Not really. Less of an impact on cap next year % wise because the cap will rise again and 54 next year is less than 59 this year. If he performs great and takes us to an nfccg or SB, they can still re-sign him next year. If not, cut bait and run.
It’s foolish because the longer you wait the more he costs. He’s in year 8. This isn’t some audition. You can either win with him or can’t. Waiting to extend him after other guys get paid is stupid and it’s why he currently has a 59 million cap hit this year. If they had signed him prior to Wentz and Goff the cost would’ve been much less.
No secret I like Dak. But you know what he is at this point whether you like the guy or not snd we know what the Cowboys feel about him.
What the Cowboys are doing is trying to get Dak on a discount deal like they do everyone.
We’ve seen this book before but for those who don’t know let me tell you how this goes….
They will sight for a price for Dak that’s under value.
Daks team will reject.
Then the Jones boys will create rumors and attack his character and send them out to the press to try and lessen Daks value. ( see the D Law and Dez situations for reference)
Daks team will get upset .
Both sides will agree on an overpay.
We’ve seen this play out time and time again. Maybe it’s different this time….but I doubt it.
