Who would the right team be? He's far more interested in chasing the bag than he is with winning, so would it really matter who he ends up playing for? I don't think it will. Whomever is the highest bidder when free agency starts next spring is where he will go.
Should have shopped Dak before the draft. Could have moved up in the draft significantly. Signed Ceedee and Micah and drafted a QB
I think he goes to the best team that offers the most. I don’t think he goes to a Giants team if the Jets want him.
Not many could take that 58 million dollar cap hit at that time. This is why you don’t wait until the last minute.
Raiders for sure imo
When did Dak make it crystal clear he would agree to a trade? I have not seen that.
Exactly.. just don't forecast well at all as a FO when you really need to w/this kind of talent on your team. CD should have been re-signed last yr before the season then focus would have been on Dak and Parsons this offseason depending on the outcome from the playoffs. It's definitely more in-depth than this, but it's obvious a team's hands are tied if you don't at least try to get ahead of these contracts before the last yr.
That's because no talk of it has ever come up. JJ/SJ frozen w/cluelessness all offseason on what they are going to do this year and Dak doesn't have anything to say since they aren't saying anything but delaying a contract re-up. A progressive FO would have jumped on that opportunity to at least have that talk with Dak and see if he'd be open to going to another team and working that out before the draft if you know you're not sold on him for the long term.
Raiders too. Especially if Davante is still there.
...hate to say it, but probably cursed in some form. Bad things occur, at worst possible times.
If they signed him long term the cap hit wouldnt be 58 million. Pretty sure Dak wouldnt accept a trade to stay on his final year.
The media does not get it, Jerry is in the drivers seat either way when it comes to Dak’s contract. If the Cowboys don’t make it to the NFCCG next season it will be easy to for Jerry not to pay Dak and let him walk. If Dak plays spectacular and we go to the Super Bowl, then he gives Dak the bag. Nothing is lost on Jerry. Dak is practicing so there is nothing to see here.
You still have to have that guaranteed money before you sign a guy which makes it difficult to do a trade for such a high salary.
Wouldn’t the cowboys pay out the rest of his guaranteed money and the next team pays his new contract ?
I’m not sure I’m speaking on the new deal he’d sign. Unless he wouldn’t sign a new deal until next year which I can’t see.
Great post!!!
