At 40 million or 41 million per year average, were at the ridiculous point. If that is truly where we are.
Jerry could have had this wrapped up for 35 million or a little less two years ago and 35 million just last year and he blew it. So if he has to pay upwards of 40 million, then he blew it.
On the surface, it looks like Dak cares about maximizing his money. If all this salary conjecture is really true. His determination to maximize his money 3 years from now with the TV contract shows again, that we will have to do this all over again, and the numbers will be even more crazy. If the rumors are true.
Problem is we have NO other options at the moment.
Cutting Dak for nothing is just dumb. Simply cant do that. You either sign Dak 3 years and work on his replacement during that time or you trade him.
Giving away the rights to Dak is NOT an option.
Here are the options I see that make any sense:
-Sign Dak, play out the next 3 years, continue to build the defense and team around the QB
-Sign Dak, at some point trade him while you build the defense and team around the QB
-trade him now before the draft
Options that make ZERO sense:
-Let Dak walk
-let Dak play on the tag this year and let him walk
Either way, this Jerry/Dak contract is to the point of total stupidity. Needs to be done with already one way or the other.
