Think about all that we’ve given up for this teams buy in with him
-cap hell for the next decade
-losing out on good players and free agents
-he’s about to get his second coach fired next year
-the 2016 decision to go with him over Romo leading to a first round exit
-squandering the best cowboys team in 20 years with another first round exit due to poor qb play
-cutting or trading players who don’t get along with Dak or we just can’t simply afford them anymore
Think about the following qb option we had the last 2 years
1. Tom Brady
2. Aaron Rodgers
3. Russell Wilson
4. Dashaun Watson
5. Matt Stafford
And Dak makes more money than all of them. I know this isn’t all predicated on Dak but it’s kind of hard not to feel that we’ve been cheated out of something since we signed him to this ridiculous deal
I was worried that Dak's 40 mil deal would cap-strap us. And it has. It's the reason we couldn't keep Amari Cooper and had to trade him for peanuts. We got a 5th for Coop because we had to unload his contract. We used a 1st to get him, and gave him away for a 5th. Did we at least get a back rub too? It's why I wish Jones had played hardball with Dak, keeping him to no more than 25 mil. If no one else had signed him, he would have had to have taken it. If someone else signed him, then you sign a stop-gap veteran QB and draft one as well. I'd rather have 25-mil Dak and Amari Cooper or Mac Jones and Amari Cooper.
