Did anyone see Jimmy Johnsons take on the dak contract? " would not have signed him and made him play out the last year of contract. " Jerry did not have to sign him let alone make him the highest paid player in the history of the NFL. Yoda has defiantly lost his mind and cost this franchise more miserable years with dak.
B-O-O H-O-O. Jimmy Johnson is a pointless pile of goo.

You draft a quarterback in the first round and you bench Dak.


It's pretty simple. I know the Jonses don't want to do that because it would imply they made a mistake, but knowing Dak, he's too proud to sit on the bench. He will eventually succumb to the fact that his career in Dallas is over. The NFL is a cold hearted business but the fact is Dak is one of the reasons this organization is in shambles.

1. Hire a head coach with a backbone

2. Empower that head coach

3. Draft a quarterback in the first round and move on.
What will be the point of attaining leverage if you're going to give it up on a moments whim? This is why people hate the little brow Dallas fan base.

Disagree on that part.
Dak already got paid the huge signing bonus. If traded, there's no actually salary penalties towards Dallas. They eat dead cap.
The team that trades for him is stuck with the guaranteed salary, but not the signing bonus cap hits.

If Dallas wanted him gone, Dak waived the NTC, they could trade him after June 1st. There will be dead caps on the 2025 cap and 2026.
However, ownership isn't paying any more than what has been paid.

His cap hit for 2025 as of now is 89.89mil. If June first traded it drops to 42.16mil, or a net savings of 47.75mil for 2025 which could be rolled int 2026.
His cap in 2026 if stays on is 67.69mil. If traded in June of 2025 his dead cap hit for 2026 is 61.1mil, or still saving ~6mil even with all that dead cap.

It's feasible this offseason from a financial point of view if they have a buyer after June 1st and Dak waives.

The team acquiring him would need 47.75mil of cap space to obtain him. They could free up more cap space by renegotiating his deal, and dropping his salary into a signing bonus. If wanted so.

The team would have the roll the dice like Denver hoping a rookie QB could start and be a bus driver to survive the 2025 and 2026 dead caps to a QB that's no longer here.
Or pay Lance a cheap deal
The bonus is spread over the contract. He got his money but the cap hit is spread out

Not a bad idea but what team would trade for a broken down QB that is in rapid decline. The only way to unload him is pay another team to take over that contract if Dak is willing to leave.

If the raiders can’t get their guy, they would gladly love to have someone in the meantime like Dak

we messed up. we should have fired MM after GB.

new coach comes in. Dak plays one year under him.

this year new coach drafts HIS QB. these pansies are too scared to hit the reset.

Even if he waived his no-trade clause, nobody is taking his contract on. He's not tradable.
