I wouldn’t have paid Dak, if I was GM. Since I’m not I had no say in the matter. I think it was most likely a mistake and I think over time that perspective will more than likely be proven right.
I become more sour on Dak over time. It’s also the Cowboys’ fault for agreeing to pay him that much money with a no trade clause etc, no tag clause etc. I don’t think Dak is that good myself. He wilts under pressure.
I would love to see him light it up and a win a SB I just don’t see that ever happening.
After this contract debacle I would draft a QB high, let him compete with Dak and then let Dak demand a trade. Thats about the only way I see this contract situation playing out well.
