You guys are silly and illogical.
Dak having all the leverage means nothing. Why blame Dak for anything.
The Jones boys have not even met with Dak or his agent. They haven’t made an offer. They are dragging their feet when everyone wanted it done before free agency. Not Jerry and Stephen. They seem happy to have an excuse. They are planning to sign Lamb and Parsons. This lack of activity in FA is much more about those guys than about Dak. No anger towards them wanting to be top at their positions in $?
The Cowboys could have reduced Dak’s salary at any point in the past months, but they didn’t want the money yet because they were never going to spend it in free agency. They could have lowered Dak’s pay and freed up significant funds for free agency with a restructure that didn’t even require Dak’s permission, but that’s all waiting till they prepare to work with Lamb and Parsons.
I love Lamb, but he is the big mistake waiting to happen. Great player, but paying a WR top money is a mistake. WRs are available more and more every year. Keep drafting top guys every 3-4 years. Lamb vs a younger talented WR is not the difference in winning big games.
Pay your QB, your pass rush, and build the middle of your DL and OL. Everything else can be adjusted.
Just watch….Dak’s contract will get done, and his cap hits will be lowered in a big way from 59 million, but that money will be given to Lamb and Parsons.
