What is Jerry supposed to say with no QB lined up? He doesn’t want him? Dak still has a year to play out and with the change in OC, it’s probably clear Jerry isn’t going to extend Dak without the new OC working with him for a year. Jerry in the same interview praised Linehan.
Jerry hasn’t hurt himself in any way and Dak isn’t in any real position to demand anything.
What's Jerry supposed to say?
How about nothing. "We don't negotiate contracts in public".
Instead, Jerry talks about how Dak is his QB long term and he is going to get paid.
He does himself or his team no favors. Dak's agent is probably drooling as he is collecting all of Jerry's quotes to throw back at him to maximize his money.
I know that's the agent's job. But Jerry doesn't have to make it easy for him
