One More Year!

I said IF we don’t make a deep run. Lol.

I am however thinking we make the playoffs. Because we missed them last year. And we will probly be one and done again this spurring a change again. So coordinators will be gone and we can get another OC to call plays from JG playbook.

Show me your division winners and playoff teams in NFC.

And I’m curious how you’ve arrived at your thinking“ because we missed them last year” and good enough to get in but “ one and done again”.

 

[Diehardblues]

Just my take, it would take an MVP AND Super Bowl season him to see $30M per season. That would make him damn near highest paid QB in the league. I don't see them doing that. That the angle I think Stephen was taking with his recent comment " Dak will get what he deserves".

Based on Dak’s performance thus far I’d place him more in the Bortyles contract range. 3 years 50 million , 15 million signing bonus.

IMO at a min Cowboys have THREE more years before they probably HAVE to commit to a long-term deal including a one-year franchise tag ( likely in $20-25M range )

The Dallas Morning News considers Dak Prescott a candidate for an extension next offseason.
Prescott is coming off a down 2017, but the Cowboys still view him as their franchise quarterback. "At that position, it is what it is," EVP Stephen Jones said on Prescott potentially landing a $100 million contract. "We all see what some of the other guys who aren't Aaron Rodgers are earning. He's going to do well." This is a vote of confidence after Prescott regressed in the second half of last year. Prescott is signed through 2019 but Dallas may extend him after this season if he rebounds. May 9 - 7:04 PM

This is Dak's contract...

5/31/2016: Signed a four-year, $2.72 million contract. The deal includes a $383,393 signing bonus. 2018: $630,000, 2019: $720,000, 2020: Free Agent

Hmmmmm ...remember the franchise tag can his friend. Could also be reason FO office may wanna do this sooner than later coz longer they wait more expensive it gets. Other words, if I was Dak, the franchise tag would be my floor since all I have to do is wait it out. They either tag or release me. 2018 tag for QBs .......$23M


The rest of the positions are as follows:

Quarterback – $23.189 million

Tight end – $9.846 million

Offensive line – $14.077 million

Defensive tackle – $13.939 million

Linebacker – $14.961 million

Cornerback $14.975 million

Safety $11.287 million

Kicker/Punter – $4.939 million

I very much dislike the franchise tag, either sign the guy or let him walk. What I am in favor of is special dispensation for drafted players against the cap. Based on a team's % of drafted players, they get a proportionate amount in cap wiggle room with re-signing drafted players. This is also assuming drafted players would prefer to stay with their team, if they had the money available. And not just on that 2nd contract. If the cap space had some wiggle room like this, we might not have seen Ware in a Broncos uni. If they wanted to keep Hitchens or Leary, they might have been able to do so. Booger might have been willing to meet Hitchens deal, if he'd had some cap wiggle room.

I think the league should do whatever they can to allow drafted players to stay with their teams to retain some continuity. I hate FA in all sports, if I was a player I'd love it but as a fan, I hate it and that drove me out of MLB.

I see this One More Year thought thrown about regarding Garrett being on the hot seat, Marinelli retiring and Dak either getting a new deal or getting replaced. All three of these men have one more year? Our beloved team does seem to bring most to a good story line. I think allot of the hoopla has to do with attention getting power the D.Cs have in the media.

I do not know where this comes from as I haven't seen Marinelli saying this is his last year and they just started building his D, why would he hang it up unless for health? The man has struggled mightily with injuries and missing players. Why walk away when it is looking up? my guess would be linking this to a J.G departure. a new HC would like to pick his own staff. unless your Wade Wilson. with the utmost respect I am not as hopeful or possibly as insightful as you and some others .I don't see this D any better or worse. the 2ndary is shaky at best, LBs ok if Lee can stay healthy. he might just become frustrated or run out of gas and call it a career sooner than later too.

