Committed to Dak for years to come?

[BKBDAD]

Unless the Cowboys don't mind taking a 30 million dollar hit give or take a few million against the CAP for several years down the line, I believe Jerry is making a HUGE mistake extending is contract! Dak's dead CAP numbers for the next 4 years are: 2023 - $89,000,000 2024 - $39,940,000 2025 - $32,810,000 & 2026 - $3,600,000. If the Cowboys extend and renegotiate Dak's contract, that money doesn't just go away, it just pushes down the road, meaning we are stuck with Dak even longer! Take the hit the next 3 years and then they can renegotiate or cut him in 2026. As for now, put as many good players around him as possible and hope he gets better! By the end of 2025, he will have just finished his 10th year in the league and they can then decide which way to go with Dak! Jerry suggested yesterday that he believes in Dak and that he is trending in the way of BRADY?? If Dak were Brady, he would have already won 3 Super Bowls and lost 1!! Jerry is drinking his own Kool-Aide AGAIN so until this mindset changes, we are who we are and no amount of great receivers is going to change this!

Jerry: Prescott corrects mistakes better than any QB I've ever been around.... he loves his dakaroo!!

So yeah he will not only extend him but give him a big pay raise ! I figure 50-55 mil a year.
It is insane lol, but it is the jones boys !

 

[plasticman]

Or....

There could actually be legitimate competition at the position.

Draft another quarterback!

It's the only way to add a legitimate potential starter without having to dish out another 30+ mil.

That way, if Dak's agent tries to play hardball, then Jerry has a better response than stall tactics. Because,of course, this is followed by an even larger demand by Dak's agent.

lol never thought of that, brainwash yourself with the repetitive dialogue and statements.

his latest is dak is natural born mistake corrector !!!@@@ lol
Dak may make a lot of mistakes lol, but dont worry he will correct those before new season starts!

 

[12+88=7]

Extended Prescott get the cap space. The cap is only going to go up especially after this year when the new contract kicks in.

Dallas can keep Prescott this year and next. Dallas can cut him in 2025 and take the dead money hit. Many teams have done this before and so can Dallas.

By 2025 Dallas will be restructuring other players(Lamb, Diggs, Parsons and others) to create space. It's not as dire as most believe.

yes this is why they should draft duggan.

Right now they have rush, but rush cant run like duggan.
They could also use Duggan this season in redzone much like saints used their running QB?

But jones boys have clearly made up their mind to extend dakaroo, as he is a natural born mistake correcter !!
Dont you know other teams envy jerry as they dont have one of those lol.

And when dak is extended, it will cost more than 30 mil !

you know I think they should make dak deal with the cap as is, take his cap hits, no restructure no extension, and let him
have the team that creates, and see how many mistakes he can correct then.

 

[plasticman]

If a quarterback can't help get the team to a Super Bowl during his first contract then what is the basis for the next one to be a "franchise" type contract in the first place?

They didn't have any other realistic alternative, that's why

The Cowboys find a quarterback capable of starting in the NFL and call it quits for the next ten years at the position.

Besides his inspirational determination and uncompromising drive to be the absolute best in history, what prevents a player from "semi-retiring" once he gets the big contract? I'm not even saying it has to be deliberate, he may be able to convince himself that he is giving everything he has.

However,

It has been proven time and again, how competition forces players to give more than they thought they had.....and it's that difference that can make a champion.

 

[Jake]

The answer is yes, unfortunately. They still believe in him.

They won't do that and, deep down, you know it. That is not how the Jones boys operate.

Dak being a Cowboy for years to come is eating you guys up? Heck, Dak just plain sucks. To hell with all he has accomplished or could keep improving on. You guys just want him gone, huh? Who are you going to replace him with without it affecting/stalling the team for the next 2-3 years? You think some of our key players are going to be here after 3 years? The Cowboys are not drafting in the Top 10 or anywhere close to it, so what else do you expect them to do? Tank the next season or two to please you guys who don't want Dak? What other mid-to-late round QB is going to step in as a rookie and accomplish what Dak can?

