There Is No Scenario Where Dak, CeeDee, And Micah All Get New Deals With Cowboys

[mrmojo]

Realistaically, will these 3 players be instrumental in getting the Cowboys to a SB.....thats all I care about. If not why even attempt to sign them to record deals. I just dont see it.....my opinion.

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

The fact that they're all still on the roster. My gut still tells me Dak is gone after this year, but that may be by his choice and not the Cowboys. If they were 100% ready to move on from any of these guys the really should have done it months ago while they could have traded these guys for help in other areas.

They can’t just trade Dak though.

I'd go with letting Dak walk and trading Parsons.

Just a bit different because I believe Parsons is more likely to not live up to the contract than Ceedee would

I could go that way as well, just hate the idea of losing the only pressure player that we have But I’m open to a lot these days as I want change. Yeah Dak will have another good year but the writing seems to be on the wall with him.

Maybe if one of them wasn’t a loser QB.

Well you’ve said it for the past 3 months we know how you feel about Dak lol.

You said three months ago that dak was going to get signed next week.

 

[America's Cowboy]

Not always a win win

If you play and he does well...Win
If you play and he does not and you get a high draft pick ...Win if you see losing as winning.

But what happens if he just plays so so?
What happens if he plays just good enough for the Jones boys to pay him too much But not good enough to be as good or better than Dak.

What happens if Dallas plays him, he sucks and they get a high draft pick. But they get a high draft pick in a draft that has a bad batch of QBs or they take the wrong QB and he turns out to be another Trey Lance, Johnny Football or any number of high end QBs that have bombed in the nfl.

Again...whether you hate Dak or not. There IS a scenario that all three get paid. Might not be this year, Micah could be next year...but still a real scenario where it can happen and saying that it can not is living in denial.

Good Idea, bad idea...should go a different route...does not take away from a NO SCENARIO situation.

Ok, you can have the last word on this topic as I tire of seeing that damn avatar.

Well said, BP!

They can’t just trade Dak though.

If they really wanted to I think they could have though. Had they told him back in February that CeeDees mom doesn't like him so they are rolling with Lance in 2024 and he would the backup that he would play ball in terms of a trade. Now that probably means a select few teams he would go to and probably low compensation coming back to Dallas, but they could force him out if they truly wanted to. Instead it seems like the Jones boys are playing a wait and see in terms of Lance's development then decide on Dak's future.

Oh really? Where did I say that at?

 

[NoLuv4Jerry]

The Vikings did just that today.

And I think it's crazy

I'd argue it's more important to have an elite level WR if you have uncertainty at the QB position. It will be a lot easier for a young guy to have success in the NFL with weapons around him. You go full on fire sale and that is where teams end up with these long rebuild phases. They pick top 10 every year but can never develop their players, especially QBs, because they have zero help around them.

I think it's easy to take an elite WR out of a game with a rookie inexperienced QB. And your 35m WR becomes an expensive decoy.

But with a rookie QB you have the funds to have that expensive decoy. Plus if you’re going to eliminate Lamb it means you’re doubling him. That makes it 5x easier for a young QB to read coverage. Having a guy that defenses are forced to bracket is huge for a young qb in my opinion. Plus as the QB develops you already have a WR1 on the roster.

If you’re just looking at it from a Ceedee lamb getting his numbers piece then yeah you’re right, he’s unlikely to get 1700 yards again with a rookie qb,

 

[Qcard]

I am not sure how it will play out...but I think it would be crazy to pay CD that kind of money and have no idea what you have at QB

That is exactly what Dak Haters want....they want Prescott gone so we can down the rat whole of trusting Jerry Jones and Stephen Jones to find a franchise QB in the NIL era (extension of FA into Collegiate Sports).

Dak Haters are stuck in 1983

I agree with the OP...no way all 3 get resigned. No team in the NFL can afford paying the top paid QB, pass rusher and WR all at the same time. That would be the logical way of looking at it. But the NFL salary cap is like the American economy. As long as NFL inflation rises (the very cost that gets passed on to the suckers who attend live games, buy the crappy food and shoddy merchandise) then teams live beyond their means. But someday reality will hit the NFL universe hard. There won't be ongoing yearly salary cap raises. In fact, it'll go the other way. Wait and see!

Dak fans don't want to accept that their boy is the odd man out.

That's why you're seeing so many emotional responses to my logical post.

I post with logic. They post with their feels.

Sewell, St Brown, Goff? In 26 they will be almost 50 percent of the cap…

Goff will most likely not be a 23% cap hit in 2026. Teams do everything to avoid that. You just can't win that way.

 

[Bobhaze]

It all boils down to salary cap burden commensurate with production.....including PLAYOFF production.

I wish JJ and SJ saw it that way.

I mean it depends. We don't know what the salary cap is in 2026....his cap hit might be less than 20% for all we know.

 

[CowboyStar88]

It's going to be CeeDee. WR is INFINITELY more replaceable than the QB position. A fringe top-10 QB is a lot more valuable than a top 5 WR.

Age and stage of career could also play into it.

That 23% is an estimated cap hit for 2026. It may not be spot on, but I doubt it's too far off.

I know this year was 2 or 3 percentage points off of what they thought it would be.
