When, and what is the earliest way out of the Dak deal? Not asking for your opinion. Facts only. Has anyone studied the contract.

It’s really a 3 yr deal, could bail sooner if you willing to eat cap.

2026 as a post June 1st cut. There would still be 60 million in guarantees left, but spread over 3 years they save over 40 million a season. So it's not impossible, but the Cowboys should use 2025 to draft and develop a qb if they're serious about it.

Do you really think Jerry is going to pay Dak 60 million to sit on his couch? It will never happen, we are stuck with him for the next three seasons at best.

That’s a good question. The answer has to do with how much Jerry wants to pay out of pocket. So maybe 2026.

But here’s the thing, there are quite a few other franchises in the same boat right now. This is exactly like when the NFL started paying their 1st round QBs more and more money until the owners got together and put an end to it.

No way anyone should be paid next man up when you aren’t the top player in your position in the league.

Run it back Jerry. Cowboys fans continue to fork over their hard earned pesos every year. They want MOAR.

He moved on from Romo who had 20 million in dead money, which is basically the equivalent of 60 million in qb dollars today.

If there was a replacement in place or he doesn't rebound its certainly a possibility. He also moved on from Owens contract not too long after signing them.

Jerry wasn't willing to fire MM over 10% of what Dak would be owed at the earliest we could release him.

Willing to eat Cap? I'd be willing to eat CRAP before I'd put Dak @ QB1 in 2025.

He's done here. I'm literally doing everything I can to find and draft a franchise QB @ this point.

I'm over it- I can't believe we signed him to the new deal.

Dead money isn’t the same as the 60 million real money though. I don’t doubt Jerry wouldn’t take a dead cap hit on Dak but he will certnot give him 60 mill for free.

By the end of the season, jerry will come to the realization that he has to move on from dak prescott.
Maybe Dak will retire with some type of injury settlement since he's clearly not the same since the ankle injury.

He's on the hook for that regardless, but he would cut him because of the savings of 140 million if he wasn't performing. If you kept him you would be paying 200 million vs 60 million.

Actually I may have spoken too soon, in March 2025 it looks like his 2026 salary becomes guaranteed. So likely looking more like 2027.

Not going to happen.

• $129M guaranteed at signing (signing bonus + 2024 salary + 2025 salary)
• $40M 2026 salary fully guarantees March 16, 2025 (injury guaranteed at signing)
• $45M 2027 salary fully guarantees the 5th league day of 2026 (injury guaranteed at signing)
• $17M of 2028 salary fully guarantees the 5th league day of 2027 (injury guaranteed at signing)
• Full No Trade Clause
• No Tag Clause
• 2029-2032 years automatically void 23 days prior to the 2031 league year
• $87.1M of 2024-2027 compensation is insured

Per Spotrac.

It's not pretty in regards to a cut. Cause he has guaranteed salary till 2028. 2027 is the last huge year. And the guarantees for a year are guaranteed a year prior.
And I doubt the team will sour on him next year, and restructure his 89.8mil cap hit, making the dead cap greater in any removal from the team.

For Jerry, Dakota will never be the blame for our downfall.

Jerry almost never admits mistakes so it's a moot point

What's the earliest we can get fans who are casual fans who think that quarterbacks still our issue out of here??????!!

they have to have their own separate little playground in here and keep making up that post as if he's the one that's the problem what's the earliest we can get those fans out of here and then only allow the ones in here that understand the game of football is inside out ??

and that should start a post what's the earliest our GM will wake up and actually see the need to actually build a team around his star quarterback and yes top 10 easy star quarterback in the NFL and everybody wants them gone you guys are absolutely clueless and delusional if you keep thinking like Tony Romo that he's the issue he's not the issue the issue is everything else you saw in that game the offensive line is bad the run game is inconsistent you got guys on easy plays like playing volleyball with a pass that should have been pitching catch and he can't even catch it he takes him three tries to catch it we got guys that can't get open we have a coaching staff that can't even scheme their players into better situations I've never seen so many route trees ran in the same area at the same depth over and over it's like we have a high school offense and you keep thinking it's the quarterback ??!!


I mean you can't block and you can't run and your quarterbacks getting beat up like in 2020 I mean isn't that the narrative from the offseason historically bad offseason we don't put enough talent here and then we have attrition with all the injuries especially on the defensive side of football this is a team game it is a big systemic team problem it starts with the front office the GM, when's the earliest we can get this coaching staff gone?

Seriously Prescott as a rookie won 13 games he was rookie of the year played really well in the Green Bay playoff game was that his fault they lost the game or was that once again the defense couldn't stop Aaron Rodgers?

