I like Bland too, he is good outside but great inside. The Johnson kid isn't Diggs but he is a Hell of a player. Would get our D closer to where it was before Diggs went down.
if they sign dak to a new deal jones has lost it.
They are going to resign Dak, his current deal makes it impossible not too, they have no one to replace him, and will be picking in the 20s in the draft so they won't draft one
Exactly. We have to look to upgrade the o-line, LB, and Safety positions IMO. D-line can also be upgrade, but that is not critical IMO.
Lol, a skin fan need to be worried about their own QB issues.
What I don't get is why they keep targeting Gallup. He is not the same player from 3 years ago. Cooks needs those targets. Also get luepke more involved in red zone
i still can laugh at dallas fuckups asalways.
First off, I agree they likely will, but I disagree with the bolded. Moving on from Dak creates a cap problem for sure, but not as much as giving him $50M per year would and if you think he is signing here for less than that you are nuts. So while I agree with your point, I think knowing that extending him will make the cap hits even worse makes it possible to move on
I like Dak a lot but never would have extended him in the first place. To me, when someone says it's "the going rate", if I don't have what I consider "The Guy"....I'm not paying him that high a percentage of the cap space. I would take a QB in round 1 and build around him. Kenny Pickett was taken 20 overall. Brock Purdy was Mr. Irrelevant. If you want to argue that Dak is better than them, ok, but the question is, is Dak ENOUGH better than them to cover up the other $40 million per year in players you could sign if you weren't paying Dak. I say absolutely not. If he were Mahomes or Burrow or Lawrence....sure thing
Well sure, if you could guarantee me Brock Purdy I'd take him. But it's not that easy. To move on from Dak you have to be happy with a Darnold type, because you can always sign a Darnold type UFA, and then also use a draft pick and hope you hit on it.
It is extremely hard to draft a good QB. Moreover, you are not going to get a QB as good as Dak at Dak's current salary. Look at what QB's are getting now. We are in a tough situation. If we get rid of Dak, we damn sure better have a plan to upgrade. I don't have another 10 to 20 years looking for a franchise QB.
I think the Cowboys are going to keep him. But I totally disagree that it's hard to find a decent QB. There are 6 QB's projected to go in round 1 next draft. The Cowboys personal dept, led by Will McClay, have found talented players at literally every level. RB-Pollard. WR-Lamb. OL, 2 HOF on current line. DL Tank. LB Micah. DB Diggs. You will never convince me that bunch couldn't find a talented QB....if they actually drafted one
Not a decent QB. A franchise QB.
Define Franchise QB. I would like to break the nearly 30 year cycle of no Lombardi's. In today's game, you win Super Bowls with great QB's or QB's on a rookie deal that haven't been paid. Once you start stripping parts, guys don't win titles unless their name is Brady(who took discount salaries every year) or Mahomes(who took a very team friendly deal). And those are possibly the two best that ever did it. A guy like Aaron Rodgers, who was undeniably great, won one, but after he got paid and started losing parts...no shot.
