The Cowboys, by now, have an idea of what they want to pay Dak Prescott. It’s obviously less than his agent believes he can get as a free agent. So, he’s as good as gone. And you believe that sans Dak Prescott the Cowboys will throw their arms in the air and unload two of their best players for draft picks and start from scratch? That’s the plan? Does McCarthy remain head coach in this plan? Does Diggs get traded, as well? For more draft picks? Do you think Dak is the lynch pin for the success of the Dallas Cowboys and without him the teams comes crashing down? By the time the next QB would be ready, according to you, Jerry Jones, if he’s still living will be at or near 90 years old. Do you think Jerry’s plan is to do what you believe the plan is? If Dak were that critical wouldn’t he have been offered a top of market deal by now?
yep any of them could be gone. One thing I know for sure is you dont pay a wr 30 million in a rebuild and if daks gone we are gonna be in a rebuild. I will leave this nugget tho if for some reason they think trey lance is the future then they might resign lamb.

You couldnt be more wrong if prescott goes so does lamb and possibly even parsons. They will use parsons and lamb to gain picks for a new qb and with the other picks they will surround the qb with young talent. By the time the QB we get is ready to compete lamb and parsons will be in there 30's.
Why would they need to trade those players to move up for a QB? Just start Lance in 2025, we'll probably be picking top 5. And if Lance surprises everyone (give or take 2-3 people) and he's actually good, well, he'll want to be paid too.

Lance isn’t ready yet, he needs another year. He’s barely played any football anywhere.

Here’s a “nugget”. A song as Jerry Jones knows he can blow smoke up idiots’s butts, he will.

Lets say we pick 4th even then we will need a ton of ammo to move up to the top 2 if theres a qb we really want and if we gotta move to the top spot it will take multiple 1s.

Exactly Bullflop, Lamb knows he is getting paid to stay for a while, why should he be in any rush.
Buy your CD Jerseys now folks,,, jk
I refuse to buy any Cowboy merch whatsoever, but CD is the most talented player on this entire offense, possibly roster, so pay the man with a smile on your face.
Better find a way to retain stud WR1s in this league especially with an unproven running game.
Talk about leverage, CD got all the leverage in the world to get whatever he wants but let's see what kind of team player he is with his term.
I could care less about the money, I want to see how term friendly his contract is and that will say a lot about his character and commitment.
Can you give me some context around how Cee Dees character and commitment will be evident to you based on the contract he signs?

Every year is different. You can only trade up with a team that doesn't need a QB. The cost varies from year to year. You have to do it eventually. We're not winning anything with our QB at a 20% cap hit. It just isn't possible. So what's the point? To look pretty in the regular season?

Players who insist on top of the market contracts aren't concerned w/ winning. They are ME players. Lamb has already stated he wants to be paid top 3. Overpaying players keeps you from the dance.

Welp they’re screwed JJ just got a boatload of money…
that's not screwed there are people including lambs agents and lamb himself that think he's as good or better than Justin Jefferson so this is what he's been waiting for so in a way this is now the market now the Dallas Cowboys have to negotiate this is the price or it has to be damn close so no it's not screwed this is what lamb has been waiting for you guys think this is all about the Jones family and the front office dragging their feet without realizing that lamb and his agents have been waiting for this they're the ones not in contract negotiations because they wanted to see what jamar chase and Justin Jefferson were getting because they are both in the same exact class they don't care what some of these other guys got paid they were looking for this contract you can't make a guy sign for less in a hurry because you're worried at the market it's going to be too much when there's an agent and a player who's going to not allow that.. I think people are clueless when I talk about fans believe that that the front office and ownership of these teams have full control of the prices and when contracts get sign they got to agree to it there's called negotiations and I guarantee lamb wasn't going to sign for what Smith or Saint brown, or aj signed for they were not going to sign that no matter what..

but yes 4 140 110 guaranteed it's a lot but it was expected did you think that these other receivers who got this money were in the same class or at least the player and agents believe they were in the same class? Jamar chase Justin Jefferson and CD lamb think they're the best receivers in the NFL they all think they need to be the number one paid guy so they all been waiting so this will be the contract most of them were waiting for now the rest of the league including Jerry Jones Steven Jones and lambs agents now know where the price is so now something's gonna get done or they're gonna trade the guy...

So this is a good thing Justin Jefferson finally set the market that CD lamb and his agents feel like they're in and now negotiations can begin that's where I sit if you think that's too much for a wide receiver then why are we having this discussion I mean discussion should be should the Dallas Cowboys trade CD lamb the way other teams have traded Ty hill ,A.J. Brown, DeAndre Hopkins , amari,&Adams you do realize that other teams have had to make that decision and they did not sign their guy..

we're talking about ohh the Cowboys are taking their time it's going to cost them too much money,

no, the agent and the player we're waiting for the market to be truly set,

none of these other receivers in their minds of the agents and the players of CD lamb ,Justin Jefferson, and jamar chase they don't feel like those guys were the market, it's those three guys that have been waiting to play volleyball now with who gets the most.

