Dak's No Trade Clause

[USArmyVet]

They don’t seem to be rueing it. They want to extend him lol.

Well seeing as how Dak has a $49M cap hit for 2023 with a no-trade clause and $89M in dead money you make it seem like Dallas has any choice in the matter.....but go ahead and paint it as if Dallas is joyful in restructuring Dak and being stuck with him for even more years.

I didn’t paint anything…..quit putting words in my mouth. He said they rue the deal and I said they’re extending him which goes against that. They don’t have to extend Dak to clear space they can easily let dead weight go. I’m not one of these naive posters I know what it is nice try though.

Things are a lot worse on most of the other teams.

Ah yes, the mythical "consistent QB who isn't elite."

Name names. Who do you have in mind?

I especially loved your earlier gameplan for moving on from Dak: "DRAFT THE NEXT PATRICK MAHOMES!"

BRILLIANT! Why didn't we think of that before!?!??

Dallas has only drafted one QB before the 4th round in over 30 years. That’s really worked out well.

Yeah, too bad we didn't take Paxton Lynch and Johnny Manziel when we had the chance! Jerry LOVED those guys!

Of course Jerry did, he's a moron

i was thinking about this today. What iF Dak took a pay cut ALA brady and others to field a better team around him say 4 years 25 mil per season at 100m GUARANTEED at 25m a season fully guaranteed he's set for next 4 years IF he wins superbowl in 4 years with good team around him he can negotiate again at 34 years old break the bank and if he does not he's made 200m+ over course of this Career Not to mention the other millions he's made off endorsements. put in a Trade Clause where Dak can Opt out if team does not spend the cap to fill a team around him.

Stopped reading at paycut.

It's pretty inevitable that Jerry is going to extend Dak. Between his 2023 cap hit being untenable and being able to cite two playoff births and one win (I know it's not good enough for us but it is for Jerry) since signing the deal, it's going to happen. I don't know much about the contract process but I'm curious if they can nix that no trade clause when they do an extension/restructure, or does it stay in automatically?

I guess it's pretty counterintuitive to think that Jerry would trade Dak when he will almost certainly extend him, but it would be nice if the FO at least had the option, especially if they can somehow luck into a good QB in the draft since it sounds like QB will finally become a priority in the draft again. I do think that the second Jerry has any sort of a health scare that we may see the urgency to win ramp up considerably and he may actually consider trying to upgrade at the QB position, especially if we have another one and done playoff year. Or maybe just wishful thinking on my part.

Your questions shall be answered when in the 3 round of the draft Jerald does or doesn't pick a QB.

I have not read through 10 pages so maybe somebody else answered this, but why would Dak agree to this?

Dak has a contract in hand signed by the team. If the team wants to alter that contract in any way, shape, or form, they have to go to Dak and his agent and they have to agree to change the contract. Dak is good as is, the Cowboys are the ones that are going to Dak, not the other way around.

So why would Dak agree to remove the no trade clause? You think he wants to wake up one morning and find out he just got traded to the Texans? A no trade clause is valuable to a player, so you are going to have to offer something of value in exchange to get the player to agree to remove it.

So, what are you offering Dak that he does not have in his current contract that is valuable enough for him to agree to remove the no trade clause? How many more millions per year are you offering over what his current contract calls for? Remember, Dak is good as is with his contract, its the team that is wanting to make changes and that dont happen unless the team offers up something of value to make it worth it to the player to change an existing contract.

Cut Dak, sign Jimmy g and backload his deal. Team has no balls though so expect an extension.

Its obvious you are not aware of the specifics of Dak's contract......................if he was released tomorrow, its $89 million in dead cap hit.

If he is released next year in 2024, its still over $40 million in dead cap hit. Talk of releasing Dak is just total nonsense until we are in 2025 at a minimum.

The math is what the math is, I know that is not what the anti-Dak crowd wants to hear, but its time to face reality and stop with these fantasy cut Dak posts.

It sucks but we're stuck..however the smart thing to do would be to eat the cap hits this season and next season and cut him as soon as financially viable after finding his replacement.

 

[Captain-Crash]

this is just like if Jason Garrett had a no-cut clause in his contract. sucks bad, looks like dak garrett is here for a while. smh

 

[Bullflop]

I'm expecting an experienced WR and possibly a highly promising WR to be drafted by the Cowboys this year to afford Dak support in his passing. They should also see to it that the OL is fortified with a strong candidate to excel with a highly capable left OG prospect being taken early-on in the draft. It wouldn't be surprising to see a TE acquired, as well, at some point to fortify the offense if Schwartz isn't retained.

While correct Dak would have $39.9M in dead money if traded after the 2023 season, which amounts to a $12.2M in cap savings for 2024....but there of course is having to have a replacement in place via the draft.

Extend him for another 7 years I mean how can we miss those unique plays of this top-notch caliber QB that we have.....

 

[Jarntt]

Jerry will of course do so, but you do not restructure or extend Dak unless you want to guarantee him being here long term. You need to eat away at that cap hit and make a decision in a year or two if he is the long term answer or not. This is not to say he definitely is or isn’t, just that it isn’t 100% clear right now.

First thing is restructure or extend Martin. $12M restructure split over the same 4 years he already has a cap hit in will clear $9M. Then you can designate Zeke a post 6/1 cut. This clears $10.9M. Then you do the same with Tyron if you need the extra cap space. This clears $13.6M. this team can have plenty of cap space to operate even without touching Dak’s contract. There are other contracts that can be looked at also and any new signings will be backloaded (expect Pollard if tagged). Do this and you can operate without much issue next year and if you decide to still keep Dak you still have the ability to sign him but also are in a healthier cap position.

 

[gjkoeppen]

Jerry is the only GM who would give a 1st,2nd, and later pick for Dak.. That's just crazy talk.

Why don't you go to the team site of the team you're really a fan of because you're sure not a Cowboys fan.

Stephen Jones recent quote.

“"Dak is going to be our guy for, hopefully the next 10 years," Jones said. "You say that's a long time because he's already played seven. But I think Dak will play that long because he takes care of himself, and he's driven to be great. We fully expect him to be here for 10 years."

Drafting his replacement. Telling Dak that draft choice will play and be the starter, thus forcing Dak's hand at the no trade clause.
Bout the only way to force the issue.

Apparently our dysfunctional ownership doesn’t view us as stuck. They appear intent on retaining Prescott for another 10 years.
