People need to stop the 'Dak has all the leverage" rubbish. Dak has no leverage right now. He's in the final year of his contract, so his dead money is the same regardless of whether he's on/off the roster for the up coming season.

Cowboys can save a considerable sum of money by NOT paying him his regular season salary in 2024 i.e. by cutting him.

Cowboys can also decide when to cut him. They can keep him on the roster until final cuts for no cost, which prevents Dak competing for a starting position on another team ala if he had been cut in the offseason.

Cowboys can also tell him to significantly reduce his 2024 salary on the day of final cuts.......or else get cut and get no salary (or reduced salary as backup on another tean). Nothing he can do about it.

Its entirely the Cowboys decision as to if they pay him this season and when they cut him if other cheaper or better options emerge during preseason.

They just paid him $5 million in March to keep him on the roster. The moment he’s cut he’s a free agent. The only thing Dak and France could imagine is better than becoming a free agent in eight months is to become a free agent in less than eight months. Dak’s personal net worth is $70 million. He’d probably appreciate time to consider the next step in his career without having to worry about some rookie left tackle failing a blocking assignment, being forced to be the rushing attack and the quarterback because the team hires has beens and midgets to be running backs, and having his prime target being the most disgruntled player in the league. He is not going to take a pay cut. He is not going to agree to a trade. He is going to show up and do as he’s told. He’s a wealthy young man with better things to do than put up with Jerry Jones.

Maybe just maybe Jerry has seen enough.. I won't forget Jerrys face in that playoff game against GB. He was visibly shaken and upset. The idea of him playing 4 dimensional chess is comical. If he knew anything about Chess he wouldn't of paid Dak last contract.

And Jerry is the one with a pot of gold. He who has the gold makes the rules.

Someone actually reminded me of something important about this lawsuit: it won’t affect the cap at all no matter what happens even if they had to pay out 5x as much.

Allow me to explain. The salary cap is based on league revenue and the lawsuit would not affect revenue but just be an expense owners are forced to eat. Therefore there is no chance the salary cap goes down due to this unless it forces some change that lowers total revenue.

Even if salary cap goes down, Qbs will still make majority of it. Same thing different numbers. People will still be crying
