The Jones’s have never been the type to get out in front of things..

Dak will get his deal.
Signing deck and making him a quarterback is getting in front of things. But you’re right it’ll get us a deal and will excel

That would work as well as extending Andy Dalton with a fist full of picks as well.

Not the same,,, I'm sure the Niners fans would have loved to have Jimmy Johnson and Troy Aikman show up and win it for them,,, not!

This is a completely different point...and could be another way that Dallas could be falling behind on current trends to get ahead of the current quagmire as to cap figures. It doesn't involve just the concept of a lingering offer to Dak. More is involved...
Rodgers cap hit rises to $36.4 million in 2021, $39.9 million in 2022, and $28.4 million in 2023
So, no. It doesn't do any of that my brother.

And with Dak you can likely extend him years in advance (rolling forward cap hits) because he isn't near retirement.

Rodgers cap hits are hard and fast. So hard and so fast the Pack went and draft a kid outta Utah State to replace him.

The site listed here is the very worst Cowboys related site there is.

AR won't speak to his parents but you think he'd make up with McCarthy???

Seriously, new-age journalists please sanity check this stuff.
I know you have gotten hosed big-time in the market place but this desperation stuff for clicks is just sad.

Listen, there still is Andy Dalton...but who said the concept is only involved with Rogers? Nobody! Frequently tossing buffalo chips in the road...listen. The article pointed to a type of a move. They already drafted their option for a new franchise quarterback.

Dak Prescott probably could be traded for picks, next season, and with four additional picks, there would be enough ammo to get the preferred quarterback in the next draft.

What WAS added, is that quite possibly, Rogers would be hitting the market then. That would require additional thinking and affect potential trade values. This year, there was plenty of activity with quarterbacks.

Dalton and the top QB next draft, would clean cap room and give a 5 year unencumbered period as well...not at all stupid.

ARod will be what?...38 next year. Plus, he doesn't like Big Mike. Stop it.

1. Sign Dak
2. Trade Dak and use picks to get Fields or Lance.

The article is goofy.
From a known site of goofiness.
You defended it because you are desirous of any non Dak option so are grasping at straws.

You stated in some weird version of English that it would help the cap; it doesn't.

Right now DAL has 31.4M tied to Dak in 2020 and 0 dollars in 2021.
If all they care about is cap mgmt that can pay Dak his franchise tag then let him hit free agency.

But of course they won't and in July he will get a deal for 4 or 5 years.
A deal that will be very rich but likely hit the cap less hard than AR hits GB in 2021.

GB likely has to cut AR and let him go for free. OR eat another year of the deal. OR PAY someone in trade to take him.
It is not likely anyone will trade for the final 3 years of that deal as is. Ages 39, 40, 41 at 33M+ per year.

Dallas Cowboys should keep an eye on Packers quarterback situation
https://thelandryhat.com/2020/05/08/dallas-cowboys-packers-quarterback-situation/



The winning blueprint in the NFL has been to find a franchise quarterback. But has that strategy shifted? And what does that mean for the Dallas Cowboys?
The Dallas Cowboys had a very successful 2020 NFL Draft with a rookie class that is value-driven and heralded as their best in almost two decades. But the story of the draft was the Green Bay Packers trading up in the first round to draft a quarterback with the 26th pick. The Packers have a quarterback, Aaron Rodgers, who is Hall of Fame worthy and is still playing at a high level. He is signed for four more years and has expressed a desire to finish the contract which makes the Packers decision to draft Jordan Love fascinating...

...Rodgers will cost $21.6 million for the 2020 season according to spotrac.com which is a relative bargain for a quarterback at 10.9 percent of the salary cap. His cap hit rises to $36.4 million in 2021, $39.9 million in 2022, and $28.4 million in 2023. On the other hand, Love will likely cost the Packers $12.4 million total over the next four years when he signs his contract with the Packers having a team option for a fifth cost-controlled year. Montez Sweat was the 26th pick in the 2019 NFL draft and signed a four year $11.6 million contract which was 6.8 percent higher than the four-year, $10.9 million contract Calvin Ridley signed in 2018 as the 26th pick in the draft...

...I think the Packers will strongly consider trading Rodgers at the end of the 2020 season. This would be the same move the Chiefs made when they traded Alex Smith after the 2017 season and turned the franchise over to Patrick Mahomes paying dividends with a Super Bowl championship in 2019. The Packers will absorb a $31 million dead cap in 2021 but will have three years after that with an affordable quarterback...

...Could the Dallas Cowboys get in front of the curve by not signing their quarterback Dak Prescott to a long term deal? Might the Cowboys be able to flip Prescott at the end of the 2020 season and dip back into the rookie contract quarterback pool? If they do, they better be warned. The Green Bay Packers just might have their own Hall of Fame quarterback on the trade market at the same time.
Just somebody trying to make news where there isn't any. Didn't address that Rodgers could want to redo his contract especially after Mahomes signs, Jones are not going to let Dak go, McCarthy and Rodgers do not really get along if anyone bothered to read the troubles between two years ago, and as good as Love might be it still will take him a couple of years to get there. Really is a silly article.

If you don't want to listen about cap management and a progressive approach..that's on you. But to insult me as being naïve and casual in intelligence, stick the insults in your pompous backside, Ace...simple, if all about potential is boring to you, instead of acting like a pompous jerk, stay off it.

I need no further replies from your style of 'all knowing.'

You NEED NOTHING FURTHER from me...

Really is a silly article.

An approach on how to flip and not miss a beat, was presented. How many quarterbacks are actually being drafted right now, and hitting home runs? Quite a few are really good in current drafts. You really think that both an upgrade and much cheeper 5 year period is stupid?

No, the article raised a valid potential...but Rodgers provided the potential for presenting the view. Who cares about Rodgers anyways?

From what I understand, Rodgers and McCarthy didn’t get along, right? So that would squash this thought immediately.
Coach/player relationships is overrated. It won't happen, but if it did, it wouldn't be an issue.

Dallas could have drafted Love themselves, and had $30M+ extra to spend on free agents, plus whatever picks they could have gotten for Dak if they chose to trade him.

That's not the way Jerry swings though- he loves spending first round picks on WR's! He likes sexy picks. He'll sign Dak too.

It will be interesting to see how Love develops as a QB. I would not be surprised if he was better than Dak after a couple of seasons.

Dak isn't going anywhere.

It's that simple.

That's why he spent all those 1st round picks on the OL. I wondered what that was all about. Or DE (Taco). Or LB (LVE). Or CB (Clai). Or Spencer, Carpenter, Ware, Newman......
