That's exactly why I would not be in favor of that, because what I see a team doing in the case of a transition tag is throwing an offer out there with no real intention of acting on it. In a lot of those situations, the agents actually work with other teams to solicit offers because all they are really trying to do is drive the price up and you don't really get a real idea of what the actual market value of a player is. So if you are the Cowboys, you end up driving a steak in the ground and hoping that you are right and if you are not, then you could end up losing the player in the event a team is actually serious. It's hard to know what's what with the transition sometimes. With the other, you basically force Dak's agent to fish or cut bait and I think that's kinda where the Cowboys want to be. They want to lock Dak up for a few years and move on because he is the key. His contract has to be done or, we have to know that we are looking at another QB, before we can do all the other contracts coming up. QB is too big a part of the pie to not know where we will be in terms of cap availability. It's crazy how this works but I guess that's the business.
No argument from me on this. But I like risks. But you're right, it could screw us with other teams knowing full well we can't part with him without a viable alternative. But either way, I'd want to sign him over FTing him.
