Ranking teams that would trade for Cowboys QB Dak Prescott

[KingCorcoran]

Another option, eat the 59 million this year and sit him.

Lance/Rush, a FA or draft a QB can start while dak gets splinters.

Dak's stock goes way down as he sits on the bench in September. By October he's begging us to be traded because sleep number cut his contract, can't have a bench warmer doing commercials for their product. We get a first before the trade deadline.

Come 2025 we start off with a fresh cap and may have a great draft pick from Dak's trade, plus probably a losing season. hat will be our "all in" year.

Yes. And treating an all-pro player in that manner would certainly signal to players’ agents that Dallas is a good place for their client. And, of course, Dak Prescott is not the kind of man with courage enough to call Jerry Jones’ bluff. Dak’s stock is not going to go “way down” just because Jerry turns out to be a bigger clown than people already think. And it especially won’t go down when a team can sign him without giving up any player or trade capital to the Cowboys, and he is 100% healthy from sitting all season. Your idea has real merit. It is very Dallas Cowboys.

What's you option/plan? Extend him?

What's you option/plan? Extend him?

If Jerry Jones does not believe Dak Prescott is going to be able to win a Super Bowl, or if he feels he cannot assemble a team good enough to win a Super Bowl with Dak as the quarterback, cut him. Spread the cap hit over two years instead of all in one year. Go with a quarterback you have and/or can acquire within the parameters of the salary cap. Brace for some potentially difficult seasons, build through the draft, which Jerry likes to do anyway, and as the Dak cap hit comes “off the books” seek a quality free agent quarterback if in fact you have not found one in the next two drafts and Lance is not the guy. Other teams have taken one step back to be able to take two steps forward. I get Jerry does not believe the Dallas Cowboys are “other teams”, so he’ll be reluctant. And there is the very real chance wherever Dak Prescott ends up his team wins more games than the Cowboys embarrassing Jerry no end. And there is the difficult realization that Jerry knows he has a limited amount of time left among the living, he may not want to take “one step back”. But, that’s what I’d do IF I were Jerry AND did not believe Dak Prescott is a high quality NFL quarterback. If it was me, not Jerry Jones, sign Prescott, 5 Years, $280 million, $196 million guaranteed, which would make him the highest paid player in NFL history… for about six months, at most, when three or four other guys leap frog him.

I think the Bucs paid Brady something like $35 million this season in dead money and they paid Baker Mayfield something like $1.7 million for the season. So in effect they paid circa $37 million for the QB position and still made the play offs and won a game.

There are ways around Prescott - the front office just need to cut the apron strings and move on.

Most likely, he's already been paid all of it and that's just the cap hit that was pushed down the road.

Sorry, yes that's what I meant.

This is exactly right. Most of us are convinced Dak won't be able to win a super bowl. And the frustration is that the Cowboys NEVER try to find a replacement. Frankly the draft history of this team post Aikman is really embarrassing. Considering it's the most important position on the team it's criminal.

Being scared you might have a rough couple of years is why Dak will get his extension. It will sell some merch. Drive the TV ratings. Just knowing how each season will end feels like we just wasting away the years until he is finally gone.

"I blame Jerry for nobody wants to trade for Dakie. I blame Jerry for the interceptions too. Do better, Jerry."

Ultimately it is Jerry Jones’ team. Since he owns it, he owns it.

None

I had 8-8 with Garrett for 10 years and I'd rather watch paint dry then that again

How about we agree both suck just in different ways.

It’s not a reach to think the issue is the franchise, the environment the plays occur in, not the signal caller. Mental fortitude and toughness trickle down through an organization from the highest levels. Prescott’s done nothing but steward league-leading offenses whenever he’s been healthy, though they certainly haven’t been league-leading in the postseason. Teams would have every reason to believe that like Stafford, a change of scenery could take Prescott from statistical winner to actual champion. NOTE: Dak has a no trade clause but he may want to escape.

12 teams, ranking which ones make the most sense.

https://cowboyswire.usatoday.com/lists/ranking-teams-that-would-trade-for-cowboys-qb-dak-prescott/?

1. Atlanta Falcons​

The Falcons have a ton of young weapons and a competent enough defense that they are just waiting for the right head-coach QB scenario to come to town. If Bill Belichick gets the gig like it appears, they’d absolutely pony up the price tag of two first-round picks to acquire Prescott and hit the ground running.

no team is interested because they all know jerry wont let him go.

 

[CATCH17]

Dak for Minkah Fitzpatrick and a 4th.

 

[rambo2]

If we did that and won 3 games next season, it would be way more satisfying than just running it back with the same team to me. At least we're trying something else than what clearly doesn't work.

Lol, the circus in here would cry more than they do now.

Truth.

Dallas saves 35 mill in 2024 cap by cutting Dak.

so we can't place any blame on any player or coach, why do you watch it?
why do you guys look at the draft, FA, coaches, or anything to do with the team?
