Obviously

You think he’d still fetch top dollar with his off field behavior and current situation pending?

Maybe. I never mentioned anything about top dollar. You said trade value. He's a generational RB, arguably the best in the NFL. It's not even debatable that a team would sign him.

I understand. I’m not debating that. But would he be discounted with his baggage?

In other words his trade value would be below what most generational RB would be ?

If it was your team would you sign him.

 

[Diehardblues]

If it was your team would you sign him.

If you did there’d be conditions written in and he wouldn’t receive what most RB with his credentials would because of his off field behavior.

 

[G2]

If it was your team would you sign him.

Yep. I would detail certain conditions in the contract.

It's conjecture at this point. Unless he's suspended again, the value doesn't automatically get reduced because he got drunk and was an idiot. The baggage is what it is, but nearly as awful as some are making it out to be.

I would pay him well. Unless of suspension.

Yep, injury is one thing. Suspension gets me paid back some money. Including upfront money.

That’s why I was asking what his trade value would be.

Great to hear that his coach thinks he knows he needs to be smarter, I wonder when it will actually be true?

 

[Diehardblues]

I would pay him well. Unless of suspension.

And that’s the X Factor which effects his trade value and or 2nd contract.

I would not but not because of this incident, which we really don't know the extent of or really if it qualifies as an incident. I wouldn't because he's wanting to be the highest paid RB at around 15-16M and I wouldn't pay that to any RB in the NFL now.

Any trade partner would have to be willing to do that plus give up a premium draft pick. There's not a GM in the league comfortable enough to do that, that would take an owner willing to take that risk.

One with a lot of extra money. Oh yeah that’s JJ..

Teams will wait for us to let him walk and sign him for less assuming he’s still in the league.

We’ll somehow figure out to not receive anything for him. The same brilliant way we managed Ware, Murray, Romo and Dez.

Let’s hope nothing comes of this and he gets like Dez and learns to stay low and at home. If not goodell will run him out.

Yea, I’d suspect our Football Idiot would extend him before others will shell out for him. Remember we know how valuable he is to our QB who will be practically worthless without him. Lol

My money is on the Thug not getting it.

Lol. Do you really believe that Dak is useless without him.
