I don't agree with what Sean Payton did to Russell Wilson, and I hope it costs him his job.
However, the fact that he did it shows that NFL teams can afford to eat a bad contract and move past one player. In the Cowboys case, they should bench Prescott for the season and make him sit for a year before entering free agency. The fact that it would cool the market for his services might make Dak amenable to a trade this year that will allow the Cowboys to get something out of the deal.
Either way, the Cowboys and their fans win simply by getting Dak off the field in a Cowboys uniform and that gives the franchise hope for the first time since the hiring of Jason Garrett.
I'm sorry OP, and I mean no disrespect but this is stupid. Like really stupid.
1. By sitting a top 10 QB, you're not teaching him a lesson, you're keeping him fresh for the next team.
2. By sitting him, you let every other team know that he's not coming back next year, meaning a team who was interested in paying Dak what he wants, can just wait and not offer any draft capital to get him
3. If we really think Lance is the answer, The time to trade Dak was before the draft. Since We didnt do that, that tells me the cowboys are unsure themselves and Dak knows that. They have no leverage over him, so if we aren't going to extend him, our only option is to play him and hope for the best.
