CFZ Options for moving on from Dak?

[Cowboys1966]

First off, Jerry loves him, so he’s not going anywhere… There’s also that nasty no trade clause…But what if…

Impossible
Cut this offseason, pre June 1. 89m in dead money.

Not impossible,
Cut this offseason, post June 1. There is no point to do this as his P5 is guaranteed. Literally no reason to do this…

Possible but kills our 23 offseason.
Trade this offseason, pre June 1. A little cheaper than Outright cutting him as his guaranteed p5 would move with him. Still 58m in dead money.

Plausible
Trade this off-season, post June 1. This is the sweet spot. We would save 31m in cap space for 2023. We would still have 40 million in Dead money, but it would be spread over future years 2024 - 2026.

Trade - You ask why would anybody trade for him? The answer is that since we would eat his remaining signing bonus, the acquiring team would get him on a two year 65m non guaranteed contract. There is actually value in that… Still that no trade clause though.

So there you have it. The only realistic option for 2023 is a post June 1 trade, that Dak agrees to. I think we could get a first round pick for for him… Maybe something like the Carson Wentz deal between Philly and Indy - a 23 third rounder and conditional 24 first rounder. .

Having said all that, I just dont have the faith that the Jones Boys would invest in blue chip free agents to fill the current gaps with this newfound money.

We can cut and trade the fat in daks lower body that makes him run so slow! I've been on Zeke for years, Dak looks like the slowest person on the team

That's the only thing that matters.

He isn't going anywhere for a few years.

 

[Mannix]

Booger does NOT love him....Booger is STUCK with him because he and Chuckles made a huge mistake.

Regardless of his fatty deposits, he still does the best “hip twisty” exercises in the entire league.

That's really all you needed to say, but I appreciate the info.

Yeah I know you’re right… But with that extra draft capital I would mortgage the farm And try to get up to the top of the draft… Like the Eagles dead in 16.

Dak still has two years remaining on his contract and I don’t see the Cowboys moving on from him but it’s possible they could take a QB within the first three rounds in April. They’re going to have to start preparing for life without him because they may not re-sign him.

If that’s true then we might as well stop following the NFL.

 

[CB0711]

Who are they moving on WITH? Who is out there that is a huge difference maker they could potentially trade for? Which would also take away the one thing the Cowboys do right…draft picks. And they certainly don’t have a top draft choice to help them out. They are NOT moving on from Dak anytime soon. Get over it. Their only chance is to go all in, hopefully in a good way like (god I hate to say this) Philly has.

 

[Avery]

Dak is here the next two years, not even a question.

We have no one to replace him with.

 

[Tabascocat]

There is no reason to even entertain this until the end of 2024. He isn’t going anywhere for the next two seasons at least.

 

[Adiba1977]

Think 2024 you cut bait unless he restructure lower deal.

Only one problem....that pesky no-trade clause that Jerry forgot to take out of the contract. I'd trade for Zach Wilson in a heartbeat...if the Jets wanted to move on.

 

[Swagger]

Anyone

 

[TheCoolFan]

Really hope a decent QB prospect falls to the 20s where we will be picking. This is the perfect time to draft a QB and let him sit for a few years while Dak finishes out his contract. If they still have not advanced far in the playoffs after 2024, are they really going to re-sign Dak to another big contract at age 32? I think even Jerry has more sense than that.

There are none, short of a career ending injury he's here for awhile

I say we just cut Zeke, trade up for a QB, bench Dak, and let the rookie ride before he gets singed by this toxic workplace we witness every Sunday.

....cut Kellen Moore and you'll begin to solve a bunch of problems on offense, almost immediately.
