What is Dak's Trade Value?

[KJJ]

You have dopes on this board that don’t think he’s worth a hill of beans and want to cut him. At least that’s the crap some spew here. It’s all part of their dumb agenda.

 

[ghst187]

Anyone who thinks Dak would not bring a 1st should be banned from football in general. C'moooooooooonnnnn.

I’m pretty mixed on Dak but even someone who really doesn’t think much of him would have to admit he’s at least better than literally half the league starters. The bar is low.
But then again, Jerry Jones is one of the worst trade negotiators of all time

Prescott would have to agree to the trade because of his clause in the contract so sending him to some loser is not going to happen.

And I would not limit the possible trade partners to the NFC, there are AFC team in dire need because of the competition and they might actually be willing to pony up more. A team like IND, TEN, HOU, LV, or NE. And since the marquis QB's are in the AFC, that might make it easier to sell to Prescott.

But, don't sell the value of Prescott short or his ability to help keep a GM's and HC's job for a little while longer. In spite of what they say, every team's annual goal is not the SB.

But this is all for fun, they are not trading him to any team, they will keep him and extend him. You have to consider his intrinsic value to Booger in his marketing and promotion of the team. He would rather have the most discussed QB in the media than the best one,

I would still sell his value short. He is already pretty much viewed as a quarterback that’s been on a very good roster that has not made it past the divisional round in the playoffs. I don’t see a HC or a GM selling a fanbase on Dak being the answer, especially at his age. I realize he is not ancient by QB standards, but he is already less mobile than he once was.

And I also believe that the Russell Wilson trade has hurt future quarterback trade values. What Denver gave up was at least partially understandable because he had won a Super Bowl and been to another. I don’t see Prescott’s value being anywhere close to that considering his playoff accomplishments are far less.

There's around 5-6 teams minimum who would jump at that, Prolly more.

You could be right. But if you are, and I'm the GM, I take that in a heartbeat. Then do what Carolina did and use those picks to move up and get the best QB in the draft. Even if that QB is as good as Dak, I have the same QB on a rookie deal. The only way I lose is if the QB is a bust. No question in my mind I take the two first rounders plus for Dak. I'd actually have to hide my smile.

 

[fivetwos]

Depends on his year. If like last year, do you really thing they could get a 1st round for a 30 year old QB, that is showing signs of regression and will demand a huge contract.
If a good year and they get to the NFCCG, then why would they even entertain trading him.

That is not an educated guess...that is pure knowledge. No research necessary.

It’s beyond hypothetical to where it’s not worth discussing, and I usually know better and stay out of these threads.

I realize he hasn’t won enough here as of yet, but there are a ton of teams that he would be a major upgrade on, and the cost would be high.

It’s doesn’t much matter what something’s value is when there’s no shot the owner sells it.

If there’s another 2-3 years of nothing but bad playoff losses, maybe it’s best for both sides to move on, but he isn’t going to be easy to replace, and it’s likely that at least a few seasons are thrown away on it.

After building what is looking like a very good defense and being lucky enough to retain the coordinator, I can’t for the life of me understand why some want to just blow it up and get rid of the QB.

Thats petty, any franchised starting QB in the NFC fetches 2 firsts as a base line.

 

[PAPPYDOG]

Two firsts, two 3rds and a 4th.

Throw in a Winnebago and you're good to go bud......

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

He is a 29 year old starter. The scarcity of the VFA QB market speaks for itself.

Yes but in this league you have a team that gave up the farm and the top contract, guaranteed, to a player facing suspension for his deeds in HOU.

I never sell the NFL short on what they'll do. Hell, I've known fantasy players that curated their team better than many of these people.

 

[GINeric]

It sure is tough finding a QB that leads the NFL in INTs while missing 5 games and fails over and over in big games.

What ever would we do without Dak?

We??? You're not a Cowboys fan clown!! Go sit your weak *** down somewhere lil guy.

Fair points…it only takes one I guess

 

[Aerolithe_Lion]

It’ll be a first, and probably a little bit more based on recent QB movements. One big factor is how many teams are in on it; that killed Rodgers’ and Carr’s markets

 

[CouchCoach]

And there always seems to be one. And sometimes that was the Cowboys with Galloway and Williams.

And at any given time, there are 6-10 GM's/HC's with their jobs on the line so decisions aren't always clear to us. The Bears GM and HC tried to save their jobs by trading up to take Fields, knowing he wasn't ready to start at QB in the NFL. But what the hell, when the straws are scarce, grasp at anything.

Arizona?

Cardinals would jump at bringing in Prescott with his "intangibles" and "leadership";
But do you think Jones, Jones & Co would want Kyler Murray with his issues inhouse, plus his late-season ACL injury?

Who said anything about taking the midget from Az back in a trade? No, it would have to be three first round picks

 

[Toro9]

Wilson (33 years old at time of trade) = 2 first round picks, 2 2nd round picks, a 5th rounder, Noah Fant, a DT and Drew Lock

Watson= 3 first round picks (250 million fully guaranteed over 5 years)

Rogers (39 years old) = First, 2nd, 6th (2 years left on his contract of 100k total)

Yeah... I'm re-thinking this now. Could probably get a 2nd at least, then... I don't think Watson is all that great. He's good, but that much better than Dak? I'm a bonehead. I don't know.

 

[jazzcat22]

If you are a Cowboys fan, you did. Overpaying underproductive players keeps a team from playoff success.

No one cares about the players' personal finances. It's only relative to the salary cap which is tied into building a super bowl contender. Unwise mgmt thereof gets you playoff losses.

So Dak is not overpaid then?

 

[Motorola]

Why would you think the Cardinals would even negotiate to get Prescott if it didn't require the Cowboys taking back Murray and his gargantuan contract?


Aquire one QB who's set up to get a lucrative contract....but-but-but ...still keep your starting QB with a similar deal?

 

[Tussinman]

The point is that first rounders would definitely be in the conversation. Now if we wait 3 or 4 more years and Dak plays bad than sure. But I dont see that happening.

If he plays good (not great) this year then it probably only marginally drops his stock, and you see a single first. If he gets injured this year, then that's when the first probably isn't in play anymore. If he plays so well that 2x first are even in discussion, then he's not getting traded regardless.

One big factor is how many teams are in on it; that killed Rodgers’ and Carr’s markets

True as well. If there does end up being 4 QBs with top 15 grades and not a lot of free agent buyers then that could lower the value like you said

 

[Aerolithe_Lion]

At the time Watson was traded, he was regarded as a top 5ish QB at 26(?) years old. I would have been scared away by the off the field stuff, but the Browns apparently weren’t.

Compare that to Dak, where people are throwing parades here every time a pundit’s list slips him into the top 10
