Dak No Trade Clause

[KingCorcoran]

Losing Dak for a 3rd comp pick would be as idiotic as trading for Trance.

Disagree. Nothing is as idiotic as trading for Trance.

 

[khiladi]

Because those of you who thought GM Jethro had leverage were 1M % wrong.

Not as wrong as you thinking Dak is actually a good QB, Tad..

how did that turn out? I’m pretty sure you didn’t think he would suck this bad.. so bad he looks like the worst player on the team.. worse than even Mazi or Zeke..

the narrative you are engaging in the try and spin this into a positive to save face is so obvious.. Dak sucks.. the whole world knows he’s a fraud at this point, Tad..

Dude runs like 2 miles an hour… can’t blame that on any roster…

 

[khiladi]

Dak will eventually have no choice of where he wants to be traded too. He will only have choice with regards to teams willing to trade for him, which are going to be desperate teams that will end up regretting it.

Bill Bellichek doesn’t even have a job.

Right now the endorsers are banging their heads against the wall..

 

[TNCowboy]

Yup
They worked it out
Drnver wanted out
Howbad does JJ want out by mid next yr?

They didn't work anything out. Denver released him and had to pay him all of his guarantee, other than the minimum, which Pitt is required to pay. There was absolutely nothing to "work out". Denver released him and they got nothing in return.

 

[mattjames2010]

There are probably 10 to 12 teams Dak would agree to go to. Love to go to. But no team is going to give up anything to take on his $60 million AAV contract. If Jerry wants “him gone” he could give Dak and his contract away. If he wants something in return Dak will remain a Cowboys player. The clause doesn’t mean Dak won’t play elsewhere, but it isn’t “meaningless”.

There are absolutely teams that would take on that contract and I'm really tired of reading so many comments acting like Dak is untradable. The history of the league shows how desperate franchises are for QBs, there are QBs MUCH worse than Dak that teams have traded for or strapped themselves to big contracts.

This is what I am meaning that it is meaningless - there are teams that would trade for Dallas and if Jones wants him gone, he will be gone. Dak is not going to stay and ride the bench - he can go elsewhere, get the same money, and play. About the only advantage Dak would have here is that he'd have a little more say in which of those teams bidding to trade for him he'd rather go to.

 

[Buzzbait]

Most elite players have them

But Dak is not elite.

 

[ClintDagger]

Dak can be traded. All you have to do is make him the backup and he will beg to be traded. And while very few if any would want him, there are some franchises like the Raiders that are even dumber than we are. Somebody might take him but you are probably going to be on the hook for a lot of it.

 

[buybuydandavis]

Jerry let Dak be the epitaph on his legacy in Dallas.
He deserves to struggle after kicking fans in the teeth while he lived out his fantasies.

We will probably get a lot of reaches in the next few years as Jerry tries to dig himself out of the Dak sized hole he dug.

 

[buybuydandavis]

Yep, deal with it, Dak is in Dallas as long as he wants to be. Only thing that can be done is to piss him off and he waives the clause.

That's what I thought they were trying to do before they extended him.

 

[sbark]

They didn't work anything out. Denver released him and had to pay him all of his guarantee, other than the minimum, which Pitt is required to pay. There was absolutely nothing to "work out". Denver released him and they got nothing in return.

And thats what will happen here

It will "get worked out"

What's the earliest we can get fans who are casual fans who think that quarterbacks still our issue from posting??????!!

they have to have their own separate little playground in here and keep making up that post as if he's the one that's the problem what's the earliest we can get those fans out of here and then only allow the ones in here that understand the game of football is inside out ??

and that should start a post what's the earliest our GM will wake up and actually see the need to actually build a team around his star quarterback and yes top 10 easy star quarterback in the NFL and everybody wants them gone you guys are absolutely clueless and delusional if you keep thinking like Tony Romo that he's the issue he's not the issue the issue is everything else you saw in that game the offensive line is bad the run game is inconsistent you got guys on easy plays like playing volleyball with a pass that should have been pitching catch and he can't even catch it he takes him three tries to catch it we got guys that can't get open we have a coaching staff that can't even scheme their players into better situations I've never seen so many route trees ran in the same area at the same depth over and over it's like we have a high school offense and you keep thinking it's the quarterback ??!!


I mean you can't block and you can't run and your quarterbacks getting beat up like in 2020 I mean isn't that the narrative from the offseason historically bad offseason we don't put enough talent here and then we have attrition with all the injuries especially on the defensive side of football this is a team game it is a big systemic team problem it starts with the front office the GM, when's the earliest we can get this coaching staff gone?

Seriously Prescott as a rookie won 13 games he was rookie of the year played really well in the Green Bay playoff game was that his fault they lost the game or was that once again the defense couldn't stop Aaron Rodgers?

Then in 2020 this man gets broken because of a bad team around him and a lot of injuries especially on the offensive line he gets his ankles snapped off but did he hold out no he was playing under the franchise tag he wasn't one of those selfish players everyone keeps saying he is he showed up for training camp including this year he's been showing up he's the leaders on this team and then he gets paid and then immediately puts up a 37 touchdown in 10 interception year in 2021... In 2022 it only hurts his calf then he breaks his hand and we have Cooper rush enter and not play well at all but everyone here says he's playing well but he did not go look at the stats the man had five touchdowns in five games he had three interceptions in five games he had a 50 set completion percentage in five days the man had a great team playing around him making sure he didn't lose.. When can we get that back? I mean can we get that back soon like a strong running game and a good defense 'cause we haven't had one of those in like 3 years a defense that played well in big games against better teams..