Not one person in the Cowboys organization has said that Garrett is on the hot seat and it's the playoffs or 3:10 to Yuma for him. Don't let media speculation, because they have nothing else better to do and have to fill the time and fill the Cowboys News quota, plant thoughts in your mind. Just my opinion but Garrett is family and we know how they treat family. He is not getting fired after this season. But we will have one more year of some wanting a crappy season just to get rid of him and that just baffles me. agreed, J J is the only trigger man we have. JJ defies all common sense and excels in stubbornness... mental illness ,the act of doing something over and over again expecting a different outcome only to realize the same results. 1996 and counting
This will be Dak's 3rd season with 1 remaining on his rookie contract, they do not have to do anything with the 2019 season with regards to a new deal. He would have to really come off the tracks or get injured significantly for either of these young QB's to take his place and if he isn't all that they want, he would still have that 4th season to fight for the QB1 spot with either a FA or high draft pick QB. Geno Smith earns more than Dak as of today. JJ and company haven't done well in the cap era at all imo. we are certainly going to loose a major player or someone\s has to renegotiate to make room to keep things as is 2019

Lawrence may have one more year because of his salary demands and the same can be said for Martin as I will be surprised if they keep both. Collins may have one more year because of his injury issues. Jones may have one more year if he's not a CB and gets replaced in the starting lineup and may not be willing to be relegated to backup duty and ST. Collins is already listed a LG not RT ,sumthin is up Lucy. Lawrence is going too see a major payday too if he has another season like last.

However, the only one I would actually bet on having one more year is Linehan. I do think he's the sacrificial lamb should this not be a playoff season and the offense stumble in any way. He's Booger's "escape goat" should they feel the need for one.[/QUOTE with no WO to draw double coverage, TE spot shaky. if I was D coordinator I wouldn't be overly scared of this group. stop Zek period. that would be the hole game plan.

Man, Rod should've retired 3 years ago and Garrett should've been fired after the 2015 season.

Awesome post coach. Sometimes reality TV works and then you get the Kardassians ( intentional misspell btw)

In order.... I think the Marinelli thought is based on him being 70 with an expiring contract and the story (which may or may not have been factual) that Eberflus was offered the DC position but didn't want to step on Mari's toes. The thing is I don't know if that was ever stated by Eberflus or Mari so very little fact attached

JG... ask the most successful teams in the NFL over the past 10 years (NE, Steelers, Packers, Seahawks, Ravens) how many times they have changed coaches over that 10 year span. BTW, the Cowboys rank in the top 10 in w/l records over those 10 years. Now, ask the bottom 10 teams over the past 10 years how many coaches they've gone through making the ASSUMPTION that changing HC's will change the 10 year direction. Fans want to assume there is one easy fix to win another SB, HC change. If that were the case the bottom 10 teams would rise from the ashes. JG has done a good job of keeping this team focused over three very difficult years

Dak, you're right on. We haven't signed the marriage papers yet. Just because we brought Dak to the dance that doesn't mean that we have to marry him after 4 years. Hells bells we gave Romo 11 years (3 as an under study and 8 as a starter) and that was a big mistake, not drafting another along the way during his tenure. I would love to see the brown **** streak on fans uni's, especially in the team whites, behind center in the NFL. Yah, behind the computer they got game.

good post!!

 

[Dbeastmode21]

Hope you right.with Stephan Jones in charge i hope things ll change.he is no family Guy like Jerry.make it or find the door

 

[DandyDon52]

They dumped Romo for dak,
So if they now dump dak,they
Would look stupid.
Just like jg, they will do anything
To try and at least get to nfcc game
Jerry said years ago that they.. Want to stick with jg long enough to reap the rewards
Of letting him learn on the job.
Who knows how long that is.

With dak, they have to make him a success to avoid looking bad.

Their egos work against common sense.

Jg and dak will win enough
To keep their jobs.

They should make playoffs
This year

 

[9of11]

Linehan is probably our next coach....you know...its a all in the family thing in Cowboys land.

 

[ItzKelz]

More worried about what we have this season and how all parties involved will improve. One year from now does nothing for this season.

My dad use to say that all the time! Nice!

 

[RodeoJake]

I've seen bulls and horses do a lot of things, but never play hockey. That's just a tub of bull butter.

 

[Bullflop]

I think JG and Linehan will both get one more year due to this season ending with a record just good enough to allow the FO a good excuse to allow them another year to be about what they were last year. At some point, a decidedly easy year to evaluate, for better or worse, will make their decision one that isn't nearly as difficult to accept or reject JG's and/or Linehan's presence, one way or the other.

 

[ESisback]

Who told you this......certainly hasn't come from the FO. We have seen nothing, from suggesting 2018 is an official ultimatum year for Dak as many fans seem to think. 110% fan talk.........

We now have 2 QBs behind him, one of which is being called “starting material” by many. IMHO the Cowboys are hedging their bets. If Dak falters in 2018, I believe the QB competition will become
really intense.

Let's hope so or this franchise is screwed for the next five years.
