Through their prior missteps and bad decisions, the Joneses have gotten the team neck deep with Prescott and his contract.
They’ve mortgaged the future because they always think they have a shot in the present. So they always need to do anything and everything to keep that ‘core’ together.
And Dak and his agent have used that thinking to their advantage at every opportunity. And they now have all leverage in any future negotiations. The Joneses have given away all of it.
So they currently have two options, to get even further into giving in to anything and everything Dak wants, or to get out now, play out this last year, and take the lumps they’ve already got coming.
My bet, given their track record is that they will give in completely and totally destroy this team in the faint hope of eventually stumbling into ‘being right’.
And they will ultimately have wasted another decade - like they did with Jason Garrett - refusing to change the one thing that truly might have made the difference.
