I know I know another Dak Thread, but in all seriousness, the Jones have done this in the past and said we will not deal with certain agents and have chosen to not sign players who work with unreasonable agents. Id say Dak we are going to Franchise tag you and we are going to draft a QB in Round 1,2 or 3. if you cannot find a Another agent we will be forced to move on from you... Not because we do not want you but we cannot work with your agent.... Let him chew on that and go back to his agent and say OK OK guys this is nuts my favorite team is about to draft someone to replace me because we cannot come to an agreement, let's sit down and get this done.
That's the kind of thing Jerry should have been doing. Also could have let Dak's agent talk to other teams and get us some picks for him. Once Dak is tagged, Jerry should be talking to some of the prime free agent QBs. A couple of HOFers available.
But it's hard for Jerry to have much credibility with all his public talk of having no Plan B.
Jerry *should be* publicly saying that the Cowboys QB position has massive marketing value to a player, he expects that to be taken into account by players in contracts, and he will be talking to free agent QBs to do his due diligence to find the best value at QB for the team.
If for nothing else, that will focus media attention on the COwboys, and eyeballs are money in sports entertainment.
