Dak is gone after this year and will be someone else’s problem, he’ll get his wins against crappy teams, lose to good ones, choke in the playoffs if they make them and then get 70m from a sucker out there

Cowboys will draft a qb and roll the dice between him and lance, it’s pretty clear at this point

It’s just Jerry being Jerry. He’ll extend him before opening day or it will send a horrible message to the entire organization minus Jerry and the haters.
Jerry has been sending horrible messages to the organization for the past 30 years. How is not signing Dak in the next 7 days going to make things any worse? It won't. Speak to anyone with a pulse within a 1000 mile radius of AT&T stadium and every single one of them will tell you Jerry doesn't give a rats arse about winning. So why would he care what the organization thinks about his decisions?

Yeah, I don’t believe anybody who says this. I listen to everything Jerry says in the media if and when I hear it. Whether I consider or indulge it depends on the context and assessing it with his previous words and actions.

Making contract negotiation comments in public like Jerry and Stephen routinely do are not only stupid but a low brow practice most teams‘ GMs usually handle by saying easy things like, “We are negotiating but we don’t comment about contract negotiations in public.” End of story.

All of these public postures and quotes, especially made by the team’s “leaders“ are nothing more than carnival barking and media slobbering for attention. It’s very 80s and 90s NFL much like a lot of things the Jones boys still do.

Whatever anyone here or with the team thinks about Dak Prescott, he’s been here 8 years and if this team doesn’t know if they want him or not, that’s crazy. Put it simpler- if the Cowboys don’t want him, they should just shut up and play out this year knowing he’s gone next year. If they do want him, sign him now because he will cost more next year.

Either way, Dak is going to be paid a boat load of money either here or at his next stop. That’s just what starting QBs cost nowadays. I didn’t say that’s what SB winning QBs get paid. Just starters. There are already 12 QBs in this league making $55 million a year, several who haven’t even won one playoff game. It’s crazy but it’s just what QBs cost. I know a lot of people would love to see Dak gone but right now there is no one ready to step into that role on this roster. And who trusts this FO to draft our next franchise QB?
Dak Haters Trust this FO to find our next franchise QB? :laugh: :laugh:

I’ve complained and vented on the culture issues we have in this team for years. Negotiating through the media is a big part of the culture issues. This drama would be a lot more fun to watch if it was the 49ers or the Eagles. This is very cringe watching it year after year with us. It’s not that hard to say “no comment” and move along.

It wouldn’t surprise me at this point if Jerry or Stephen leaked it to Jane Slater that Dak panics when his first read isn’t there. I can see them “starting the negotiations” there. Pure speculation on my part but Jerry and Stephen can be pretty petty. This whole offseason has been a master class in dysfunctional management. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not high on the idea of resigning Dak but I feel there are much better ways to handle things than what we’re seeing. We’re seeing total complete dysfunction originating from the FO. It sucks.
It was either David Moore or Randy Galloway who said a few years ago that anytime you see the term, “sources inside the Cowboys say” it’s always Jerry or Stephen. They love to manipulate the talk about the team and players in a way they think is “interesting”.

Sad that they don’t realize that the greatest sales pitch in sports is just winning.
