What possible motivation would Dak have to waive his NTC? He had it added to his contract for leverage. The only way he would probably waive the NTC is if Dallas gave him the green light to seek a trade to a team he was interested in going to. Right now he holds the upper hand. If we cut or trade him we are on the hook for $62 million dead cap this year. If we don't negotiate a new contract this year then he counts about $60 million on our cap. If we just give him his base salary as a bonus this year and add voided years then we are just creating another dead cap situation if we get rid of him later. Jerry and Stephen did a pitiful job with Dak's contract. They caved in every way possible. Dak got max dollars at the time, a no trade clause, a short contract of only 4 years which allows him to go after more money quicker, and they allowed him to add language where he can't receive the franchise or transition tag if he ever becomes a free agent. Jed Clampett and Jethro Bodine got it handed to them in that negotiation.
