Twitter: Schefter: Cowboys likely to use franchise tag on Prescott

[MarcusRock]

Since Zack Martin you’ve used your firsts rounders on Zeke, Taco, LVE and Amari Cooper. Three of those guys are Pro Bowlers.

Dak doesn’t elevate anyone? Cobb and Cooper has their best seasons in years. Gallup went from third round pick to a 1k receiver. That’s elevation.

Yeah, sorry but Cooper and Cobb already had demonstrated success elsewhere first. If they were bums there, you'd have a point. And maybe Gallup's just good. Not all great talent is found in the first round.

 

[Bob-Lillys-War]

Jerry has stated publicly for a year now that Dak is the future of the dallas cowboys, in almost every presser .

Now its time for Jerrah to bend over and cash the 40 M Dak asks for. Jerrah was a fool to talk too soon .

Cooper had 1k seasons wo him. Gallup has potential regardless of Dak, but throws behind either way. Cobb was surprising tbh, thought he was done. Zeke would be a probowler wo team even considered, come on..he was OVER drafted at 4 esp if you're paying the OL this money.
Exaggerating for hyperbole but we were never a threat "passing" in games we lost to good teams. Dak waits, and then waits. I want a QB who doesn't let the team go down 20-3 bf deciding to attempt "risky" throws.

Oh yeah? What's he going to do about it?

He doesn't have to play here. He can say goodbye and hit the market. Why would you tag a player you know wants to move on? Dak, at that point, would be deserving of a second contract in this league and I'd be on his side.

seriously thank goodness you dont own a team or a GM position on it.. you dont throw any asking price at a player especially when they are asking for price well over their talent level.. you also do NOT LET THEM GO..nothings free , the FT will at least give the DC trade options should team believe Dak is worth 35 mil plus 2 1sts

when pigs fly but thats why I Non Exclusive, cheaper to pay out and gives Dak and his agent an eye opener that no team is interested.. he signs or sits.. he hasn't made enough money or have enough skins to give up 28mil FT number.. he might not show up for some early OTAS and the involuntary stuff plus some TC who knows..eventually he comes in and plays..

you simply dont ley players WALK when you have some leverage..its business not FF

Love these kind of well thought out posts, and especially the old standby 'thank god you don't [blank].'

Either he's our franchise QB or he's not. If he is, give him what he wants. If he's not, get one that is.

You’re revising history. When the Cowboys got Cooper he was considered damaged goods and people called Jerry stupid for trading a first rounder for him. He was the only one willing to trade a first. If Cooper was as good as you seem to think he was the Raiders would’ve kept him. Same goes for Cobb. He was considered finished. They all had very good years.

And what’s telling is the receivers coach got fired but Dak remains. So that says they feel the receiving unit should’ve been better than they were.

Does it matter? Stephen said they weren't going to be market setters for Zeke. How'd that turn out?

 

[csirl]

MM will move on. Doesnt need this drama when he's trying to rebuild the team. He'll go with his own choice of QB.

 

[Miller]

I may be dead wrong but this is where I see Jerry and Stephen giving lip service to the media and fans and behind closed doors their first thought is “is he good enough if we pay him big?”

 

[phildadon86]

We don't have a better QB behind Prescott because we haven't valued the backup QB position for quite some time.

You don't do this with a franchise QB, you take that hit. The most logical thing here is that Dak is waiting for the Mahomes contract, which will probably be an historic QB contract. We'll franchise Dak and continue contract talks from there.

The most logical thing here is the cowboys trying to sign him for 7 years and Dak and his team only want 4. But hey. Keep up the logic.

Exactly . They will fold to Dak's bluff .

Go check out Amari in 2017 and the beginning of 2018 and tell me how great he was.

And news flash....when a team goes down 20-3....that’s due to inferior talent or coaching. Ask Aaron Rodgers. That’s why McCarthy got fired.

 

[BigStar]

He was directly asked if he will show up to Fresno if he gets tagged, that was his response. Again, I'm not saying he has NEVER said he won't show up - I'm just getting multiple people saying he outright stated he will holdout if he gets tagged. From that quote, which was just a couple days ago, it does not say this. It's more of "I'll talk to my agent and get his opinion when/if that happens"

Dak is waiting for the Mahomes contract first and foremost. I imagine his agent, just like every other QB agent, will tell him to take that guaranteed money and keep negotiating with Jerry and Stephen.

He rejected 30 plus, that's all I need to know he's bleeding JJ.

MM took this job because he didn’t have to rebuild or want to. He has no intent on rebuild and neither does Jerry.

 

[ESisback]

They don’t sign him and then give him weapons and sign Kitna as a qb coach and they act shocked he had a career year. Why would you help him raise his value just to not sign him? It makes no sense.

Maybe they wanted to gauge how much help he needed first. Offer me 30 million a year to play ball on a winning team surrounded by weapons. Do I feel dissed because they didn’t offer 40 and a team of JAGS?

Market value is a status symbol for prideful morons.

Are you kidding me? Dude, Mahomes contract is going to up all QB contracts, Dak and his agent will be stupid NOT to wait on that. Dak won't shatter the QB market like Mahomes will. Nice reach there. Why would Dak sign now for less money when he can argue for more once the Mahomes deal is done?

Oh, and Watson is also going to be waiting on this...which has been reported. Both Watson and Prescott can use this to their favor as well, putting more leverage on them and getting Jones to potentially get their contracts earlier to get a favorable deal before Mahomes shatters the market.

As I said, they had demonstrated success elsewhere. They've always had the talent. Dak didn't take a no-name and make them into household names like say Wilson did with the likes of Doug Baldwin. Where did Dak elevate a no-name? Cooper is freakin' 25 years old and Cobb would have had similar numbers had he stayed healthy the year before. Where's the elevation?

the FT is abridge to that but gives you more time to evaluate..you just dont cut ties sorry and paying him is a negotiation and so far they havnet come to an agreeable number, Dak is asking for far too much as there are levels of Franchise QBs ie tiers, all teams cant have the top 5 elite type so then the 2nd tier where dak falls in maybe around 10th in the league,, those players are NOT 35mil players and thats the holdup.

the DC want more years to make it more team friendly on the cap and should it fail they have an easier out but Dak wants Wilson Money and thats the hold up.. this isnt the DC fault Dak so inconsistent throughout the year it can make a Gm a bit apprehensive..

we know he can be good but also know he falls flat in big games this season.. thats what the FT is for..

Uhh Russell Wilson did not make Doug Baldwin. Doug Baldwin was a great receiver. That’s like saying Ben Rothlisbergee elevates Antonio
Brown.

Jerrah is weak, he will pay anything to keep Dak .

So hold out it is, and 40M it will be .