 

[noshame]

Draft a QB, let Dak ride the pine.
Maybe he'll take a pay cut to go elsewhere. If he truly believes in himself he'll go for the opportunity to play

Lol. Romo diehards requesting Dak sit on the bench while he gets paid. Funny how y'all never said that about Romo. It's not about y'all's feelings. It's about what is best for the team. Right now, the team has no choice but to extend Dak. He's still a 6-10 top QB. You don't get rid of such talent just because you want a Mahomes. Yes, draft a QB in the mid rounds to groom the next 2+ years, but you have no choice but to keep Dak and try to surround him with more weapons. This past season was a joke. He only had 1 legit WR while all the other playoff QBs had at least 2. Fix this Oline and figure out what to do with the RBs, plus improve the playcalling and pass routes/concepts. Add a few other pieces on Defense and get a good kicker. This team can certainly reach the playoffs again or possibly go further if the right decisions are made. Unless, y'all just want to tank the next 2-3 seasons just to appease your feelings? Smh

Sorry you're not aware of my stance on Romo. I think he's better in the booth.
I am also sorry about YOUR misplaced feelings for Dak.
The rest of your reasoning is flawed at best When Dak faced a bad defense he did just fine with his receivers TE and a uncovered gem in Pollard. However Dak under pressure, is inaccurate, afraid to throw into tight coverage, and zonesin on a check down receiver and is oblivious to defenders near by. Drafting a QB and letting the interception machine sit gives us a chance ,

The history of the NFL is full of QBs who came out of college looking like world beaters. only to be placed into a box by defenses they don't have the skills to get out of
Sorry for you , but the Cowboys and I will move on.

Dont worry it's all about Jerry trying to reassure: Dak, himself and the fanbase that he's got confidence in his expensive QB. Id also guess that he's trying to be positive and to get Dak/France to take a reasonable (non-financial approach) to an extension. I'm sure (but maybe wrong) but France is going to be looking for another MASSIVE increase to coincide with the CAP increase in next couple of years.

AC first dont lump me in generalized groups, like "you guys" or "Dak haters" Dak sucks"

To hell with all he has accomplished
Dak hasnt accomplished anything significant, he has got in playoffs, but is eliminated in WC or Div round every time.
He has been here 7 years, I think this is as good as he can do. I am ready for a new QB. Dak is boring.
But they gave JG 10 years and if they dont extend dak it would be 9 years lol, and if they do it will be 15 more years of boring dak.

What other mid-to-late round QB is going to step in as a rookie and accomplish what Dak can?

Well I think this guy Duggan could step in and do as good and maybe better than dak. Although I think he would be better if he
started in his 2nd year.
Again I will say dak has done nothing aside from accumulate some good stats. Rush actually did better than dak this past season.
and he was working with the same team as dak.

you always cite OL no good WR etc etc, but those are just excuses.
Dallas does or has had inferior coaching, but if you watch the games esp more than 1 time, you can see where dak is part of the problem.

There are many reasons why cowboys have not got past the div round, the past 7 years, but Dak is one of those reasons.

Dak isnt going anywhere lol, unfortunately the jones boys think he is brady and want to keep him till he is 45.

 

[Bullflop]

Truth be told, Jerry and Stephen have painted themselves into a corner with their absurdly poor management. Now that they're stuck there, indefinitely, they're pathetically unable to get out of it. Sure, it's easy for Jerry to blame Dak for insisting upon being paid according to the NFL standard salary for QBs but, in reality, he was solely responsible for failing to get him for a far lesser amount years ago. Now that they team is stuck with a financial situation that they're unable to avoid, the team as a whole will be bound to suffer. The players and fans certainly deserve better than what they're likely to be getting in 2023. Keeping expectations at arms length will surely be the order of the day.

I can't help but to feel sorry for Coach McCarthy because he'll be hard pressed to cope with the task that's expected of him. I fear this team is about to experience a year of frustration yet again, with MM having to take the blame for circumstances beyond his control. There seems a good chance that he might very well be blamed for a record that Jerry and Stephen are dissatisfied with at year's end. I wouldn't wish that on anyone. Let's not be surprised if our FO fails to tend to achieving what they'd like to and point an accusing finger at McCarthy for being unable to change the inevitable. Dak will sure bear the brunt of this FO's failures as well. It seems some things never change.
