Minshew is a lot better than the media is giving him credit for

That statement is totally ridiculous. Tanhill went 8 for 15 with one interception and two fumbles with a QB rating of 61 in that first round playoff game. So he did absolutely nothing to advance his team to the second playoff round. He did everything possible to LOSE that game. It was his entire team and coaching that won that game.

In contrary he went 21 for 31 with a rating of 109 in the conference game and had a nice game but lost.

That fact right there is why a hate the whole W’s and L’s put entirely in the QB’s shoulders.

Hopefully, we don't need to find out...but at least we breathe a little easier now.

I hope we never pay Dak even close to 30mil any any time. Dak can pack and see what he gets next year on the non-exclusive tag. Dalton is legit with our offense.

We will never know... but I think Bill belicheck might.. if he had the chance

So let him by Dallas changing the franchise tag to a non-franchise tag and allow Dak to work out a contract with New England and Dallas then gets back compensation in the form of:

New England's 2020 2nd round draft pick Safety Kyle Duggar, New England's 2021 1st and 2nd round draft picks.

Meyers is an idiot. "Stupid money"?. I didn't hear him complain when Eli got paid. This is the level of stupidity you get when you go to a NY Media type, in the tank for the Giants, for perspective.
