@Diehardblues First of all no one is trading jack squat for a QB of questionable talent who had a horrific injury 5 months ago and can’t pass a physical before free agency or the draft and wants $40M/year. No one. So trading Dak is not a possibility before the draft.
Second, you can’t rescind the tag once the player signs. Say you tag Dak day one and he immediately signs. You are on the hook for $37M regardless if Dak can’t even play the year or starts the season on PUP. Say Dak signs the tag and comes back a month later and says ‘sorry Jerry, doc says the leg isn’t healing as fast as expected. Definitely PUP and might not be able to play in 2021. You just flushed $37M down the toilet and killed the season.
Too much risk with the tag. No one is trading squat for Dak or signing Dak to a mega-contract until, and only until, he can pass a physical and lower his contract demands.
Tell me when he can pass a rigorous physical which includes running, cutting, and throwing and independent doctors weighing in positively.
Assume nothing about Dak’s leg. Dak has to prove his leg is sound or no tag, no contract, nothing. Let him become a free agent and all teams will say no.
