Expect more of the same in 2025

I think this is the best route to go too. I'm thinking 2025 needs to be used as an actual rebuild year. Eat the major cap hit on Daks deal and itll free up quite a bit of money for 2026. That would give you two additional draft classes and a real chance at building through free agency to make a final run with Dak while Parsons, Smith, Lamb, Bland etc are still in their prime.
I agree with the both of you guys but the reality is Jerry ain't about to let Dak individually cost over 89 million towards the cap next season.
History says otherwise. You know the drill. He'll restructure it and do the standard Jerry/Stephen kick the can down the road of continued crippling overpaid contracts.
"IF" he just woulda let it play out last year and not extend him...

What a ******* mistake.
4 more years.
Minimum.

Still want to know why no one asks….”ok so you’ve built a team that isn’t good enough, and there’s no cap room left to get better. Doesn’t that mean you failed?”

But I suppose these folks want to keep their jobs.

See the interview from Shan & RJ


Pretend they are doing a good job or they get someone else to interview them

I think you're absolutely right and its the biggest problem at all. Jerry has no issue being mediocre as long as they are relevant. Restructuring a few deals gives them just enough ability to do to enough to be relevant. They wont have the cap flex to do anything that really moves the needle though.

The Vikings vs Falcons game at the weekend was like watching what could have been without Dak Prescott.

As in the Vikings moved on from a bum quarterback with impressive stat padding (Cousins) and brought in a quarterback for $10 million who is balling out. The Vikings and the $10 million dollar man smashed the face of a weathered and finished quarterback in Cousins.

Exactly man.
Its become just another status quo part of their idea of staying relevant.

And a one and done playoff team will remain the Dallas Cowboy team ceiling based on this same mis management continuing on.

We’re not making a run with Dak. We need to eat the contract now and get ready for the 2026 season and look to move on from him in the 2026 offseason.
