Both sides are always hopeful in the early stages.

True but no deal can get done until they start talking with each other. This is but a 1st step in this years contract talks, there should be some sort of foundation or starting point from last years talks. We will see. I just would not be surprised if this is done fairly quickly this time around.

but ALAS, they will come up "just short." As Stephen Jones loves to say.

I think it's already done, just smoothing out the edges. I do believe Prescott when he said he was ready to sign. I think he had held his ground about all he wanted to and I also beleive this is the team he wants to QB above any other. He always dreamed of being the DC QB but I think it outperformed his dream. I also think that's one of the reasons Booger wants him to stay. He wants a QB that loves his team as much as he does.

I'm "hopeful" that a reasonable deal is agreed to.

I believe Jerry will let Dak walk before he signs him to a terrible contract like he did Zeke, Jaylon, and Tank. I think any reasonable fan can see that Dak is just not at a level that can elevate this team to where it needs to go without a lot of help around him. We saw what he looked like pre Cooper, we saw what he looked like last year going 8-8 and only beating 1 team (A bad Eagles team early in the season) that made the playoffs, and we saw how he looked against the two good defenses he played this year (Rams and Giants). Yeah, he was putting up a lot of yards this year (minus the Rams and Giants game), but that is because we had to pass the ball from about the 2nd quarter on to even have a chance because of our historically bad defense. That defense will continue to be bad if we are handcuffed by another bad contract.

I believe we can win with Dak. I do not believe Dak will ever be good enough to win without a lot of help around him. I think Dak is more of an Aikman type. We can win with elite tools around him, but he will never be good enough to carry a team. Signing him to a 40+ million dollar contract eliminates our chances of putting the pieces around him that he needs to succeed. Also, all of this coming off an injury that we have no idea how it will affect him both mentally and physically.

In the end, after all this drama....

Itll end up being a jaw dropping number in favor of the player.

Then we all question why Jerry bothers with the holdout......then we realize how many headlines this has grabbed....as well as turn heads away from his garbage team on the whole.

Todd France stands to lose alot too if this Dak deal doesn't get done. He just joined a new agency and promised this BIG signing for them in Dak. He he fails to do so, its not good. SO, all parties involved need to come together and get real.
