Would you want Dak resigned at Discount rate or let him walk/trade?

[Gambit]

If Dak is released, he has a $60 million cap hit whether we keep him or release him.
Therefore, the Cowboys want to sign him to an extension to prevent that big of a hit.
Going into the Playoffs, it was almost guaranteed that he was going to get Top of the Market salary.
Now, with his disastrous performance, there is no way the Cowboys can justify paying him that nor any where near the $50 million range.
His last contract averaged $40 million a year. In those 4 years he has 1 playoff Wild Card win.
So, do you let Dak play his last year and absorb the $60 million cap hit?
Give him an a $50 Million+ extension?
Would you like him to resign but only on a sub $50 million deal?
Dak doesn't have much leverage for a trade because no team can justify to their fanbase giving Dak a premium deal.
But the Cowboys don't have much leverage either given the Cap hit.
The Cowboys fanbase will be irate if he gives Dak a premium deal which would hamper the team for the next few years.

All valid points allow me to add another.

In my opinion you can not pay Dak and then pay Micah and CeeDee or Bland

There just isn't enough pie to go around.

So if team wants Dak, trade 2 of the other 3.

If you want the others cut bait with Dak.

 

[jgboys1]

Yes he will in those exact words just with a lot of stuttering

Do not forget the lip smacking and the slurring.

Dak will never win a championship. If the goal is to win the Super-Bowl, the team needs to find a QB capable of doing so, even if it means a rough period until it finds one. If Dak stays, I guarantee we'll be in the same spot a year from now.

A rough period could be a decade or more. Some of you think QBs capable of winning SB’s grow on trees. We don’t have a team capable of winning a Super Bowl. Our biggest problem isn’t at QB.

 

[Ranching]

I support the crap out of that loser. I'd hate to see him go. I like winning nothing year after year. Let's keep him.

Careful you're gonna piss off Pappy!!

 

[Eddie]

What's the point in bringing him back ??? Same old thing for another decade???

 

[Praxit]

Geesh.....guys, Dak is going no where.

He's going to do Brady friendly team deal. That way they keep Cooks, CD, Gilly..etc..

 

[MyFairLady]

Pretty hard to feel good about him ever starting another playoff game. Offer him 30 million per year and bring back the 2016 playbook is IMHO the only option for keeping him. If he doesn't want to run it anymore in a send him packing.

Would love for him to waive his no trade clause and for us to trade him.
I know it would be a big cap hit, but it needs to be done.
For his good and the good of the team.

I would cut Dak seven days a week and twice on Sundays!

I'd let him play out this year. Reevaluate next offseason. But I'm not sure if that's even possible under the cap. 60M would be a tough cap hit to absorb.

 

[nate dizzle]

No trade clause.

Tell him he is riding pine no matter what or we can work with him to send him somewhere else.

 

[nobody]

The smart thing to do is to rip that bandaid off asap with a post June 1 cut. Yeah, the 25 million cap hit hurts, but that's on Jerry and Stephen. Time to move on for the good of the team.

A rough period could be a decade or more. Some of you think QBs capable of winning SB’s grow on trees. We don’t have a team capable of winning a Super Bowl. Our biggest problem isn’t at QB.

I agree that quality QB's are difficult to find. I disagree that Dak isn't the biggest problem. He single handedly gifted the game to Green Bay, and it was over by halftime. This is nothing new, as he has consistently played poorly in the playoffs. He is historically bad, based on his record of playoff losses by QB's with at least 5 playoff games. This isn't one bad game. Staying with Dak makes as much sense as staying with Garrett.

 

[charron]

There isn't really a simple answer. The failure of this team goes beyond 1 player. No point in paying any non elite QB if they then fail to put enough around him including on defense. So would I pay Dak to stay, at the right price of 25 maybe 30 a year. Another big question is what would it cost to retain trey lance? Does this team have the guts to ride 1 year with Lance to see what he can do and be willing to lose games if they decide to move from Dak?

 

[Beaker42]

Time for Dak to take a hike.

 

[basel90]

Jerry will fumble this again and re-sign him for 3 more years with a lower cap hit next year and the rest extended over the next 4-5 years in dead money. I don't see Jerrry thinking out of the box and getting off his high horse and admit Dak is a mini bust in all practical purposes. The MVP talk and all that is total crap to Cowboy fans who are sick of the playoff disasters Dak has delivered.
No one is putting all the blame on Dak , but he sure is an overpriced, playoff turnover machine component on the most important position in football. But my guess is jerry will retain him while making some cosmetic changes to the staff. Have a feeling MM is also staying by the way , Jerry is this stubborn. It took jerry 30 years to put jimmy in the cowboys ring of honor.

 

[Redline360]

He's not going anywhere for awhile as long as the Jones still own the Cowboys.

But for most realistic football organizations he's likely gone at this point or getting replaced shortly.

No our biggest problem is GM, 2nd is head coach 3rd biggest problem is QB.

You’re either not a very astute football fan or just simply hate Dak if you think he single handedly lost that game. Our defense was dreadful! We allowed GB to to waltz down the field and score a TD on their opening possession. We couldn’t stop them all day! What game were you watching? They were gashing us on the ground and through the air. Dak was bad but our defense was worse.

Do you want to get back to the SB? This should be an easy answer. Get rid of the bum by whatever means necessary.
