Asking price for DK Metcalf down to 2nd round pick

[TheMarathonContinues]

At 25m$ over 3 years, signed at 24, and even then it was an extension with 2 years left of rookie deal. So the full contract is actually 19m$ over 5 years, plus we didn’t need to trade a 2nd rounder to pay that. If you get DK, he starts at 1 year 22m, then his extension kicks in. So you’re paying a player who’ll be 4 years older ~28m$ a year on average and forking up a 2nd for the privilege to do it.

30m$ a year extension for a guy not worth 30m$ a year to play a position that isn’t a #1 receiver which has not yet happened in NFL history, and losing a 2nd rounder doesn’t sound like the best possible course to take. Why have people suddenly become enamored with a guy who’s borderline top 20 in the NFL, when only a handful of guys make 30m$? You bring up his consistency, but he’s only ever been consistently above average at best. He’s a faster, but overall worse Amari Cooper. DK would relish in putting up 1100/7 every year. But the difference was when you paid Amari, you didn’t have anything else. Now you have something way better

I’d pay the extra 6 million for DK.

I'd go a 2026 2nd for him

 

[stilltheguru]

Yeah let's trade for an emotionally unstable wr to come to our weak leadership locker room. Again, makes sense.

 

[nhcowboyfan]

If we could've been rid of Dak we'd be golden right now.

Get DK and have CeeDee. ELITE WR unit.

Then make that trade for someone like Geno Smith (the most underrated QB in the NFL) and you're golden.

I was so hoping that the Cowboy's brain trust (an oxymoron) would have let Dak playout his contract this season. When it was announced a couple of hours before the opening game that they signed him to a $240 million contract, that completely took the wind out the sails of my fandom. Now we are stuck with him for at least two years.

Ya Im not in with DK and his inflated contract

I believe between 1 and 3rd round there are least 6 maybe more receivers that can serve as a #2

 

[CTcowboy203]

The draft compensation is fine, the 30m per year extension is the thing that eliminates us

 

[big dog cowboy]

Why not use that pick to get DK who is better than all of them?

 

[kumizi]

Cowboys can't pay another WR Ceedee money. Plus Metcalf is a pain in the ***. This should be in the NFL Zone. There is 0% chance Cowboys even call on him.

 

[starfan1]

Cost for one we already are paying a WR #1 money

And while he possesses a lot of skill he also will drop crucial passes

Even if I wanted him Jerry ain’t opening his wallet to that extent for a player that they didn’t draft imo

Think I’d rather he shell out for Jonathan Allen

 

[KingCorcoran]

Geno Smith? Huh?

The Cowboys already have a quarterback “like Geno Smith”.

 

[Chasing6]

We get dominated in the trenches. Let's trade for a dominate WR. Sounds like a GM Jethro type move.

 

[CowboysLakerBamaFan]

Some fans on here would want that to happen.

Paranoid

 

[CowboysLakerBamaFan]

It all depends on the QB and OC but that looks promising. Only issue is that 30 million should’ve been going to defense. I’d rather have DK for a 2nd then Deebo for a 5th wonder is there some buyers remorse.

Me too.

Deebo is an awesome person...and is declining quick.

DK seems like a decent dude

 

[Gambit]

If we are going to spend big dollars then do it on the defensive line or corner.

That’s an area where we could use a shortcut.

We absolutely should be drafting RBs and WRs. We lack weapons.

I would be in both those markets for trade. Asking price isn't the issue for Metcalf, the $30mil a year is.

 

[KingCorcoran]

I don’t think you need to worry too much about it. People complain Dallas is poorly run, but they’re not even close to the bottom. Watch New England or Jacksonville or Atlanta fork over googly-eyed amounts

They’re getting close to the bottom.

I’m not suggesting getting him I was replying about the most underrated qb claim.

I knew that all that talk about Nick Bolton was just talk. It usually happens that way these Bozos.

 

[jazzcat22]

Paranoid

Don’t be.

 

[Canadian BoyzFan]

The value is likely a 3rd.

 

[Section446]

Poor guy would have to take a downgrade in QB to play in Dallas.