Then in 2020 this man gets broken because of a bad team around him and a lot of injuries especially on the offensive line he gets his ankles snapped off but did he hold out no he was playing under the franchise tag he wasn't one of those selfish players everyone keeps saying he is he showed up for training camp including this year he's been showing up he's the leaders on this team and then he gets paid and then immediately puts up a 37 touchdown in 10 interception year in 2021... In 2022 it only hurts his calf then he breaks his hand and we have Cooper rush enter and not play well at all but everyone here says he's playing well but he did not go look at the stats the man had five touchdowns in five games he had three interceptions in five games he had a 50 set completion percentage in five days the man had a great team playing around him making sure he didn't lose.. When can we get that back? I mean can we get that back soon like a strong running game and a good defense 'cause we haven't had one of those in like 3 years a defense that played well in big games against better teams..

But guess what it's obvious who the better quarterback was because if you were really watching and you weren't a hater our team went from the bottom 10 in offense right back into the top five literally was putting up over 30 points a game when Prescott reentered in 2022 but all people can remember is some of the interceptions which by the way are very similar to this year I mean half of them were not his fault they were hitting people in the hands guys are running the wrong routes I mean if you keep blaming the quarterback we need to know how soon you all can get up outta here we don't want you as a fan base and yeah like the guy started that ridiculous post about us saying go find another team I'm saying it think the quarterback is the problem here you need to go find another team..

And this man instead of getting a new contract early to save the team money which is the MO for this GM he waits to the last minute to sign lamb and then sign Dak,. If he had signed them earlier he could have went out and got a better running back and some other players to at least make this team better isn't that what the three month narrative I had to sit and listen to the Whiting and crying by a bunch of the same of you in here and now with all the injuries added to the fact that we have lack of talent you're blaming the quarterback we're back to blaming the quarterback did you watch that game the man turn the ball over which is why what we were saying why we were losing games right no fumbles no interceptions he got beat up they said he needed to run more so he comes out and he runs more and we still have all these posts blaming the quarterback when it's obviously we're losing in the trenches we're losing on defense we're losing cause of our coaching staff and you think quarterback issue you're trying to g....e team around him is full of nonsense..

But that's odd that lamb had to hold out but our man showed up Prescott showed up and he was in practice he was in training camp he literally was like risking himself and his contract and yet that's all you guys can do is come in here and hate on the man this is not a Prescott issue right now it's a fan base issue because they're blind to the facts you have to have a better team in order to produce better especially on offense you can't be one-dimensional you have to have a defense that keeps scores low you can't have defenses having guys wide open for touchdowns that's right 21 easy points wouldn't it be nice if Prescott had guys running free and wide open all game like literally all game especially in the big moments on 3rd down and in goal to go teams have wide open guys against this defense...


Here we are trying to figure out when to get rid of Prescott when 70% of the world the media and the fan base said Jerry was stupid for not signing him early and now you want to get rid of him you guys are blind casual fans who are not really seeing the reality you talked about it all season all we have is Prescott with two rookies on the offensive line now Martin just fell off a Cliff he's playing like crap I mean total crap hey Cortana give a pass to Terence Steele and we're trying to bring guyton along instead of blaming the coaches for not doing what they did today guyton went out injured they should've shuffled the offensive line they needed to be playing with Tyler Smith at left tackle Bassett left guard Cooper at center and yes Martin would have had to stay and then you move Guyton right tackle why don't we do that why don't we try to make this better and then the fact that they have games where they took Rico out and tried to run zeke tried to run Vaughn and the whole time they should have made Rico Kareem hunt you just hand him the ball 20 * a game and see what you can do we had the guy on the team that shou.... our number one guy and all year long to play well.


go ahead that makes you feel better keep focusing on blaming the quarterback for all our issues.... somehow jerry brainwashed you guys since the start of the season the entire narrative shifted to blame DAK!!!!,

 

[blueblood70]

clueless if you're still believing that MM stayed here because of his contract he stayed here because the last three years36 wins 2 division titles and 3 straight payoff appearences ..literally a 2nd seed home game last year Jerry does NOT care about that $$$$ hes afraid of change he literally fired Nolan after one year wade in the middle of the season etc etc its not the $$$

you guys just make up narratives and try and spread it around and try to make it the truth...its not even close hes likes MM didn't want DQ to go either and more afraid of change and begin wrong and starting over at OC and HC but he believed in MM because of his last 3 years...absolute not 1% about money.

I mean worst coaches were brought back last year far worse records than MM..far worse not even close its just how it works..

Exactly and if you ask him why he resigned Dak you are going to get the ultimate used car salesman speak.

Jerry has to let everyone know he is the smartest man in football so extending Dak was a stroke of genius but us mere mortals just can'.t see it!.

He wants a ring more than anything else.
Hire a general manager and get the bullseye off your back Jerry.
