The spicy, smoky lemon pepper is going to be an act of love. I'm going to make both hunter's strips and thin flanks.
We'll see how it goes! I'll let you know when I start.
Damn........Now I'm hungry!

I say we give Dak a 2 year contract. That way, we don't waste a tag, and he gets what he wants. A short contract so he can "cash" in on the next big market changing price.

However, we draft a QB either this year or next year to sit behind Dak just in case he's average again. We will treat him like the Chiefs did Alex Smith. He will get a chance, however, the rookie sitting under him will have his chance as well. If Dak fails to step up to the plate, we let him walk after his contract year, and play the rookie while we have one or two good years left out of Zeke and the O-line. We may have a Mahomes situation on our hands if we go with this method. Also, this should please the "Pro-Dakers" because they will no longer have a albeit terrible HC to blame. It's all on Dak now. He's going into his 5th year with a new HC. There is no room or reason for failure. If he fails, 2 years is enough time to reveal the truth of who he is.

Now, some will ask, "What if the rookie is a bust?". Well I will answer that question with a question. "What's the worst that could happen?"
Say we enter Dak's contract year and he has yet to reach the big game. The worst we could do with a rookie is we don't reach the big game.
Some will say, "We could go 0-16 with the rookie!" Tell me. What's the difference between 0-16 and 8-8 (let's say we miss the playoffs with 8-8)? You miss the playoffs either way. All it is is a difference in draft pick in the end. You aren't competing in the playoffs, you aren't competing for a superbowl, both seasons end at the 17th game. There is no difference besides a flashy record. Difference is, we have a lot more to build off of with the cheap rookie and 1st-2nd pick in the draft.

If 2 years is not substantial enough, I also saw this post in another thread



Tagging is not ideal, but it may not be all that bad.

Tl;dr: we need a rookie QB this year or next year. We can do it by either giving him a short contract or tagging him. If he refuses, we just need to get a rookie. I'm not interested in someone that holds out when that same person just went 8-8 with average play for the latter half of the season.
If im Dak I want the Tag to cash in one year 1 of the CBA and also cash in on the tag.

Dallas needs to have an alternate plan if Dak doesnt except a lower tier QB offer. They should bring in Case Keenum or even bring in Marcus Mariotta.

You are seriously desperate.
And it's accept homie, not except.

Does one mean proposition or preposition?

FIRST, we will be paying him. Secondly, MM likes QB and values the back up guy. Which means I can see MM drafting another QB as well. Its how he rolls. Nothing against Dak at all. Cooper Rush better watch his back.

I can see a scenario like Aikman and Steve Walsh. Meaning Dak is the starter, but he will have competition in Camp via a draftee or free agent. I like Fromm getting drafted if he slides .

One good thing that will come with Dak's contract being resolved is these fantasyland threads will stop.

Doesn't matter if you're for it or against it, it's going to happen. Jerry will cave as he did with Zeke.

Yeah I can't see him taking a 2 year deal. He wants a long term deal or will force the Cowboys to tag him.
I could go along with a tag. If he improves, great! If not, at least we wouldn't get killed with the cap.

Depending on the contract structure... Stevie-Boy can make one that gives Dak whatever he wants and still make the contract tradable.
I just don't have much confidence in Jerry's son.

If you could rent Brady or Brees for two years, would you still sign Dak at $35 - 40 million?

Hmmmm? Would you? Would you?

Brees: kinda... yeah. I think yes for a one-and-done. Brady? Dude's toast.

I agree. Tom's days are numbered. But one thing about him. He won 70% of his games against winning teams. The closest guy to him is Big Ben at 56.7%.
