Cowboys QB contract situation

[HungryLion]

According to Spotrac, Dak right now counts 59 mil against the cap in 2024.

The cowboys are right now projected to be 11 million over the cap.

The cowboys can’t carry a cap number that high for the QB. So their two options are: extend him or cut him.

Extending him allows them to spread money out further down the line and save space on the cap on 2024.

Cutting him post June 1 saves them 31 mil in 2024.

cutting him would save 18 mil against the cap.

Dak’s contract was designed to either be extended this offseason OR for the cowboys to move on.

As such, now’s the time to move on. You can’t extend Dak given how things went down again this season.

Cutting him plus making other moves with some contracts (cut Gallup, restructure players, resign Ceedee, etc) will add additional cap space putting the cowboys in actually decent shape cap wise.

The time has come to cut him and move on. Whether that’s giving Lance a season to see what he has or drafting a QB right away THIS offseason.

The time has come.

The obvious answer is to cut this bum and see what Lance can do. Either way, we’re going to lose in big games so might as well save money while doing so

Probably right, but I'd give the new coach a voice in this.

 

[CowboyStar88]

It’s going to get very interesting here.

 

[HungryLion]

Probably right, but I'd give the new coach a voice in this.

I’m perfectly fine with the new HC being involved in that decision.

I still think the smart choice is cutting Dak and then letting the new HC to decide do they try Lance first or letting the coach be involved in drafting who they think can be the guy

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

Probably right, but I'd give the new coach a voice in this.

You giving up on him and MM, Ranch?

 

[pacy]

I think Belichick said that he likes Dak.

 

[Risen Star]

Whoa. Dak PresGOAT wants to move on.

 

[Adiba1977]

Jerry will never cut dak. We’re stuck with him

 

[loublue22]

jerry does not have the cajones to let him go

 

[JayFord]

ill punch a hole in the wall if they extend him

hes 30

weve seen his ceiling

wish him well

 

[Risen Star]

I'd be flabbergasted if Jerry moves on. It's just not happening.

You’re not competing for 2/3 years with rookie qb

Yes...let's cut him and pick high in the draft for the foreseeable future. Great idea.

Literally just had an MVP type season and people want to cut him because of a pick 6...lol

How about we get a good defense that actually can get some stops so a few mistakes don't turn into people thinking this is a madden offseason?

or draft one.

 

[shabazz]

So by "past standards" here, Jordan Love has now possibly retired Dakota Prescott.

May as well stay consistent with this retiring thing

 

[John813]

They will probably restructure Martin and others this offseason to get under the cap. Hopefully the don't re-sign Dak but I'm not hopeful there.

 

[Coogiguy03]

We're really pleased with Dak and we want him here for the future to win Superbowls lol

 

[Adiba1977]

or draft one.

Drafting qb won’t win many years. Texans got lucky will lose next round. Rookie qb ain’t winning for years.
