What's the earliest out of Dak's deal?

[shabazz]

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!.

And that fool actually had the chance to let Dakota play out the season in a "prove it" mode.

Dakota would have finished the season with a losing record, bad stats, and missed games from injury.

Jerry would also probably have the best draft slot we've had in years and greater ability to move up in the draft to get a Qb with years on a rookie salary .

What a blown opportunity

Yup! I was fully expecting a season like the one we are having now!

How may times are you going to go to the well with a 12-5 team that wins one playoff game during that span.

The team needed to be blown up and let Dak play out the last year of his contract but Jerry doesn't believe in taking a step back or two, just like our fans.

He just made our rebuild a 100 times more difficult now!

Jerry must secretly be an eagles fan because anyone who want's the Cowboys to fail, would be do exactly what he did!

 

[Typhus]

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.

This is truth folks, so plan your vacations accordingly, our time is now!

 

[Verdict]

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.

There is a solution to this issue. Stop paying these guys stupid money. No one forced Jerry to pay Dak. That was a monumentally bad contract.

 

[Aven8]

The Bronco’s are eating $53 million on Russell Wilson and have a better record than us with a rookie QB……

How did this guy ever strike oil?

 

[darthseinfeld]

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.

The one in 2020? Statistically he had had his two best seasons since then. The problem is right now he is showing how bad he needs a top supporting cast

 

[DallasEast]

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

 

[TwentyOne]

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

Best szenario is post June 2027. You have to eat 17 mils in 2027 and another 17 mils in 2028.

You also can cut him pre June 2027. Then you eat 34 mils in 2027

To cut him in 2027 or 2028 will be the same pre June: you have to eat 34 mils in that year you cut him. Thats because of the structure of the contract.

So potential out is 2027.

 

[CowboysRule]

If we finish with a top pick this year, which it looks like we will, we need to just draft a rookie QB. We can sit him for a year or two and then release Dak and start that guy and hope for the best.

Probably most realistically after the 2027 season. Remember that they will likely restructure the deal this next offseason (at least somewhat). It depends on how much money they want to push into the future-and thus tie themselves to more future years. The team is about to be in a long-term rebuild. The funny thing is that I was all for a major rebuild-I just did not realize the way to basically guarantee a major rebuild was to pay Dak an enormous contract. So there is a silver lining to all this!

TOP?

Choose your words better man come on be truthful we're looking for average to above average would be nice I mean if you call what's happening on the offensive line to play calling the scheming the separation rates I mean would it be nice if we had guys running wide open for three easy touchdowns? That when they need to play they know exactly who to pick on and where to go because right now that's what our defense is no matter what an offense is gonna find a way to beat us no matter how well our offense plays you're asking for perfection is what you're asking for you're saying he needs top talent and no he needs talent to perform at least do their jobs to the best of their abilities and right now that's not even happening from guys like Martin... 2/3 of our offensive line is just no.... play somebody's making a big mistake..

I think it's funny everyone thinks we need to load up our team with elite talent to make our quarterback function better but when other teams do it you just call it business as usual I mean literally they're going out and improving their team and in the offseason they get better free agents than us isn't that the old narrative around here that Jerry Jones doesn't do enough to improve he does just enough then he expects all the players and the coaches to elevate their games it's trying to win with your superstars only but all the other role players and the players that we need in supporting roles are bargain basement or rookies but now we're back to blaming Prescott saying he needs more than the average quarterback and that's absolute***** that opinion is garbage and I'm sick of hearing it the man just needs what he has on his team to perform better period that's it that's the end of the story there is no other conspiracies or fake narratives these guys are not even doing their jobs well Martin Steele guyton the other wide receivers sure occasionally they're open sure Prescott might miss a guy open because his head's down looking for his first option we don't know where that is supposed to happen but then by the time he looks back up he's being crossed from both sides...

 

[Mcsports]

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!!!!,

I like your idea of forming an exclusive chat where there's no QB bashing. It becomes so old and tired. It's pointless. It goes on and on..........
Jerry just signed the QB to a brand new contract two months ago, and some folks REALLY think that Jerry would actually cut him.........
Ain't happening.
Agreed with your post.

 

[Coogiguy03]

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

We've been eating c(R)ap for the past games of this mans season!!!!

 

[blueblood70]

If we finish with a top pick this year, which it looks like we will, we need to just draft a rookie QB. We can sit him for a year or two and then release Dak and start that guy and hope for the best.

