I think they're trying to force Dak to agree to be traded.
Moving on from Dak and McCarthy. Saving cap for next year.
No they're not,
if that was their intent they would have went to him before March before free agency opened and they would have had this already agreed to, literally behind the scenes all they had to do was go to Prescott and tell him they don't plan to go all in they're not gonna be able to make this team better than it was last year they're hoping to put a competitive team on the field but if he wants to leave to give them a list of where he wants to go and tell him he's allowed to go seek a trade it would have already happened it's not happening...
they would have not been ambiguous trying to do things to hurt the team to make the quarterback want to be traded when most of the teams we're going to trade for a veteran quarterback, that's due for a big contract have already made-up their minds, they've already got their guy right now or going to draft one,
The odds of that happening are almost zero because they're not as many suitors NOW!, I mean you think that the front office aren't good businessmen they're not going to force Prescott into a trade right before the season starts like after the draft to make him feel so uncomfortable that he leaves?? The answer is no, if that was their game plan they would have done it before March,,IMHO that ship has sailed, it's not happening unless yes he does it on his own, like he's so upset but that's not who Prescott is IMO..
he knows he's making his money this year regardless and he will get paid by some team next year because he's going to be a free agent, he's in a win win situation he's on a team he feels comfortable with for now he finishes his contract and now he can go anywhere he wants next year....
He has zero incentive to leave this year, you think he's the first quarterback that believes he's in a uncomfortable situation or a no win situation, which by the way I don't believe that but most of the league is not even on the Cowboys level. this man has just now finished his third straight season of playoff appearances ,they've won two divisions, they've won 36 games, it's not like he's on a bad team.. it's quite the opposite he might feel like he has something to finish here and something to prove and I believe he's going to play it out no different than a any other player on a contract year he's gonna try his best and he's coming off arguably one of his best years and so will Mike McCarthy it doesn't matter if he's in a alleged lame duck here he's in a contract year they're going to do all they can to stay on this team in 25...
Hell, I don't even discount the fact that he might still get a long-term contract two weeks before the season starts.
fans just like to try to find things like reading between the lines there is no conspiracy there is no plan the front office wants to win this year they're not tanking they're not trying to force anybody off the team, they're literally slow to the punch they usually do this in the offseason and somehow people here think this is like odd.... this is pretty much how they do things they're going to wait till after the draft to make most of their moves,
the closer it gets to the season when they're under a deadline is when they'll do contracts like CD Lamb and or Prescott, if that's on their mind they'll wait until the last minute to do it... Right now, they're focusing on the draft then they'll know what holes they actually need to fill on this team and then when that's out of the way do get back to it If they feel it's important to them is discuss Prescott's future as well as CD lambs contract, it's coming, it's just not coming on the fans timetable, so everyone has to make up crazy conspiracy theories...
