Well, I'd guess it's because the Cowboys are trying to sign Dak. See, that's the part I don't get about all of this. Just because a person doesn't agree with the money or what have you, doesn't mean you don't want to get a deal done. It's like going out and buying a car, to me. I can take my Wife or my Kids to a lot and they can see a vehicle that they like. But before we ever step onto that lot, I tell them all that you have to be willing to walk away from any deal if it's not a good one. I explained to them early on that if you get into a bad deal, you end up working for your vehicle instead of enjoying it, which is what you envision when you see yourself driving that car, before you buy it. You want this car, you see yourself in it but it's gotta be the right deal or it turns into an anchor. This, IMO, is the same kind of situation we are watching with Dak. I mean, I get it, but I think you are absolutely right. I see no path to improvement if we overspend on Dak. Let me go a step further here and say that when we start seeing the talent that is going to get cut from other teams and those players start taking jobs with other teams for far less then we would ever expect, we are going to kick ourselves even harder over a decision such as that.
I think Jerry wants Dak, he just understands that it's a bad financial deal with regards to the cap.
