So with Dak's new request of 40 million per year vs 2 million a year for Rush, what can that buy in FA?

2 top tier DT's and a safety?

1 top tier DT, safety and TE?

Basically 3 top tier players (~12.5 million per player).

What would your formula be?

1. We don't know that $40 MM is even a possible number.

2. Regardless of what the number is, not giving that contract to Dak wouldn't save the team that amount because they would have to sign someone else to play QB, and the savings would only be the difference between what they would have had to pay Dak and what they had to pay someone else.

3. If the team ends up with Cooper Rush or some career backup at QB, that would easily offset any gains at other positions.

#BreakingNews: Dak Prescott and Agent Todd France have issued a counter-offer. The latest demand from Dak Prescott is a four year deal, worth $160 million dollars, with unknown guarantees. Prescott's demands are still holding steady around $40 million per year.

I just wanted to get an opinion of what 38 million a year could buy? All of the Dak stuff is speculation anyhow.

So OmerV, what would you like to buy in FA with that much money?

2 top DTs are about 20m per. A top S is around 15m. You can get second tier players for the numbers you said but not top guys.

You really wanna roll the dice with Rush? Dak isn't elite but he wins games. Can Rush?

Even if this is true, it's part of Dak's team's negotiation to force the Cowboys to meet them halfway between the Cowboys offer ($33 mil/yr) and Dak's demand ($40 mil/yr). They will likely settle halfway around $36 - $37 mil/year, thus making Dak the highest paid QB in the league until Mahomes and Watson reset the record later this season with their upcoming new contracts.

Gotcha, so maybe 1 S and 1 DT.

Then the next question would be is that enough to make up the difference between Dak and Rush?

Ouch! No wonder that poll has favored not signing Dak for that kind of contract. Sigh... it's a tough call, but Jones and company should definitely be doing their due diligence in looking at what is being offered out there for him and planning to franchise him regardless if they can't find a middle ground.

You make a very valid point that some have been saying for a very long time even going back to last season.

Basically it boils down to does the owner trust his GM & Front office/Coaching staff to run a replacement level player for Dak.
My guess is a real coach like Bill B, Parcells, name any great would not let Dak bully them into some outrageous contract.
If you are paying your QB and its obvious it should not take two seasons.
Place the tag on him that will allow him to go sell himself and get two first rounders or even a 1st and second. Bite the bullet get Keenum because honestly we are not winning the SB next year.
Let McCarthy get his legs establish this offense. Pay Cooper & Jones, bring in talent at DT, DE, Safety and let the rising tide lift the team.
We finally have a competent coach, let him go find a diamond in the rough.
There will be bargains in the QB market this off season. Don't be stupid and over pay.

It can buy a bunch of losing seasons and a lot of top 5-10 draft picks that you have to pray will pan out & will buy wasting careers of some amazing talent (ex: Tyron Smith, Zach Martin, Zeke Elliott, TFred, etc..)

Dak Prescott isn’t going anywhere, he’s either signing a massive contract or getting tagged. The threads need to stop.
