Twitter: Bob Sturm has hunch Dak is signed by Thursday at 8:30 AM

[blueblood70]

Weird deadline. I wouldn't expect a contract to get finalized first thing in the morning.

not done the night before and approved by the league by morning..

 

[fivetwos]

You can build quick these days. Rosters only last last 2-3 years.

Right. Teams can be completely rebuilt in 2-3 years....but with THIS crew??

No.

Same argument as Dak didn't win while taking up hardly any cap room, yet he is supposed to at 20%.

 

[WillieBeamen]

Jerry hit gold with Dak.

Nah

If they dont draft Dak, Romo is still playing and we probably at least make the CCG twice

 

[Nav22]

Only Dak apologists like you talk about stats for QB success

To me and most Cowboys fans “success” means getting to the playoffs and winning in the playoffs and getting to and winning CCGs and SBs

This team with Dak has made the playoffs 2 out of 4 seasons (not counting 2020 although the team had a horrible record with Dak as QB)

1 playoff win in 4 years starting

ZERO CCGs or SBs

that’s NOT success

Okay.

Now break down Deshaun Watson’s level of success, please.

Texans went 4-12 last season.

Go ahead. We’re all ears.

Hope he's wrong!

Tis the reason the HC and GM were both canned and now Watson wants out because they can't put quality players around him. Yeah, sure did work out really well for the Texans. Bad decisions create bad consequences, except if you are Jerry and Stephen.

 

[blueblood70]

BR just pushed notice says DC FO optimistic they will have dak signed by March 9th,, odd all these rumors are heating up..smoke =fire

 

[GroundZero1970]

Just get it done or move on. Either way choose

 

[Hadenough]

so who is going to ask Dak to come show us his ankle? or you think the team doctors, trainers et. al have access to all his medical record, and perhaps, there is a slight, tiny little chance they may know more than me and you...just a tiny itsy bitsy little chance....

I'm not saying his ankle won't heal up and in the eyes of a doctor be fine. But with that steel plate and screws he may not be the same player.

 

[Chuck 54]

To me it means talks are scheduled and there’s hope. I pray they sign him this week, sooner the better. If they end up tagging him, we will be totally hamstrung in free agency. There are teams in serious cap situations who are going to allow very good players hit the market. Signing Dak to a contract will lower his cap hit significantly, entice players in free agency to meet knowing we have our offense ready to roll, and allow us to roll with the punches and make the best decisions during the draft.

If they believe in Dak, they sign him now. The franchise tag is a huge mistake.

 

[5Stars]

Nah

If they dont draft Dak, Romo is still playing and we probably at least make the CCG twice

Dak will win us a Superbowl.

 

[Bullflop]

March 9th, is supposed to be the deadline by which Dak's long term contract is due to be signed.

What occurs then, is when a long term contract must be enacted before the franchise tag is due.

 

[Bluechillychild]

Bob Sturm? More like Mob Shurm.

Yeah Strum is one of the best. I hope it does get done so they can set about fixing all the real problems on the team. Dak is one of the bright spots.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

Peyton was drafted by the worst team in football. Day was drafted into the best offense in the NFL.

Learn an iota of football please.

I didn't say how the team was built. or the state of the team. his first four playoff games were all losses. he didn't go to playoffs his first year...so once they made it....four years in a row, 4 losses.

in 2015, cowboys offense was 22nd in the league, 31st in scoring.

hmmm, so who is that should learn and iota of football....please....

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

I'm not saying his ankle won't heal up and in the eyes of a doctor be fine. But with that steel plate and screws he may not be the same player.

again, what I said stands..... team doctors. team trainers. Dak's doctors and coaches and Joneses know more about his ankle than you or I guesses.

 

[Loso86]

Which would you prefer?

3yr, $120m fully guaranteed
Or
8yr $320m w/ $225m guaranteed

8yr would push the cap hit down the line into the years when the Cap shoots up

 

[DandyDon52]

I predict nothing happening with Dak this week.

 

[Corso]

I predict nothing happening with Dak this week.

I was giving this post the side-eye until I saw the hammer hitting the nail.
Color me convinced!

 

[visionary]

Okay.

Now break down Deshaun Watson’s level of success, please.

Texans went 4-12 last season.

Go ahead. We’re all ears.

Please stick to the topic

We are talking about the “success” or lack thereof, of your hero, one Dak Prescott
