Dak has a larger cap hit than Mahomes!

[USArmyVet]

Hey... they say one of the best abilities is availability.

So then seeing as how Dak has missed 17 games in the last 3 seasons (34% of games played) perhaps Dallas should be looking for a new QB.

 

[BoysForLife]

No justification but the fact is there is a QB Market, like I said you dont have to like it but that doesnt make it not there. Many more QB's with a huge nothing on the Resume will be paid this year, you are welcome to scream into the void all you want though.

I'm not screaming into any void

Merely want to see the Cowboys win games.

That's my focus. And meaningless discussions about the "going rate" for starting QBs league wide doesn't really help the cowboys win games.

Well we could discuss the injury history of a guy who hasn't played a snap here in 7 years....

Or we could talk about the increasing frequency of injuries to the current QB

He's missed significant time in 2 of the past 3 seasons.

I agree they should be drafting a QB but not every year, you can’t keep them all or give all of them opportunities to develop. Find one that you think has some potential that can give Cooper Rush a battle for the backup job. If they can become the backup they may get an opportunity if Dak gets injured.

They should be looking for a qb every year until they find one. Dak is going into his 8th year and he has had a few injuries. He has shown his limitations especially in the playoffs. They should start looking to the future now.

Don’t know how long you’ve been following football but you can’t keep several QBs on your roster and develop them all. You simply can’t draft a QB every year and give them all an equal chance. You’ll end up having to cut one who could develop into a terrific QB somewhere else. There’s only a couple of preseason games and so many practice reps each QB can receive. You can draft one every 2 to 3 years.

To add to this it usually takes a couple years to figure out exactly what that QB needs around him also, take Hurtz for example they may have found the team formula just in time to barley miss the trophy and now... you pay him or start over.

OH YEA GOOD FOR DAK.....who cares about the Cowboys winning. A lot of people root for Dak more than the Cowboys.

Well Steve o , I'm not one of those people. My Interest in Dak is because he is the Cowboys QB, If he were a Seahawk I wouldn't care about him. And Yes Steve Good For Dak. He got paid . a little late but Jerry came through

Dak isn't even going to be top 10 in salary after this next round of QB's gets theirs, so forgive me for not buying into the Mob's boolshhh ok. Every other team that has won pays their QB. But Dak has to take a discount ? Why?

Man look I'm trying to stay away from Dak threads, because truthfully, I've already been benched twice behind BS and it just ain't worth my time. Daks here for a while and like all the Qb's that

put on the star before him, I want to enjoy his time here. So far so good, dudes pretty nice spinnin the rock. Maybe we can get to one Hell maybe we can win one. I rooted for Tony to, now Dak's up

But I'm gonna help you out, if you want a gang of dudes, that are full of blind rage and hatred of everything DAK, try Pappy and HIS Doggs. They have all the hate you can handle and logic don't mean a thing to them

PEACE

SF had Jimmy G.....traded a lot of draft picks to draft Trey Lance in 2021....and drafted Brock Purdy in 2022

So if SF can do it why can't Dallas?

They can, but what makes you think they will? SF GM looked for a coach who could come in and build a winning team with strong mindset to morph the scheme to the players strength... none of that describes how our Owner/GM does things.

 

[lukin2006]

Dan is below average. Patrick on par with Brady. That should make us all sick…jones is a huge fraud…

Well then 24 WINS in two years and A playoff victory away from home Should have shut you and the Minions up then

Feel free to move the goal post NOW , Don't worry , They're adjustable. We knew you were coming

They wasted a bunch of draft picks on Trey Lance and San Francisco haven’t been drafting a QB every year. They did it in back to back years. They weren’t sure if they were going to hang onto Jimmy G last year so they covered themselves. They made up their mind heading into the 2022 season that Lance would be the starter and they needed another QB in the event they traded Jimmy G.

Yeah but those weren't weak injuries. Any player's ankle would snap if a defender fell on it the same way. Anybody can injure their hand the way he did his, etc. It's not like players with bas hammies....

Those were serious inflicted injuries that anyone would have suffered in the same situation. Name one player in the world that wouldn't have snapped their ankle with the weight of a defender falling on it.

Name one player who's fingers would survive being smashed like his in the same situation. Dak isn't injury prone. His history proves that.

That doesn't mean he's the answer but he's definitely not injury prone..

It probably wont be, but the Cowboys have 3 options.

1) Eat the bulk of his cap hit now and create more flexibility next year or even more leverage in contract negotiations.
2) Restructure the deal push money into years he isn't even on the roster.
3) Extend Dak at an even higher AAV....the biggest piece here that worries me is that you are negotiating with Dak at a time when he has total control. The Cowboys need to get his cap number down and the first two options are not that great.

I think you're right that Dak's cap hit wont be that high, but I'm not sure the options to lower that hit are that great.

I would do #1 but jones boys will extend or restructure.
Cowboys are not getting to the SB in 23, so why not eat the cap, prepare for future.
They would still be relevant lol.

if they do # 2 or extend they will screw things up for a long time. And be stuck with dak for many years.

?..Ya need to quit b it c h ing about Dak's contract!....SMH!...Mahomes will have a 46Mil CAP hit very soon!...Dak is good for the Boyz at present IMO...His contract is about the 7th hightest amongst NFL QBs at present...Hell even Kyler Murray's is larger...And just watch Dak's high contract numbers fall drastically in the next few seasons...Besides, Dallas could of had Dak at around $28Mil about 3 years ago!...But the Jones (Old man n little Stevie) said no, and Franchised him for $35MIL...Dak plays 5 games and breaks his foot....Dak is not to blame for his contract... period!

Read your post twice. Made less sense the 2nd time around LOL

But, rant away. Clear train of thought be damned

 

[Hadenough]

They say a lot of things.

IF they keep Dak for the next 10 years then they will deserve the failure they receive.

If they sign Dak for another 10 years I'm going to get rich off selling we hate Dak T shirts.
