The Cowboys have no leverage. Please tell me what 4 year QBs that are 26 years young, who do not have a losing record, that have 2 playoff appearances and 1 playoff win in 4 years, threw for 2nd most yards, finished Top 10 passer rating, finished Top 5 total QB rating, and is universally recognized in the NFL as a team leader is available in free agency or the draft?
If the Cowboys franchise him they would have to pay top 5 salary average, he will skip all off season workouts with a new coaching staff, and you will continue something that did not work by treating the leader of the team like he is not valuable to the team. How did that work out last year? How will that help the Dallas Cowboys?
If they put a non exclusive tag, Dak will go to a Super Bowl contender with a defense (see NE), Dallas will get 2 no.1 picks and draft another Taco, injured LB, or trade it for a WR that may not be on the team (see Amari, Roy Williams, Joey Galloway, etc.). Do you know who is the GM of the Dallas Cowboy when you talk about draft picks and trades? UGGGHHHH!!!!