Wonder if this mirrors 2015 when Dez and Thomas were in a blinking match with their teams.
Thomas signs and then either the same day or next day Dez signs too, with a very slight increase in guarantees IIRC.

Of course back then Megatron was the clear #1, already signed, but JJ and CDL are combating with Hill for the #1 WR in the league. Hill, who is now "underpaid" lol

Do you feel Jerry Jones is concerned with winning? Is Jerry Jones a ME owner? Do you have questions about Jerry's character and commitment?

it won't be the next day but it'll definitely get done sooner than later now because now they have the blueprint you know the basics of the contract they gotta hash out the details like length of the contract guarantees all the clauses I mean these negotiations take time but yes this will speed up the process this is what CD lamb and his agents have been waiting for blame the Jones family all you want for having to pay allegedly more I guarantee this was being held up by all parties involved because they were waiting on Justin jefferson's contract to drop... And I heard rumors now that tyree kill not happy about that 19,000,000 final year of his contract he's looking for more he'd be the type of guy that threatens to hold out unless they up his money redo his contract now because of all this Justin jefferson's contract is gonna cause problems around the league for all wide receivers due for contracts or feel like they're on their last year and want a new one..

Exactly we need a qb on a rookie contract and use the cap to build around him.

Really you mean the 95 quarterbacks who are taken since 2016 and only one of them got to a Super Bowl and won it I mean I don't know what you think we should just put any quarterback back there so we could afford a better team around him like that's some guarantee have you looked around the league it's kind of tough to find a quarterback like Prescott it could take three years five years a decade to find another guy like him you may not think so and I don't care if you agree with me or not that's ridiculous not any quarterback by any name or any talent can win you something just because you need the money to build the rest of the team but if you don't have a quarterback you're probably not going very far... Patrick mahomes the only elite quarterback right now in the league he's the only quarterback recently that both won on a rookie deal not have sense and also won since he got paid so somehow the can't see chiefs are doing I mean other people paid I don't know Matthew Stafford I do this about ready to retire to come over he did nothing his first 12 years with the lions and they brought him over and paid him big time money they gave up draft picks for him we didn't give up draft picks for Prescott they won a Super Bowl by hiring a guy like Prescott.. It didn't set them back much I mean they're back moving forward again they did try to move Matthew Stafford but he didn't want to leave and he hasn't no trade clause so he said no he wouldn't take a pay cut they're stuck with him but they managed..

So can we quit saying that as if we could just go out and dial 1800 and find the next Prescott that's good enough even with a better team which by the way this team is by far even if they pay Parsons and lamb and they have some young players they do not even have the offensive line or the run game or the defense not yet to be the 2000 Ravens or team that is absolutely dominant on defense to hold the team under 13 points a game and have a run game that's dominant that can carry a quarterback that's not like Prescott we don't have that team are you you think we're gonna build that team overnight while trying to find a quarterback good enough to fit that type of team that is not how it's being done at most of the league...

Did the Eagles win a Super Bowl with jalen hurts on his rookie deal did they care they paid him and they're paying everybody else too why is this concept only now being perceived to be a Cowboys issue there aren't a lot of teams winning Super Bowls it was Tom Brady and the patriots and then it was recently the Kansas City Chiefs a couple of dynasties there are no teams just popping up and building their team like you said and just instantly winning a Super Bowl...

I mean look how many times the 49ers have changed quarterbacks and now they have another rookie quarterback but they didn't win any Super Bowl since 1994 bro all these changes at quarterback all that talent on that team and they may be getting there more often than us they've been closer than us yeah they've been a better team but they're now dangerously close to having to pay Brock Purdy... Didn't Tom Brady get a contract a pretty big one from Tampa Bay to come over there and be there hired hitman that's right they had a quarterback not on a rookie deal and they won a Super Bowl.. Now they're paying a dude who no one thought could be a good starter in this league because they hope that he's the next guy but he they're not on a rookie deal..

Trust me you're not going to read all this because you're going to say it's too long even though everything I said is 100% true this alleged blueprint has been blown up now yes it would be nice to have a rookie so good on his rookie deal and the team so good around him that you can win a Super Bowl that is no longer the case all these quarterbacks now have been paid they have been drafted since 2016 and the top ten are all making more$42 million a year teams are not cutting their quarterbacks and building better teams and keep replacing their quarterbacks they find the quarterback 1st and then they hope it works out...