But guess what it's obvious who the better quarterback was because if you were really watching and you weren't a hater our team went from the bottom 10 in offense right back into the top five literally was putting up over 30 points a game when Prescott reentered in 2022 but all people can remember is some of the interceptions which by the way are very similar to this year I mean half of them were not his fault they were hitting people in the hands guys are running the wrong routes I mean if you keep blaming the quarterback we need to know how soon you all can get up outta here we don't want you as a fan base and yeah like the guy started that ridiculous post about us saying go find another team I'm saying it think the quarterback is the problem here you need to go find another team..

And this man instead of getting a new contract early to save the team money which is the MO for this GM he waits to the last minute to sign lamb and then sign Dak,. If he had signed them earlier he could have went out and got a better running back and some other players to at least make this team better isn't that what the three month narrative I had to sit and listen to the Whiting and crying by a bunch of the same of you in here and now with all the injuries added to the fact that we have lack of talent you're blaming the quarterback we're back to blaming the quarterback did you watch that game the man turn the ball over which is why what we were saying why we were losing games right no fumbles no interceptions he got beat up they said he needed to run more so he comes out and he runs more and we still have all these posts blaming the quarterback when it's obviously we're losing in the trenches we're losing on defense we're losing cause of our coaching staff and you think quarterback issue you're trying to g....e team around him is full of nonsense..

But that's odd that lamb had to hold out but our man showed up Prescott showed up and he was in practice he was in training camp he literally was like risking himself and his contract and yet that's all you guys can do is come in here and hate on the man this is not a Prescott issue right now it's a fan base issue because they're blind to the facts you have to have a better team in order to produce better especially on offense you can't be one-dimensional you have to have a defense that keeps scores low you can't have defenses having guys wide open for touchdowns that's right 21 easy points wouldn't it be nice if Prescott had guys running free and wide open all game like literally all game especially in the big moments on 3rd down and in goal to go teams have wide open guys against this defense...


Here we are trying to figure out when to get rid of Prescott when 70% of the world the media and the fan base said Jerry was stupid for not signing him early and now you want to get rid of him you guys are blind casual fans who are not really seeing the reality you talked about it all season all we have is Prescott with two rookies on the offensive line now Martin just fell off a Cliff he's playing like crap I mean total crap hey Cortana give a pass to Terence Steele and we're trying to bring guyton along instead of blaming the coaches for not doing what they did today guyton went out injured they should've shuffled the offensive line they needed to be playing with Tyler Smith at left tackle Bassett left guard Cooper at center and yes Martin would have had to stay and then you move Guyton right tackle why don't we do that why don't we try to make this better and then the fact that they have games where they took Rico out and tried to run zeke tried to run Vaughn and the whole time they should have made Rico Kareem hunt you just hand him the ball 20 * a game and see what you can do we had the guy on the team that shou.... our number one guy and all year long to play well.


go ahead that makes you feel better keep focusing on blaming the quarterback for all our issues.... somehow jerry brainwashed you guys since the start of the season the entire narrative shifted to blame DAK!!!!,

 

[Typhus]

Disagree. Nothing is as idiotic as trading for Trance.

I remember awhile back when the player was evaluated by his talent, and nowadays it's the player and his contract.

 

[Chasing6]

There are probably 10 to 12 teams Dak would agree to go to. Love to go to. But no team is going to give up anything to take on his $60 million AAV contract. If Jerry wants “him gone” he could give Dak and his contract away. If he wants something in return Dak will remain a Cowboys player. The clause doesn’t mean Dak won’t play elsewhere, but it isn’t “meaningless”.

Do you understand how contracts work. The Cowboys will have to eat the $80M signing bonus.

His cap hit in a trade would average less than $47M a year.

2025 $47,750,000
2026 $40M
2027 $45M
2028 $55M

Extremely trade-able and their would be a lot of teams interested.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

On the bright side, if he gets benched, he'll be the one asking for a trade.

There it is. The way out. It's happened to others.

 

[TequilaCowboy]

If we had not signed him A team would had signed him to that contract if he had hit free agency,Guaranteed!

Who cares? Let them ruin their cap. The point is not here.

Another I wet my dak jammies thread

 

[Chasing6]

Everyone on this team should be asking for a trade.

 

[atlantacowboy]

If we had not signed him A team would had signed him to that contract if he had hit free agency,Guaranteed!

Probably true. But there are only so many dumb teams out there and Cleveland already made their mistake.

 

[conner01]

But Dak is not elite.

His contract is.

 

[KingCorcoran]

There are absolutely teams that would take on that contract and I'm really tired of reading so many comments acting like Dak is untradable. The history of the league shows how desperate franchises are for QBs, there are QBs MUCH worse than Dak that teams have traded for or strapped themselves to big contracts.

About the only advantage Dak would have here is that he'd have a little more say in which of those teams bidding to trade for him he'd rather go to.

What team is more desperate for a quarterback than the Dallas Cowboys? Dak’s “advantage” is he’s the best option the Cowboys have at quarterback. If there is a quarterback coming out of college that has a higher upside than Dak Prescott the team with the draft capital to acquire the guy will draft him. They’re not going to trade it to the Cowboys so the Cowboys can draft the guy.

You’re assuming there is a NFL team with a front office that is more inept than Dallas’. There isn’t.
