I dont know what Dak or Amaris contract demands are but I can tell you that from the perspective of a fan, this is a lose-lose situation.
If they get Dak signed its probably going to cost top 3 money for his position I would imagine. I dont what that number is but it's going to be extremely high.
If they sign Amari I would imagine we are once again talking about top tier money, maybe 5-7 pay?
Either way it's going to be really expensive, I think we can all agree on that. I'm no fan of Jerry and how things are done with him as owner/gm but whatever he does here he will be trashed all over the media and specifically by us fans.
Pay the guys and its "Jerry is an idiot why would he spend this much money when we have so many holes on the team."
Dont pay the guys and its "Jerry is an idiot how can he let these guys walk out the door? Dak was good enough and the pieces around him werent now we have no QB and no WR."
As fans we want the best players we can get and pay the least amount possible. Dak and Amari are not coming on any kind of discount and now its either keep them and pay a premium or try and find replacements cheaper in the draft.
Personally, I dont see anyway Dak leaves. Just my opinion, Jones doesnt wanna go into a season without a QB and Dak has done enough to warrant keeping him.
Amari situation is probably a little more uncertainty because they may decide Gallup is cheap and developing enough to be a WR1. To me, Gallup is playing good now but he also has a tendency to disappear at times. I dont know that it's a product of the system, who we are playing, inconsistency by him, but he shows up at times in a way that makes him seem like hes turning into a big time player but then has games where he seems invisible. The bigger problem is can they let Amari leave knowing they gave up a first rounder for him?
Once again, I dont wanna lose any valuable players but its just a reality that it's going to happen at some point whether we like it or not.
It's not our money and we cant manage the cap but we do know there is only so much to go around so someone/multiple people are going to be allowed to walk.
