Oh ok gotcha. Looking forward if he were to exceed expectations as Dak came in and had to play for us, he's surely going to ask for some money. Not saying it has to be 20 anything, but more than a cheap deal, maybe more than what rush is getting
The Cowboys are going to resign Dak. All the NFL insiders without agendas say the Cowboys and Dak will get the deal done. Lance is a kid that the Cowboys had a high second round grade on. If Lance and Cowboys like each other after this season, I could see him being the backup in 2025 as well.
I would take my chances and maybe see what I can get as a starter somewhere else maybe???????????? If someone would take a chance, I'd listen at least, but who knows, I agree
If the above is true, what an incredibly expensive backup QB. So far we’ve given up a 4th round pick and at the moment Lance will be a $5.4 million cap hit next year and he’s never even taken a snap yet.
they are not. I think they didn't pick up his 25 option. which means he is a FA
you're right my fault, we can hope he doesn't go to another team, who knows
loooooooooooooooooooooool Jerry Jones aka "fleeceme.com!" lol
if he sucks, he should go to another team.
I am a Dak guy and I think the Cowboys should let him test free agency if the Cowboys don’t get a Super Bowl. The problem is Joneses are content to just make the playoffs and win 12 games a season. Oddly Dak has been consistently good when he is healthy and led the Cowboys to the playoffs 3 straight seasons. I get where the Joneses are coming from.
we've kind of set the bar with 12 wins, that brings them happiness, a real owner wouldn't be happy with that, but would want further success
I agree. We get blinded debating with each other about resigning Dak that we miss the bigger picture. Ultimately the way Jerry/Stephen have managed the Dak situation for years now has been horrible, and the Lance trade looks like an major L for these guys if they intend for him to be a long term backup.
I’ve turned my brain into a pretzel trying to make logical sense out of the Lance trade. It is just a bad use of a 4th round pick and reeks of a move made by an 81 year old GM with a bad trade history and 28 years without a divisional playoff win.
The only way this trade works at this point would be if Lance becomes the clear starter, they can trade him for more than they got, or he agrees to sign as a backup for a reasonable price. Options 1 and 2 seem like longshots. What would be the comp pick if Lance walks at the end of the season?
The Cowboys are Joneses legacy and business. They are very happy with the billions they bring in. Every NFL owner would want the Joneses success financially. They also have 3 Super Bowls even though that was 30 years ago.
Yes, the trade was a complete waste of time, money and draft capital. It also created zero negotiating leverage for GM Jethro.