Right, because that works out you should wait two to three years before you find out your quarterback's a bus that you just drafted?!! That's not how it works you cannot do that you need to draft the quarterback the year you need him and you need to go ahead and put him on the field they don't always workout like Green Bay don't start throwing nonsense out how guys sit for three years and it always works out it almost never works out look at all these giant busts especially at quarterback but pretty much all over can't just get a guy and hope two or three years from now he's good and then find out he's not that's the worst wasted pick than the trailer you can't do it when you're ready you go get the quarterback... Now maybe you go do one in the fourth round just like we got lucky with Prescott I mean you guys are throwing out stuff that we know doesn't work how many decades has Cleveland been looking for a quarterback has Denver been looking for a quarterback lots of other places I could sight but these places like the Browns and the Broncos and The Jets have gone out and overpaid for cornerbacks like that because they couldn't find one in the draft and you want the cowboys to find one....ho he is for a couple of years i mean?

Are you all smoking some of that hardcore stuff because y'all can't be serious I mean I don't get it I literally you think that it works out no it hardly ever works out teams have been trying some of them for five to 15 years when's the last time the bears had a good quarterback? I mean literally it almost never works out especially at quarterback you cannot draft on and wait a couple years to find out not when you just paid your quarterback guaranteed money for the next three years we have Prescott for the next three years the best thing we can do is build the best team around him and stop worrying about when he's gone what about right now we need to build a better team and yes there's money don't say that Jerry brainwashed you into thinking that these contracts he signed is keeping him from getting other guys we already know that's not true look around the league...

And this is to everyone you're not eating just the money Russell Wilson ate this would be an epic quick fail at signing a guy and then cutting him after one year that you already paid him $130 million up front I mean you already paid to me at 130 million he is not our problem he literally is not our problem the problems are resting the team this is a Jerry Jones in a front office problem that they decided to not help the the quarterback this year and they rolled with what they had last year and hope that the rookies were gonna workout wasn't that the historically bad off narrative now we're sweeping that under the rug and blaming the quarterback I'm so sick of it I mean literally be real this is not Prescott's issue that we're failing this year he is being failed by his front office and by the execution of the players around him that's a fact that is not a guess this man is being asked to do more than any other quarterback in the league that was handed money and it's on a team that was a playoff team but giving nothing to support it...

 

[Coogiguy03]

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.

not if a rookie comes in and he can't get his job back

You cannot cut a player that quickly I know that Denver did it but Denver did it in a different way and they decided to blow it all up and they started over with a new coaching staff and we still don't know if Bo Nix is gonna be a good quarterback everybody thinks you're gonna go get a quarterback and then he's gonna be good I mean have you watched the NFL I mean teams have played for decades trying to find a quarterback in the draft and when they can't what do they do they go out and get a guy like Prescott Prescott would have got this same money or more from another team in 2025 that is what this league is starved for really good quarterbacks and Prescott is still top ten and they're blaming him for all the issues we have and it's a team issue this is a talent issue this is an execution issue and that's mostly is a coaching staff issue this offense is failing because of our coaching staff...

These posts make no sense Prescott's not leaving because they gave him 130 million guarantees so his first three years here is gonna be guaranteed that means he's playing and it's not like the Cowboys are bad because we have a top ten quarterback we're bad because of our front office and our coaching staff get that text when Prescott leaves then you go get a quarterback you can't just drop quarterbacks expect them to be good I mean where have people been I mean we see teams do this all the time and then what do they do they go out and overpaid the son Watson Aaron Rodgers and Russell Wilson and then it didn't workout for them either they tried both ways they drafted several quarterbacks the bears haven't had a good quarterback ever I don't even remember the bears even McMahon was not a good quarterback so in their entire history they've been jettisoned quarterbacks this happens all around the league people cannot draft and find capable quarterbacks on a regular basis you just have to get lucky and now they wanna get rid of Prescott eat 130 million and then try to find the next guy no how about this tell Jerry build a better team you better in free agency do better when you need to make trades make better decisions we could still win with Prescott he just needs even a team to play up to their damn expectations they don't need to be elite they just need to play better no it's playing well this whole team....at 130 million to make our team worse.

Yes I said it without Prescott our team is gonna be worse bad they're not that good to be able to get rid of a top ten quarterback...

 

[Creeper]

They can get out after the 2025 season but they will eat a huge chunk of dead money. I recommend this approach rather than a post June 1 cut only because I want him off the books after 2026 so I can re-tool the roster sooner.

But they could spread the CAP hit over 2 years if they make him a post-June 1 cut.

The best approach for them I think is to force a trade if they can. At least get some draft capital in return for the CAP hit. Tell Dak he will be cut if he doesn't agree to a trade and let him find his own team. A new team might take him because they only take his salary which will be $40 million, $45 million, and $55 million. Without any pro-rated bonus on their books his new team can cut him at any time and not face a CAP hit. But it depends on how Dak plays in 2025. If he is as bad as he is this year, trade partners will be hard to find.

 

[MyFairLady]

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

I believe it is technically a fully guaranteed 3 year extension so he will be our QB for 3 more years after this one. the other option is to just eat it all and this is never going to happen.
