Jerry Hands You The Keys To Cowboys Until After The Draft

[kskboys]

What helps Tyron Smith is his cap hit. Its low have you seen the prices of guys close to his caliber?

S. Gilmore is currently trying being offered for a 2nd. No one is bitting. A 3rd and future 4th would work

Dang, salary dump by NE.

 

[Croomraider]

Cut Cooper -- draft best wideout available (great top heavy wideouts in this draft)
or
Cut Collins -- draft best Oline available
or
Cut Tank --- draft Rousseau
or
Sign Dak to his Tender for 1 year ---- draft Fields
or
Cut J. Smith --- draft Parsons

-----------
Pretty sure we have to cut one of these guys to make room for Dak's contract so I'd assume
we will have a pressing need very soon.

I cut the dead weight off the team . Tyrone Crawford, Cameron Erving,Noah Brown,etc.. If they are free agents,let them walk.

I talk to the Jets at #2 who are interested in Deshaun Watson but Texans want 3 1st rounders. I say we give Dak for 2 1st rounders 2nd & 23rd and. Darnold. Then I propose to give them Ezekiel Elliott & DeMarcus Lawrence for 2021 2nd round pick & 3rd round

So now I have 2,10,23 in the 1st round ,picks 34 & 44 in the 2nd round.and 3 picks in the 3rd round. 2 in the 4th,5th,2 in 6th,7th


I'm wheeling dealing throughout the draft trading down for all the draft picks I can get.

I have freed up cap space for new players on rookie contracts.

I hope to get atleast 20 to 25 fresh players on this roster .

I will show the players in PFN MOCK SIMULATOR I selected. I got 20

Get ready for some insane moves.

I’ve seen two actual viable plans so far
One start over and have years of top picks
One still hurt over not getting Wentz when he came out

 

[dogunwo]

This was just another thinly veiled Dak thread.

 

[DC Cowboy]

What 5 reasonable roster/draft moves you making that make the team better .. By reasonable I mean we’re not trading for Mahomes..

1. Sign Dak
2. Sign best FA DT available
3. Sign most affordable/best DB available
4. draft LB from Penn State (Smith last year w/ Cowboys)
5. draft DB if LB is gone

 

[tyke1doe]

Give up the entire draft to go get Trevor Lawrence.

 

[J-man]

Sign Prescott
sign Looney
sign Awuzie
sign Lewis
sign Rankins

 

[Vinnie2u]

Give up the entire draft to go get Trevor Lawrence.

might take 2 or 3 drafts.

The first move has to be resolve the Dak contract. Being specific, I would offer Dak a 6 year deal at $36 million a year and wait for his response. If he is willing to negotiate the term or money, I negotiate with him but I would not give him more than $36 million at year. If he is willing to sign for 6 years, I may be willing to up the average salary a little but under no circumstances will I go over $40 million. If he is unwilling to compromise, I franchise him and try to trade him to a team willing to give him what he wants. But, I will not go into the 2021 season with uncertainty surrounding Dak. In otherwords, I would not keep him on the franchise tag again in 2021.

Next move is to restructure a few deals to free up some cap room. My deal with Dak is going to make some space in 2021 but I want to add to that. I would dangle Amari Cooper out there as trade bait to see what I could get for him. If I can get the right deal for him it frees up a lot of room for defensive free agents. This is unpopular but the trade payoff and the CAP space should ease everyone's concerns.

In free agency, I go hard at the defensive tackles. I like Tomlinson and Rankins. Signing one of them would be my preference. I would also sign Chido Awuzie if he is willing to take a reasonable deal. I am thinking $5 million to $6 million a year is reasonable. Anthony Brown got that last year. If I trade Dak, I'd look for a FA QB but something tells me the best move is the draft.

The draft: If I could not sign Dak, I would look to draft a long term answer at QB. I am not sure yet where the QBs fall in the rankings and I am sure there will be some movement as we get closer to draft week. But QB would be a priority. I would also look for a player like Ryan Fitzpatrick to play until my young QB is ready. Fitz is already practiced at this role.

For the rest of the draft I am focused on defense. CB, S, LB and DT as well as OL and RB for the offense. Best players at these positions in each round. If I traded Dak and Cooper, obviously the extra picks will help restock the WR position.

It is impossible to predict each move because it all revolves around Dak. If he is re-signed then there will be less room for free agents. In that case I focus on DT only. If I get an extra first round pick in 2021 for Dak, I may have to use it to move up for a QB in the first. That changes the draft.

If the Cowboys come out of this offseason without the QB, CB, S and DT positions resolved or upgraded, the offseason will be a failure.
