I’m sorry, this statement is too coherent for you to type and for me to understand. Please rephrase in typical melonfeud tongue. K thanks!

If Tank gets traded:
1. Who becomes the emotional leader on the team, Witten?
2. It would be the New England thing to do
3. What type of message would it send to the current players?
IMHO- the answer to your questions:
1. Jaylon Smith, Byron Jones, someone will step up
2. I'm sure we'd get good value too
3. To the current players- the message sent is to play your butt off for your next contract either here or wherever- it is a business!

How does not having the surgery help his bargaining position? Risk it fails? Risk he has a long term recovery? Fear it is revealed damage is worse than perceived?

He's saying dude's damaged goods and should be treated as such.

While dude's saying he won't budge from his damage until a financial commitment, which is stupid.
He is correct for a rare occasion too

“Emotional Leader” is different from the leader of the team. Irvin, Dez, etc, were emotional leaders of the team.

Not always. Irvin and Dak were leaders and emotional leaders. Dez was just emotional. Wouldnt call him a leader by any stretch of the imagination. Going around yelling at people doesnt make you an emotional leader. Just makes you emotional. I'm sure his emotionality was annoying more then motivational.

From my memory, he often was emotional when things were going bad.

its actually not a bad strategy if your goal is to be released, it is a terrible strategy if you want to get a huge longterm contract with the Cowboys. This is why I think the final result will be that he gets cut...or traded for a day 2/3 pick draft weekend.

I believe at this point it’s about principle. He’d rather lose out on a lesser deal than play on another tag because that’s what he believes. In his mind he’s worth x, and they want him to play under the tag or take less money. He’d rather not play if that’s the case...

And he shouldn't. It is a significant surgery that leaves a player with twelve weeks until they have a full range of motion. If he had it right now, it is July before he can truly be close to start preparing for the season.

yes, it is basically - so u think u can squeeze me with the tag.
so u want value.
what happened to ur tag value if only get 6 games out of me for 20m?
if nothing else, they will never tag him again next year
too much trouble and just trade him for 50 cents to the dollar

Nonsense. He can take out an insurance policy against the potential loss of earnings if something goes wrong in the surgery.

This is a silly negotiation ploy. He didn’t factor in that the Cowboys could wait him out. At some point he hurts himself by not getting the surgery. Either he plays lame under the tag and hurts his chances of landing a big payday next year or he starts to limit his value on a long-term deal by raising real concern over missed time.
That's not how this works.

DLaw has a torn labrum which severely restricts movement of his arm.

He needs to have surgery to fix it, but he doesn't want to have the surgery until he signs a new long term contract.

Jerry aint playing that, if he is going to dish out top 5 money then he wants a player in tip top physical shape, which DLaw is not. See above.

Bottom line...……..Jerry aint doing a long term deal until DLaw gets his shoulder operated on...…...that's the big takeaway message here.
sounds right plus ill add what is holding the contract up is the first yr of the contract language and im betting it has a ton of bonus escalators that will make up 80% of his salary depending on snaps and games and thats the sticking point..Tank is and was wrong to not have the surgery within 30days of the last game..not man agree with this decsions..
