Cowboys options with Dak from Overthecap

[Sydla]

Dude. You literally said Jones named his price.

You're saying that Jones ASKED for contract that was 15 million below "market rate"?

Is that what you're saying? Lol.

Semantics.

 

[Hadenough]

So if you extend Dak for 4 years not only do you not give this team any hope but you also prevent this team from having a high draft pic for 4 years straight. Assuming Dak wins 10 or 11 games. Getting rid of Dak the team will have a short term step back to take two steps forward.

Semantics.

Is this sarcasm?

 

[Sydla]

Is this sarcasm?

LOL. Yeah. Just kind of mocking Mac's response.

He doesn't know what he's saying, he's just trying to sound smart.

Interesting how it says if Dallas decides to go i this direction they should draft a QB this year in the first or second round so they have a future QB in place.

What happened to Trey Lance???!

He busted. It's safe to say that going into year #4.

But half our fans think Jeruh and staff discussed it and thought it was a great trade.

lol, yup. I wonder how many of them still have Drew Henson jerseys in the back of the closet?

Option 3) Spread rumors - make Dak feel completely unwanted so he would want a trade out of Dallas. Tell him he cannot come to the facilities.

Big fan of all that, especially the last sentence. I would takeaway his locker as well.

 

[Stash]

All of this just further proves that we have terrible people negotiating contracts. Again and again, they mortgage the future to keep a mediocre present.

 

[Mobinvans]

My option would be to cut him like yesterday....

CLEARY he is not a winner in the playoffs....be better off with a scrub QB game manager for $500k

Yes, this would be the best way to recruit players moving forward and help maximize our trade value.

CUT. HIM. LOOSE!!!!

 

[Ranching]

I’ve seen enough of Dak. Low ball him and play the rookie.

He won't sign a low ball offer....only way to move on is to cut or trade him.
Play Lance and draft a QB....if Lance lights it up, pay him...if he doesn't, let him walk and play the rook.....sign a FA backup

 

[fivetwos]

Now that I’ve read that, the Trey Lance deal makes even less sense.

There was no real avenue to hand it over to him without a full tear down, which apparently was never going to be the case.

No real need for a fourth round pick on a team that uses only the draft to improve I guess.

Also…am I missing something or shouldn’t those voidable years be used in conjunction with more of a ‘going for it within the current window’ type of strategy?

I hope I’m wrong and it’s not just more evidence of ineptitude.

What rookie is that?

 

[Jimbo123]

I love how people want to roll with Trey Lance next year without talking about the fact that, if he's good, they're going to have to give him the same $60m in 2025 lmao.

2024: Lance rookie deal
2025: Lance franchise tag
2026: Lance $65m

THINK PEOPLE

If they are going to franchise Lance it will have to be BEFORE May 2, 2024 (not 25) at 25M +

Omg fine. I shouldn't have said named his price.

The point is he got a huge deal, way above what he was actually worth, because he had all the leverage.

 

[Mac_MaloneV1]

If they are going to franchise Lance it will have to be BEFORE next season at 25M +

That's not how that works. They'd franchise him after next year.

His fifth-year option would be.

Nope, you're wrong. He was drafted the same year as Parson..
