The goal should be convincing Dak to waive the no trade clause

[Bullflop]

Dak is currently in a very advantageous position to negotiate with the Cowboys for a very lucrative contract. He's not about to forfeit that for some indiscriminate chance to give up his prospects for another team. There's no guarantee that another team would offer him any more than what the Cowboys might have to relinquish to keep him. Dak's agent, France, surely isn't dumb enough to put his client at risk in that foolish manner.

It’s easy enough to do. Tell him he is in an open competition with Lance and Rush . Tell him the draft is going to be focused on improving the defense. Hoffman is your starting center and Bass is your starting left guard. Let him know he will be playing the first quarter of each playoff game. Minnesota Denver, New England are potential trade partners.

A team would only trade for him if they were ready to give him a new contract.

If another team is ready to give him a new contract, then Dak's agent would not turn down a trade request.

5 years $300M.

Ridiculous.

Ha, ha ha - Nope !

No team is allowed to talk to Dak’s agent because Jerry has not approved it. No matter what Dak’s agent would or wouldn’t do is a moot point. Dak is under contract to the Dallas Cowboys and no matter how much he and his agent may want to leave the Cowboys, they’re stuck until the current contract expires. Jerry has not indicated he intends to allow Dak to go elsewhere at this time.

Dak (and his agent) would have to have a pretty good feel that a team or teams were ready to make a long-term commitment to him, but also be willing to give up assets.

Dak can just wait, hit the open market, and a team can sign him without also having to give the Cowboys any trade compensation. For his trouble, he gets paid $29 million dollars next season, or $1,611,111.11 weekly for 18 weeks during the season. All while playing for the most watched franchise in sports, and the endorsement dollars that come with that.

You Jones Fan Boys are going to have to take your medicine. Stephen has completely mishandled Dak's contract every single step of the way.

Do you think anybody here does not know that?

Teams request permission from the other team to speak to the player/agent when they want to trade for a player.

Sure. But in this case France gets to tell Jerry “no”. He gets to say “there will be no trade, I want Dak to be a free agent”. And Jerry gets to say “well, thanks for at least taking my call”. 3rd round comp pick in 2026. That’s what the Cowboys will get for Dak.

 

[MoistMayonnaise]

Like we did, I mean never did w Romo? Yeah, great idea to get our QB injured in preseason.

That is the whole point. Make him want to leave.

 

[ArtClink]

Did you hate Romo too or just Dak?

At this point GM Jethro has absolutely zero control of Dak.

Immaterial.

You would have to simply allow Dak's agent the leeway to negotiate with any team and then present that trade back to Dallas.
Dallas would of course give basic parameters to get discussions going but final trade could be tweaked by a round here or a condition there.


Some team would then need to pay the desired Dak frieght. Lets say 60M AAV, 5 years (guessing France no longer wants to go 4 years at Dak's to be age) 180M GTD. 80M SB, 40m roster bonuses in year 2 and 3. bases at 2,4,4 fully GTD through 3 years.

Potentially get an R1 swap to a team in the high teens, plus a 2nd.And a conditional 2025 pick 2/3/4 based upon Dak starts/PB appearance.

I could easily see SF offer that deal. But my guess is Dallas prefers it to be a with a mid-round R1 pick like Vegas. Swap 24 up to 13 and ensure you can draft Penix Jr.
If he has a good rookie season maybe you keep Micah and CeeDee and roll... if not you move them and tear it down.

if you ask the people around here, every time you mention trade Dak they throw up to you is NO TRADE CLAUSE as if it can't be manipulated by Dak, if he says yes it's on and Poppin, but they make it seem like it can't ever be changed!

would Dallas have to take on some of the deal to get the trade done. Was that the cooks deal where they the Texans I think took on some of the money to help the trade go through easier

 

[jterrell]

Ask his agent to find out how much teams are willing to pay him this season if he’s traded there. So for instance if LV or Minnesota would give him his 60+ APY with 150-200 million upfront then allow the agent to broker the deal. Then tell Dak you can stay here and make 35 million in 2024 or get traded and make 150 million in 2024. He’d go.

Why he would do it is cuz his new signing bonus and salary would be upwards to 150 million in 2024, as opposed to 34. Why the other team would do it is they can secure his rights. Why we’d do it is we might get more than a 3rd for him.

Yup. That is the parameters.
Dak would pick his team, said team would lock deal in before wolves got to bid on the feast and Dallas claims a bounty much larger than a future R3 pick.
France handles it all so Dallas never shopped Dak if they can't get the deal they want, and we are still at status quo except France has a real idea of what other teams will pay Dak and what situations he might actually accept.
DAL can negotiate off of that knowing Dak didn't really want to accept any other team.

When you have given up this much power only answer is to hand it all over and let them dictate what it takes to walk away or re-balance the power by staying of their own free will.

 

[Jarv]

Why would the MVP runner up and 2nd team all pro quarterback be in a quarterback competition with Lance and Rush. No other organization would do that.

Who does what we do?

Lol...How many fans do you think the Jones have on this forum?

 

[Jfconrow]

Dak would just move on no strings attached. That a pretty nice place to be. You've got to think he'll be playing to protect himself this year. I wouldn't expect him to scramble very much or hold the ball. I don't even think a down year would hurt Dak that much, he can just say, they gave me no Oline, offensive weapons, or long term contract. So I was playing to protect myself. Dak won't even want to make the playoffs.
