If we let Dak play out the season before signing him to the big deal

[Coogiguy03]

What happens if he sustained this same injury, or has the bad season that we saw from week to week it seemed. Do we still pay him the same amount, or would we let him test the market and go from there??? You can think like Jerry or think like a SMART GM, please give your thoughts

 

[charron]

Jerry would still pay him. Jerry would point to cousins as a player coming off injury that still got paid.

 

[MapleLeaf]

At his age and an injury to the same wheel as the one that had him in the boot in June of 2024?

I would have started the rebuild. There is absolutely nothing in that scenario that says you should roll the dice for a premier franchise like the Cowboys.

Build your olines and dlines. Stock your young talent and go find your interim and eventually your new franchise QB.

No to a seriously injured Dak.

I have nothing against Dak, I think he's a good quarterback, I would have let him play out the season on his deal and then moved on to a younger quarterback and a Cowboy rebuild....I've watched him for nine years at the helm, he's just doesn't have the "it" factor to lead this team to a Superbowl...He needs everything around him to be very good to succeed in todays game, a great offensive line, great running game, great receivers, great defense, great special teams....I think it's a massive mistake extending him at his age and his contract is going to be an Albatross on this team in two years....

Then Dak isn't injured, the Cowboys lose the Super Bowl by one point, and Dak can negotiate with any other team. His demands are 90 million a year, everything guaranteed, no trades.

Great starting point, looking at Cousins!

Seen qb's do more with less

 

[RS12]

Nah. That would have been pro active and appropriate courses of action. That isnt in the current leadership's DNA. That is why you have all those championships over the last three decades.

I have a better shot of winning the lottery without playing than Dak had of getting to the superbowl. What exactly has ever given anyone any indication he can get past a bad wildcard team? He sucks in big games and hasn’t even sniffed the nfc championship, much less Super Bowl.

with the offseason we had there was no chance of this

 

[Whirlwin]

I wish Jerry would try to explain why he signed Prescott, the last second, it just didn’t make sense to most people

 

[baltcowboy]

Dak was always going to get his money. You guys need to stop following the board turds that think Dak should be flipping burgers at McDonald’s. Trust the NFL insiders who said Dak would make up to 65+ in the offseason. Know one disputed that claim except some board members.

I don’t know if he was always going to get his money. But thank you for responding.

 

[75boyz]

To answer the question of the OP is... that there would be an entirely different near future outlook on this team's ability to contend for trophies.
As things have actually played out, now there is zero chance of SBs with this same QB.
Zero.

Jerry doesn't feel that you are owed an explanation.

What else is new?

 

[ShiningStar]

Jerry would have giving him a gabillion dollars after the first win.

you guys know this.


JJ and Stephen have shoved down your throats, "We RE NOT DOING GOOD CONTRACTS"


Accept it and move on.

Its not about what you would do, it's about what dumb and dumber would do. Logic will get you nowhere.

 

[Mark]

Of course Dak should have been made to play out the season, and talk thereafter...once the body of work of the previous contract was complete. What the Cowboys did was absolute lunacy.
