Is Jerry sending a smoke screen?

[MountaineerCowboy]

No, I didn’t, Mr. Troll. But my credibility is fine with those that matter. Maybe your team will have success this year. Eagles? Giants? Skins? Steelers?

Yeah.

The other Dak over Dallas fans is who your credibility is fine with.

Cowboys fans know who have treated them with disrespect in the name of Dak.

You never, ever...touch issue:

What sustainability means is that you do not have to replace your workforce every few seasons because. It’s impossible to train a new cast without the necessary growth time baked in. It is essential to allow a year to acclimate, learn from your predecessor, and then replace him as he runs out of contract and you move in to his place.

The functional element is this: when his contract runs out when your are on top of the food chain and that person is still producing.

 

[acr731]

I mean what has Dak done to warrant another massive extension?

Gee, let me think about this......

Ok, I'm done.

 

[ESisback]

Yeah.

Cowboys fans know who have treated them with disrespect in the name of Dak.

And you ain’t a Cowboy fan.

Technically, 48/61 comes in at 79%, but either way, that still leads the league.

Don't forget the $36M in dead money the following year also (regardless of whether he is cut or plays out the deal). If people are worried about Dak's dead money they shouldn't blame Dak, they should blame Jerry and Stephen for the restructures that created all this dead money. IMO Dak will earn his contract this year or he won't get an extension and then the same thing will happen the next year with a new deal. We will deal with the dead money one way or the other. Micah and CeeDee's contract won't be an issue because the 2024 cap hits will be small in their extensions. But Jerry isn't likely to cut Dak and let's see how this year goes before we cry about how we should ad nauseum and let's at least pretend to actually root for this team.

Serious question 36 m in dead money. Whether this number is accurate or not, lets put this in layman terms.
Dak is owed a remaining $ amount on his current contract. The number is large because of the restructures kicked the can down the road.
BUT (please don't say he cant be traded, bc he can if agreed upon)

If Dak is owed whatever remaining $$ at the end of the season,
Can Dallas trade Dak (for a draft pick or player and $$ owed, or a portion of the $$ owed, in debt) as part of the trade agreement to the team agreeing to trade?

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

And you ain’t a Cowboy fan.

All you Dak over Dallas fans have the same playbook lolololololol

Rules 1: “If you don’t think Dak is great you’re not a Cowboys fan”.

It’s a shame that some of you chose Dak over your credibility.

You hedge your bets on a loser and lost.

Anything can be worked out if they want it to be.

It wasn’t always like this because if you looked at 2006-2010, you would find the Cowboys were one of the worst teams for growing their own players and were dependent on other team’s free agents and castaways. But the way Dallas has built this roster – especially now under Mike McCarthy’s tenure – would be consistent with a team that has won more regular season games in the last two seasons (24) as anyone but Kansas City in the entire sport.

This year, they have ramped up the urgency and started trading draft picks for current assets. This market inefficiency was barely present with the Cowboys for ages, but now, they have been flipping Day 3 draft picks (rounds 4 through 7) and turning them into two starters at key positions (Cooks and Gilmore) and one QB lottery ticket (Lance).

We also know that virtually no team can boast first-round draft pick success like the Cowboys who on this present roster alone can show you with Tyron Smith, Zack Martin, CeeDee Lamb, and Micah Parsons. Very few teams have hit that many All-Pro home runs. Then, they found their QB1 on Day 3.

If the money is lost by Dak being traded and the bill comes due...the team isn't badly hurt if the replacement is cheap from his start.

Normal fans wish success for whomever is the QB1, that is all. You don’t understand this because you’re not a normal fan.

 

[TheSport78]

Don't invest more in Rayne Dakota. He's a candle that's burning on both ends.

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

Cowboys fans want players that hold the team back gone off the team.

You don’t understand this because you’re just a Dak over Dallas fan.

 

[Yoshimitsu]

Do you see this?



Unless Dak performs 5 stars this coming season and we make at least the NFCCG Dak is following Zeke as a pre-June 1st 2024 cut.
I mean what has Dak done to warrant another massive extension?
Folks come back to planet Earth, please!!!!

This is just dumb. Why take all the dead money when you have to sign Ceedee and Micah? They are better off just letting him walk in two years. If Dak isn't in the long term plans don't commit.

With NFL contracts the dead money related to signing bonuses and other bonuses that were spread out for cap purposes but have yet to hit the cap can't go to another team in a trade. It stays on the Cowboys books. Base salaries whether guaranteed or not can go to the new team. So in Dak's case the only thing Dallas could pass to another team if traded next year is the $29M 2024 base salary and the $5M roster bonus due to be paid next year. The $63M that has yet to hit the cap as part of his SB or restructure bonus is all us.

Some players when traded are still due guaranteed base salaries in current or future years. Those would move to the new team in a trade or could be restructured into a bonus payable by the existing team to facilitate a trade..

But it sure sounds like he won't be (cheap from his start I mean)? By the time this all becomes reality (if it does at all), Lance will be a UFA, and if he's showing enough promise to replace #4, I don't think he & his agent will sign a cheap deal.

(This from someone who really doesn't have a preference at all, but especially not between Prescott & Lance...)

 

[TheMightyVanHalen]

Jerry not consulting with Dak over Lance

Jerry knows his players more than you do. Jerry knows that Dak Prescott isn't a LaQueen James type of player. Jerry doesn't need to ask Dak's permission to send a 4th round pick for a back-up 3rd string QB.

Just stating the additional options. I think both will remain value into the near future and I was just expanding trade potential with price. You are correct in your post.

 

[Chuck 54]

All the conspiracy theories are so ridiculous.
When it comes to NFL football, Jerry has proven over decades that he is NOT smart enough to play mind games with anyone. The front office simply dropped a 28 year old non-developmental 3rd string QB for a 23 year old developmental 3rd string QB on his rookie contract for 2 more years plus a 3rd year option for the cost of a fourth round draft pick, meaning he now doesn’t need to try and draft a young QB next year.

 

[Captain-Crash]

Why would anyone expect a team to consult with a player before trading a 4th round pick?

well if the player is an insecure guy who chokes easily, you need to talk to him. duh.
