You have a lot more faith in the lunacy of our society than I do.
You never know of course . But I don’t think it’s the same as Emmitt.
We are a 6-10, 8-8 type team now . Even with Dak. Not reigning SB Champs. That’s a huge difference.
That said , the general buzz I’m hearing locally is we should sign Dak . And I seriously thought we would . But the closer we get the less likely it is.
The national vibe is often different than locally. Here , Jerry will bashed regardless the decision he makes. Lol
That’s the good news . Most I’m close to felt we should have signed him in 2018 before his contract expired like most of the better QB’s are being handled.
Jerry has followed public perception though and it’s looking like it’s going to cost him I think cause Dak isn’t messing around. He’s standing firm . He knows he can get a deal elsewhere next year . It might not be 4o mil a year but it will be close. The cap will rise again in 2022.
I think Jer and cheapskate son think they can ride the tag one more year and if he has a big year then public perception will support signing him to a big contract. But by then Dak will have soured of staying in Dallas. And he can write his ticket anywhere .
