Jerry's money worth is staying relevant. And Dak has kept the Cowboys relevant. I just don't think Jerry's going to risk that on an unknown.
Any QB is going to keep the Cowboys relevant by just being the Cowboys QB.

Dak isn’t special just like Romo wasn’t special.

Heck, Cooper Rush kept them in the news for over a month.

I don't disagree with you but this is Jerry we're talking about.

Dak will be 31 in July, going into his 9th year on the job and hasn't even lead this team to a conference title game..why the hell would we be extending him? How many chances is he going to get? Just prioritize the young guys and scrub your hands of Dak when its time to.

1 2nd team All Pro does not equal highest paid player ever worthiness.
Its as much if not more than most of the QB contracts of the past decade can claim. For example it is the exact same number of AP accolades as Josh Allen who I think no one would object to having gotten his money (nor will they object when its his turn again in 2-3 years). The list of active QBs who even have any all pro selections is basically a small list of the best QBs in football. Even Mahomes, the best QB in football, has 1 AP selection during that same 3 year timeframe, and no one disputes how great he is (and in total he has 2 first team and 1 second team and again he is the best QB in football and no one argues that).

I think CD and Micah - Yes , but below Jefferson and TJ Watt contracts and Dak - No , either draft one next year or roll with what you paid for 4th rd pick. It can’t be worse than Dave Campo years

Jason Witten, Zack Martin, Tyron Smith never won anything and got 2nd large contracts, but nobody can say Jerry didn’t get his moneys worth from them.

I’ll reword it for you.

Tell me the players that have gotten 2nd large contracts from Jerry when he didn't get his moneys worth (burned) out if the 1st large contract?
What do you mean no one can say that, why because they helped win regular season games? Dak and Romo also did this..again there is no way to shoe horn this into "One Guy" who hasnt been here for 30 years of "Burned".. its like saying "Pay Micah and CD for their regular season stats but dont get burned by Dak's regular season stats again"...what dont pay any of them for failing in the playoffs if thats your definition of burned...

They’re Hall Of Famers. They above and beyond earned their money and did their job.

Dak and Romo are nothings that derailed the teams chances of winning instead of helping it. They played the most important position on the roster. They also played the smallest in the biggest games.

Why not just say you can’t name any example of Jerry getting burned twice by the same guy?

I am starting to think only 1 of the 3 get done, and 2 of 3 being a real possibility depending on how the year goes for that player. But upfront 88 might be the odd man out and possibly the easiest of the 3 to move for assets.

my first comment was saying you think Jerry has changed and im saying he has not lets not get that twisted...your definition of "Burned" and Jerry's are not the same and you named examples of players getting paid twice that burned Jerry in your own definition...Jerry doesnt think he has gotten burned ...ever...by any guy in 30 years..he paid Jaylon Smith and would stand behind that today if asked...he has also told you he WANTS Dak, you chose to believe he is playing some master game of hold them when again im telling you Jerry is telling you the truth...HOF, All Pro, MVP whatever none won a championship..and BTW you would have to walk all of this back if Dak wins one anywhere because he would then be in the HOF....he leaves in FA and goes and wins SOMEWHERE else and now he didnt burn Jerry? NONE of them won here thats your point correct?

1. Re-sign Micah if he doesn't demand a trade to the Commanders.
2. Re-sign CeeDee with an identical contract that WR Jefferson of the Vikings got.
3. Let Dak play out the 2024-25 season. If he gets us an NFC championship resign him. Short of that, let him walk. And extend Trey Lance.

You believe what Jerry says over what he does?

He can say whatever he wants about the Jaylon Smith contract, but what did he do with Jaylon?

I dont think #3 will be Jerry's choice, i think Dak may be done with Jerry...seriously, i dont really see a good reason Dak would not go to FA next offseason. I'm betting CD and Micah keep those contracts short as hell also with the QB situation in 2025 looming..if their agents are any good. Cant really blame them at this point.

Did he get a 3rd contract though? Did Jerry get burned twice by him?

Ya know… the whole thing you’re trying to argue with me about?
no again we are arguing if Jerry has changed..and he has not ...and he has payed players who have never won anything more than twice...you also can not define "Burned" as Jerry would describe it...I have never heard him say he felt burned by any contract ever...

Take the L for what? Jerry would have to actually do what you say he is doing for you to be right, i dont believe he is...he will make a run at Dak you can bet on it, your Dream rests on Dak being done with Jerry...i do believe there is a good chance that is the case...
