Jimmy has spoken up for dak countless times. I think you and most of this board are making this a bigger deal than it is. It’s cool that Jimmy and Jerry talk but it’s likely surface level stuff - not deep level decision making.
How would Cowboys fans react would be the better question, because if all we got for Micah was Fields, we got absolutely fleeced. Also, Dak would have to agree to be traded to the Falcons, and highly doubt that would happen.
I would sign Baker Mayfield to a reasonable contract and put some serious pressure on Dak. Dak would wilt before the competition even started and demand a trade. Win-win.
Keep dreaming. That will never happen.
If true, this is the best new variable to happen to Jerry Jones since March 1994--even if JImmy Johnson will has the tiniest input. Hopefully, this new turn, in their old relationship, will take root and blossom. Unfortunately, Johnson must be the more cautious of the two for that to happen.
If he hasn't replied yet, I believe he was referring to AC bashing, blaming, or getting angry with anyone but Dak.
Jerry is running out of years.
Mayfield has put himself in position for a more than reasonable contract. He’s going to choose a team where he has a good chance to start. So if your plan is to try and sign Mayfield to compete with Dak, are you going to extend Dak for what will be $50M+ per season or make him play out the final year of his contract and eat his $55M cap hit? You”re going to have a difficult time signing Mayfield to a “reasonable” contract if you’re taking $55 million cap hit. Plus there won’t be enough footballs to go around to develop Trey Lance. If he doesn’t become the backup QB in 2024, you wasted a fourth round pick. You’re putting yourself into a predicament.
Missed my shot. Curses.
Not so sure it would be a fleecing if Fields plays well like he did the latter half of the year. He was dropping dimes and running all over the place. Sometimes a change of scenery is all they need. Can you imagine Fields with Ceedee? Fields would cost us almost nothing as opposed to Dak. Micah wants paid the bag and we simply cannot pay Dak and him, AND ceedee. Its math.Something dynamic has to happen via trades. I think it will. Daks stock is very high right now, as is Micah. Why not get a cheaper, younger QB for the future? Fields seemed to flip a switch last year and showed something. Between he and Lance, let them compete in Camp. If Jerry has the will, theres a way. All it takes is a phone call. Atlanta and the Bears to me, make alot of sense. Do the Bears REALLY wanna jump back into drafting yet another QB high on the heels of Trubisky and Fields? Thats why I think they might trade for either Micah or Dak. I would make 2 trades. Dak to ATL and Micah to the Bears for Fields. OR Micah to the Bears for the Bears 1st rounder in 2024 and 2025. The Bears throw in CB Jaylen Johnson in that scenario.
true.
Classic case of too many chiefs and not enough Indians.
