Do you really want to pay a 30 year old middling QB 50 million?

We are already 11 million over next years cap with players like Lamb and Parsons getting expensive new contracts or tagged. We already have no choice but to lose guys like Tyrone Smith and Biadasz because we can't afford them. Gallup is gone, Kearse is gone. We have needs at RB, C, LT, LB, DE, DT and FS. Those are expensive holes to fill and we will inevitably have to go with our guys or a bargain FA. So do you think the team is better or worse than this current squad if Dak gets paid?

I get it some of those guys aren't a big loss but you still have to replace them and you can't be active in FA when you've paid your QB like he's top 5 when he's clearly not and you have no money to spend. Some projections have Dak setting the market and being the highest paid player in the NFL, that is insane to me for what he is, INSANE!

Does anyone here legit think Dak has the makeup of a championship QB regardless of who's coaching? Even if signing him means we have to bargain shop for role players? CAN Dak Prescott carry a less than stellar team to a super bowl win and if the answer is no then you have to move on and find the guy that can.

This is a precarious off season for Dallas, this where a true GM earns their pay and we don't even have a real GM.

This team's fate is solely pegged on what they do with Dak.
If they keep and extend expect the misery to continue and the franchise to split in half with America's team slowly sinking to the bottom of the NFC East.
GM time is correct but considering who our GM is well you get the idea here.............. :facepalm:

P.S. No coaching change will matter if #4 is the QB

The Cowboys have always had a problem with keeping players too long. They do draft well, but you can't pay everyone a second contract at a top five in the league rate of pay. Trading players is something they need to add to the repertoire. They need to have a better plan to achieve talent distribution across the roster. Jerry's Cowboys have typically had a hand full of guys eating up most of the cap with a dramatic fall off in talent around them.

Yes. There is no other reasonable option to field a playoff team next season.

Structure the extension so that we can get out after 2 years - Dak should accept that given his self critique after the game.

The Dak haters come out 6 times a year it seems. Let’s tell the truth for once guys, Dak is second team All-Pro and is not middle of the pack or below average. He played like a top 3 quarterback this season.

Who gave him that contract?

$58M cap hit + no trade clause + no option to Franchise Tag again = ZERO LEVERAGE for Dallas Cowboys.

Todd France took Stephen to the woodshed.

France took stephan to the woodshed; stole Jerry's Johnny Walker; pissed all over the Star; and made Rowdy his bi***

If Dak wants to continue on...wait until new coaches are brought in, and offer a very low ball offer for two years.
