CFZ Defending the Dak contact, and where do we go from here

[RS12]

Why is that?

McCarthy may walk the plank but Payton isnt going to work for Jerry. First of all Payton is likely to receive a mega offer from Denver north of 20 million a year. Second of all Payton is said to have eyes on the Chargers job and there is a good chance that comes open. Payton is currently living in a So Cal beach city very near the Charger facility. He could probably do wonders with Justin Herbert. Third and most importantly Payton like every other coach in the league knows it is virtually impossible to win here. The rotten Jones culture prevents it. He may like Jerry personally but that doesnt mean he wants to work for him.

Can't be done. The Cowboys waited 2 years to sign him and it cost them MILLIONS of dollars per year. At least $10M per year.

You can get a good FA or extend someone with that money. You made your team weaker by waiting Mr. Jones!!!

True. He should have signed him in 2020.

Everything is negotiable. It is not a given Payton would cost us a first round pick. MM didn't develop Rodgers. Holmgren did. Rodgers does not credit MM with anything.

I would love to draft a QB this year. But Jerry doesn't like drafting QBs. Aikman is the only first round pick he's ever used on one. ... and we all know it wasn't really his call at the time.

Wasn't Holgrem. He was in Seattle. It was some other coach the year he was drafted.
