If Dak has a year like last year, this will be his final year with the team

[Whyjerry]

You won't find a bigger Dak fan anywhere then me. But even I can see the writing on he wall. He's not Jerrys choice. I've said this since his rookie yr. Jerry wouldn't even entertain the idea of having him starter over Romo even with him t taking the league by storm that first yr. AND it's not like Jerry doesn't throw a sunrise jab at da fk every chance he gets. I think that contract negotiation and his agent hoping the price every time they talk he was the last straw for Jerry.

If he has a yr anywhere like last yr, this will ge his final yr with the team IMO. He has 61 mil still guaranteed, and a 59mil cap hit next yr. So they can make him a June cut and save 28.5mil. Get 28.5 mil in june to sign guys like Ceedee and Diggs. Of course you have a huge hole but it is and eat it is.

Overthecap is projecting 256mil cap in 2024 and Dallas has 46 players under contract. Which means Dallas has the 51 cap number basically set. As of right now Dallas has 6.4mil in caproom another 6 in June. Dallas will need around 3mil to pay their rookies. So take 9mil in rollover for 2024. With OTC projections Dallas could walk into 2024 with a 265 mil adjected cap with 212mil already allocated. So they can have 43mil in cap space.

Now say Dak is just not getting it done, moving on from him wouldn't kill the team because they've drafted so good. The majority of the team is on rookie deals. This forum has hated this deal since it was signed because they saw 40mil AAV, but he's had 21Mil AAV since signing his deal and we're in yr 3 of 4. This shows you this team knows what they're doing with their contracts. Yeah 30mil is a big chunk, but it's alot better than 59mil. And that's 30mil for nothing just dead money if he's gone. But it doesn't kill you because you have 46 players already signed. And the core is already under contract.

Despite the beating you are taking this is a good question. I really believe this is a show me year for Dak. There is a chance if he has a bad year Dallas will move on. I don’t see an extension in the near term unless he comes out firing and puts a ton of pressure on Jerry. Then I think an extension will get done during the season and we will just wake up one day and hear about it.

He has $31M guaranteed money left on his contract. There won't be any guaranteed money after this season( 2023 ). Yes, 2024 shows a base salary of $29M but none of that is guaranteed. Remember the total G-money in the contract $126M. Spotrac clearly shows the final payment of $31M puts his total cash payout at $126M.

As for his extension and/or whether or not this is his last season. I think it will come down to what he wants and how much/far Jerry and Stephen are willing to go. I'm pretty sure he's going to ask for the top 5 money min, maybe closer to the top 3.

The blue is dead money, which is guaranteed money. Did you forget about the money the restructured this yr? That's where it goes to 61mil.

All this money has been paid, so nothing is owed to him, it's what's owed to the cap.

The smart thing would be to restructure and extend. Next yr dak has a 29mil base, take 25mil of that and turn it into a sb. That 25mil gets prorated into 5 yrs.

So 2024

4mil base salary +18.2mil total SB +12.2mil in restructured money.
34.4mil caphit. Saving Dallas 25mil in cap for 2024

Cmon jazz I know you’re a zeke homer and he was a stud but look at the numbers of the 2015 rbbc they also did very well

It was the line zeke was good Murray was good the line was great

The loss of Leary first then tfred and Tyron’s injuries changed things

Then moore trying to get cute

Bill Callahan was gone.. they lost the best OL coach in the league, because Jerry burned bridges for Garrett..

That being said, these are excuses for Dak. If Dak is under center, he’s as predictable as they come.

So which is it? Top you say it's been paid, below is still guaranteed.


He has 61 mil still guaranteed,

If the title is right then thank god

Stats are for losers. Winning is all that matters. 12-5, 12-4

Those stats specifically addressed the Peyton Manning comparison.

As for winning, Dak is 2-4 in the playoffs hasn't gotten beyond the divisional round in 7 his years. Celebrating regular season win totals (Dak only had 8 in 2022) is for losers.

All guaranteed money is paid at signing. Unless it's a roster bonus or incentives. That gets paid when said incentive is reached. Or he's on the team on a specific date.

QB's dont have records. Teams win games, not QB's.

You dont like winning 12 games and making the playoffs? Would you rather a losing record? LOL

Talk about loser?

If you're happy with watching other teams play championship games and Super Bowls for 27 years and counting you have low expectations. There's a word for that.

What do you like losing seasons and 8-8? LOL There is a word for that too.

Not Romo or Dak's fault Jerry sucks at his job. We wont play for championship until that changes if ever.

Feel free to go root for the Chiefs if you want. We wont miss you over here.

Another football savant that predicted the team would only win 9 games last year. LOL

Let me know when you come close.

 

[Jason 82 Witten]

No

 

[jnday]

….and replaced with whom?

Last we heard an extension would be like a mob hit, wouldn’t see it coming.

I’d expect that much more than a parting of the ways.

Amazes me how many fans want to dump Dak with no replacement in house and become a six win team for until you get lucky again.

It very much stands to reason that he can limit the picks, as he has done it earlier in his career. Moore being gone should help.

Wasn’t Moore here during the seasons when Dak threw fewer picks?

 

[Jake]

You finally said something that made sense. Congratulations.

 

[Captain-Crash]

just think what the team's record would be with a good quarterback. *throws out child-like emojis*

 

[PAPPYDOG]

What has Dak really accomplished in the 7 years of his reign???????
Beating the Dog NFC East the past years and choking in the playoffs and please someone tell me this is not a FACT?
P.S. Dak did not win 12 games last season correct Mr. Rush?

 

[Typhus]

LOL..........You are probably right. That being said your hyper criticism is unfounded.

Dak isnt my favorite active player. Not even close. I just understand the value and rarity of a top 10 QB in the NFL.

If there is one thing I dont forget its the Quincy Carter Chad Hutchinson, Testicleverde years.

If we move on from Dak, its more than likely exactly right back where we are going to be. I know the trolls think we can just draft an elite QB every year. Some of us understand going back to Quincy Bong Carter is more likely.

Well, you at least take another Dak in the 4th round stab about/by now, wouldn't you?

 

[Typhus]

BWAAAAAAA!!!! You obviously dont understand about team football. You think Hurts got them there all on his own? He was surrounded by one of the best teams in recent memory and he still lost.

He threw for 100 yards and beat the Niners in the playoffs. Didnt even have to break a sweat with that team around him.

You swap teams and QB's and Dak get the Eagles to the SB. Hurts would have trouble making the playoffs with the Cowboys team. With only Ceedee Lamb throw to and Zeke Elliott leading the running game. LOL

Uhhhh, NO.

Jerry bungles everything and I meant losing Callahan didn’t help things .
as far as excuses go they have been used pretty heavily here for the last 2 qbs

It’s a team game and I don’t fault either qb as being solely the blame between Garrett and KM both have had uphill battle

I don’t need another long biography from you defending your favorite player of all time but what I do say Prescott is flawed and this year should be it if the team fails but it won’t be

I quit expecting much from this team years ago. I got excited in 14,16 but after that I’ve come to grips as long as booger is in charge this what we’ll get

Guys like you have made this board miserable over the past few year hijacking’s threads making every thing about Prescott so I’ll laugh when Jerry reworks things
