Dak extension coming ready or not

[baltcowboy]

I would definitely draft a QB and put some pressure on Dak from within. Win or we move on. We don’t see an improvement in INT reduction— you sit. You fail to deliver in key games— you sit.

He Wally Pipped Tony— he can be Wally Pipped in return.

If Dallas drafts a quarterback in the first three rounds Dak is done in Dallas unless he pulls off a Rodgers type a season after they drafted Jordan Love. I actually think that type of pressure would be good for Dak. The problem is I don’t know if there are any good quarterbacks that would challenge Dak in this draft after the top 5 guys.

Here are the options with Dak

1. Cut him and rebuild. Cost is 89M in dead 2023 cap space.
2. Plan to replace him after the 2023 season. Cost is a 49M cap hit this year.
3. Extend him out to lower his cap hit and try to build a better team around him.

Guess which option the Cowboy brain trusts are most likely to choose? Dak's contract was made to restructure and that's exactly what the team will do. Dak's not going anywhere anytime soon.

Can you extend him just to make the contract more tradable? I don't know enough about the cap.

As of now, he is basically untradeable (even if he waives the no trade clause). But is it possible to restructure in order to make it so you could trade him without absolutely killing yourself with the cap hit?

I don't think Dak is held in the same esteem as Stafford by the league. So, trading his contract and getting anything in return is highly unlikely. Plus, teams a QB away from being contenders would probably find Rodgers and Lamar jackson more appealing options. Derrick carr and Jimmy G are also going to be available at lower price tags.

How's that old saying go? Don't put good money after bad?

I'd take the hit and accept that fact that I would be drafting VERY high in the next draft.

Extending this out just prolongs the status quo.

Is that 2 to 3 years on top of the Void years. What's Dak going to provide or improve over what he is now. We are already paying him $21.8m for not playing for us.....add his contract on top and we cant afford the players to improve his game.

We hear about Dak's Rookie Contract and how we should of competed then.....but we forget the DEAD MONEY paid to Romo and Dez, killed the CAP in those years. You have to cut ties rather than extend the pain.

For those wanting the extension approach....it will mean we wont be in a position to go ALL-IN.

He has 2 years left, we are stuck with him anyway. Unless they really want o bow it up, take the cap hit now. We know this will not happen.
So the extend his contract, add 2 or 3 more years, spread the cap hit out over those years, but write the contract after 2 years they can still get out of it, but with less of a cap hit than now.

However that takes Dak to agree. He may still want an average of $40 million per year instead of say, $30 million. You know he will not come down much.

The FO have a dilemma. So they will live or die with it, and we fans may die (more) as well. Because Jerry will not dump Dak as he did Dez.

Yes agree, draft a QB in both the next 2 years.

Here are the options with Dak

1. Cut him and rebuild. Cost is 89M in dead 2023 cap space.
2. Plan to replace him after the 2023 season. Cost is a 49M cap hit this year.
3. Extend him out to lower his cap hit and try to build a better team around him.

Guess which option the Cowboy brain trusts are most likely to choose? Dak's contract was made to restructure and that's exactly what the team will do. Dak's not going anywhere anytime soon.

We're very pleased with Dak, we want to give him a RAISE!! LOL

Yep, we are going to be doing this at the very least 3 more times. I foresee, Jerry kicking the bucket before Dak is released or the team wins another super bowl.

 

[Coogiguy03]

Spread it out he still gets the guaranteed money right?

 

[Asklesko]

Sure why not. Another 150 million dollars for the mediocre moron.

Option 1) DOA. Who would you replace him with? That player is not on this team.
Option 2) Possibly... but you need to draft his replacement in April.
Option 3) "Dak's not going anywhere, anytime soon" Perhaps but that is why it is critical to draft his replacement or they will be stuck with Dak for the next 4-5 years and not win a ring.

May be worth it.
Draft a QB put him on notice.

The last time the Cowboys used a pick in the first 3 rounds to draft a QB was Quincy Carter in 2001 (23 years ago). You can't make this stuff up. They are fine with mediocrity as long as their bank accounts are full.

 

[CATCH17]

HOU, CAR, ATL, NYJ, LV, Saints, IND, would prob consider him an upgrade. GB, TB and BAL may not have a qb in short time.

Yeah but they can go sign Derek Carr who might be better for less and give up nothing.

Guess what? It will be 24 years. I will be very surprised if they select a QB at all, until the late rounds, if then.

I agree with you. But Jerry doesn't like drafting QBs unless they are going to play immediately. So, unless Cooper Rush leaves, we aren't drafting a QB bc he won't see a need for one. Thats just Jerry's history and he's not changing.

Right now, he is thinking the team is a few bad QB decisions away from the NFC title game. He is going to try to add some playmakers in the off season, OL help, and hope for a better result.

Which is the correct choice.

I know a lot of you could rebuild it in an offseason bc you have swindled the cpu logic in madden but it doesn't work that way in real life.

Who said anything about rebuilding in an offseason? Dak is how you get you in the mix next year and maybe with yet more talent around him, the team can overcome his inconsistency. Its not likely but its our best shot in 2023. Any plan that gets rid of Dak is a 3 year rebuild.......... unless you can somehow get out of his contract and land Aaron Rodgers.

 

[JJHLH1]

Dak obviously isn’t good enough to get us to a Championship game or Super Bowl.

Wish we had better options but his contract really hamstrings us.

Also Super Bowl quality QB’s are tough to find.

Nothing will change, unfortunately, but at this point we are used to it.

 

[nightrain]

Keep Dak for 2 more years, do not rework his deal and draft/sign QB prospects to replace him in 2 years (if not sooner). This way, if you fins that diamond in the rough, you can afford to have Dak on the bench while the other QB starts.

If the Cowboys are headed to FA for a QB, they will need to trade Dak. Not a likely scenario. Cutting him before 2025 is not a favorable option.

 

[USArmyVet]

Awaiting Jerry to do the stupid thing and restructure Dak's contract (thereby keeping him in Dallas for many more years) is like awaiting a colonoscopy....
