The real complaint could be that Jerry fudged last season, when he had the ideal opportunity to make a definitive decision:
a) All-IN - behind the GB team and enhance in FA.
b) Trade away: Dlaw, Osa, Martin, J-Lew (for draft capital) and reset the CAP, allowing Dak to play out the contract. One year off, and come back with a decent draft haul.....and possibly re-signing Dak, after seeing how he coped with a lesser roster.
We took the worst of both options: didnt retool, allowed the roster strength to dwindle to nothing (meaning we're starting from a low start point) and 'that contract' meaning instead of one year of irrelevancy, we take 2+.
