Jerry caved in when he should of stayed strong. Darnold- Geno-rookies-and I'd say even Goff have been paid less and gone to other teams and made them competitive. That's all Dallas needed to do. Guys are arguing should Dak had taken less? Give him less for what? The same results???? What Jerry should of done was to just say no Then throw this season a way as he did any how. Then gone out to get Darnold or another free agent for 2025 and used the balance to build the defense to a top defensive level. Wasn't astrophysics here. Or Jerry could have just signed Dak a year earlier and got him for 40 or lower. But he didn't. Maybe Jerry is just the gift that keeps on giving. Players know in the end he will cave.
So nothing we can do now but move forward. My plan would be draft at 1 DE. 2. DT. 3. RB. 4. safety. 5. O-Lineman 6. Tight end. 7th best player left. McCarthy gone. I'd hire a great defensive HC and get him a great OC. It's not that hard if you just stick to a plan. Jerry is lying to all the Dallas Cowboy fanbase. Even with Dak's contract. Dallas will be near 70 million or better in cap money next season. Go out there and check for yourselves instead of listening to the two liars. I don't even believe Jerry wants to win anymore. For whatever reason. But Dallas can easily be back in the playoffs next season if they get a solid plan. Problem is moving forward. No one in this organization knows what a plan is. We get healthy we have the talent to win the East. But you have to have somebody with a plan.
P.S. might have some extra comp picks, so I'd use those for wideouts-Oline men or another defensive spot. Not to mention what could be done in free agency. So, I'm not sweating if we can get back to the top. We only need someone with a vision....
It was a horrible decision made by two people given the jobs they’re not qualified for.
And the Joneses should be getting roasted every day for it. They deserve it.
Given the where, when, and why, the deal made absolutely zero sense.
It looked bad at the time, looked worse when Dak wasn’t playing up to it, and looks ridiculous after he was injured.
Ownership should be roasted over this deal. One of if not the worst in team history.
