No way to trade him and his contract to Pittsburgh, Atlanta or somewhere they need a serviceable QB?
Dak and his agent are not stupid, they would only waive the no trade clause if the team trading for him offered him a new contract as well.

Think about it this way, if he is not going to get a new extension, why would he waive his clause to play for a lessor team than the Cowboys? This team has enough talent and the NFC East sucks so bad that the Cowboys have a good chance to win the division almost by default this season. Coming off a playoff season and hitting free agency would be an immediate cash in opportunity for him.

Going to a scrub team and winning 5 games before hitting free agency would lower his value.

So, why would he and his agent accept a trade to a scrub team if a new extension is not part of the deal? He would be better off playing here and hitting free agency next season.

Regardless of anyone's stance on Dak as a QB this poll is pretty revealing about the popularity of Dak with only 18% of fans saying to just extend the guy no matter what.

Looking back at his jersey sales it's pretty interesting as well. On one had I believe he was somewhere in the top 10 in total jersey sales by some metric (Cant find the data to confirm though), but on the other he really only sold a ton of merch was when he was playing lights out on national TV around Thanksgiving. The rest of the year he was outside of the top 10 sellers each week. Meanwhile Micah/Lamb were both consistent big sellers week after week. I know it doesn't mean much in terms of his abilities as a player but it is interesting that the quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys may have some marketability/likability issues. Maybe it's because hes a veteran player and most Dak fans already have jerseys???
Soccer fans from Mexico buy his jersey

I'm 100% on board with this, but are you willing to sacrifice what the Chiefs did to put that defense together?
When Mahomes is your QB and Reid is your coach, the sacrifice comes with just a little less risk. Not sure it would work for us.

If he plays harball, cut your losses and cut him or bench him for Lance. This would probably get him to waive his no trade clause. If he gives in to a team friendly deal, sign him to a prove yourself contract and continue to build around him with the cap savings.

Guess you did do prison time as it is evident you have expertise on the Lord splits?

You served time with Phil Leotardo? At least he only did 20 years, we are still serving a sentence of 28 years and counting...

We are all pretty much aware by now of what choices the F/O has concerning the upcoming deadline of March 13th for Dak's possible extension.
You're the GM what would your choice be?
