Point is no team is giving a $175-200M contract to a player who cannot pass a physical. Speculate all you want on whether the second surgery on the deltoid ligament was just a clean up or a graft. Bottom line - no team is offering squat until Dak can pass a physical which includes running, cutting, and throwing. And the team will want its own medical doctors to independently examine and take MRIs, x-rays, etc. Common sense.
Now, when do you think Dak will pass a physical? Before FA begins? Before the draft? Before camp begins? Before the season begins? After FA and the draft is too late to land the huge contract in my opinion.
It will all come down to Jerry and loyalty and Jerry is only competing with himself. Is it team first or is it Dak first? We will find out.
First off it was one of the the Cowboys surgeons that did the surgery. Next the Cowboys have already said that they are going to try to get a deal done before having to use the tag again which means signing a deal before the Feb. 23rd - March 9th window to use the tag, so technically they have until March 8th.. The Cowboys will rely on their surgeon who did the surgery and the training staff working with him on rehab to give them an accurate report on Prescott's progress and outlook. I very seriously doubt that Stephen and Jerry pay any attention to all the speculation out there by people who have never examined Prescott or were there for either surgery. I'm sure they will be told exactly what was done in both surgeries.
