I hope Dak signs with another team

Drew Brees as well.

He was mentioned.

Just curious why this thread hasn't been moved to the "Overtime Zone".

My bad

I've tried to keep an objective opinion about this matter, but the more time that passes, the more he says, the more his fans say, and the more I recollect on Dak's play, I have come to the conclusion that he should be somewhere else in 2020.
It all comes down to results, and for Dak to be demanding big money, despite missing the playoffs in 2019 and not producing when the games mattered, it shows a lack of maturity and a mindset that I believe will be detrimental to the team.
Only in Dallas would a quarterback who loses half his games be coddled to the extent that he thinks he should be one of the highest paid players in the NFL.
I hope the Cowboys offer him the non-exclusive tag and another team offers him more, and he gets to see what playing for another team is like.

So you think Dak is worth two 1st round draft picks? Because that is what it will coast another team to sign Dak if Jerry used the non-exclusive franchise tag on him. They don't just outbid Jerry, they have to give up two 1st round picks. I don't see that happening and furthermore, I don't think you do either.

I hope Dak signs elsewhere as well. So when Jerry drafts the next paxton lynch we can watch Dak ball out and I'll still be cheering for him.

No, but I have to wish for the best case scenario for the Cowboys.
And there are some pretty inept GM's in the NFL these days.

Oh I agree with you that getting rid of Dak for a cast off would not be wise.

I did think it was an interesting question to dive into? Trying to remember if any QB’s fit that criteria.

Drew Brees is another one. But his was injury related as well, as teams didn’t know if he would ever be 100% again after surgery on his throwing shoulder.

Yeah it was his shoulder. I remember that offseason teams were looking at both Brees and Culpepper. Culpepper was pretty prolific in Minnesota, had a 4700+ yard season in 04. Of course it helps to have Randy Moss, and I think Chris Carter was playing back then as well. Both QBs were considered risks. One thing about Brees though, even prior to the injury the FO wasn't convinced, and they had already drafted Rivers. Brees was going to be cast off regardless. He was set to meet the definition of cast off, just happened to get injured first. His first 3 years in the league didn't accurately forecast the QB he would become. The Chargers having #1 felt it prudent to take a franchise QB. The following season was Brees best as a pro, unfortunately the Chargers were already committed to Rivers for 40 million, back in the day when there weren't hard caps on rookies.

As Cowboy fans, we all want what is best for the team. We just have different definitions of what that is. Getting two 1st round picks for Dak would be a good deal for the Cowboys. I'm a huge Dak fan but even I know this. However, I also know the likelihood of that happening is not very good. Besides, I think Jerry is content to just pay the price to use the exclusive franchise tag and trust in his negotiation skills to get a deal done by the July deadline.

He couldve gave a bs answer like he always does. (Its a business and the front office chose to go in a different direction). The only way id respect him again is if he lobbys for Dez. Dak lookin real suspect to me lately.

Seems to me he gave a pretty stock answer. I'm sure the advice it to always take the high road.

 

[OldJarhead]

If that happens Dak will be added to the list of Cowboy players that got a superbowl somewhere else.

as a back up QB.
