Looks like I might owe Dak an apology.

I doubt it. That's what's called damage control. I think he'll get his 4 years when all is said and done and I actually prefer it. I hate huge contracts that are also really long deals. You can regret them for a long, long time if they don't work out.

True about damage control. Long ago I've learned you have to take sports reports with a grain if not barrel of salt.

I look at the sports reports like a Bottle of vinegar and oil salad dressing once you let it sit and separate on about 10% is actual facts the rest is just vinegar to stir things up

Glad to see this. Was more than a little surprised when Dallas didn’t retain Kitna. Many seem to think Nussmeier has a bright future ahead of him and I’m one of them, but keeping Kitna would have been one of my top priorities after seeing the improvement in Dak last season.

Dak Prescott has been working out with Jon Kitna this offseason

Gulp...If Mahomes signs I think you just tell Dak that you are completing ignoring the deal. He is a generational player and already has a SB ring and could have had 2. I really, really hope Mahomes doesn't sign before 7/15 because at that point it almost doesn't matter. We may just end up with two tags and a hand shake and then go our separate ways. Would be sad to see and even sadder to lose our QB and leader, but at some point you just agree to disagree and accept that both sides need to make whatever business decision they see best...

If Maholmes signs this will be Jerry

"Maholmes? Mahomes who? I never heard of him."

If the have to use the tag again next season, it needs to be the Non-Exclusive tag. Let another team set the contract, and either match or take the draft picks. Hell, if I were running a team the non-exclusive would be my first option.

I would hate to lose Dak and go backwards at the position, but if we get to 7/15 with no deal, we take another step in that possible direction. This doesn't mean we wouldn't still be able to sign him LT after 2020, just that we get one step closer to that scenario...

I agree, but I doubt another team would pay Dak Tisswll Wilson money, so we just have to match the deal or take the 2 1st picks. IMO Dalton and 2, 1st rounders with Lawrence as a 2021 possibility is enticing.

I agree
If he doesnt sign by 7/15
He plays under the tag & we better come up with a new plan at QB the following year.
While it would still be possible to sign him long term. By the next year he will want even more than the 35 a yr. He will be wanting Mahomes type money. So better be planning on finding our next QB.

I'm sure that would make him happy.

I hate to see that happen but at least we have Dalton as insurance.

Damn I really need to proof read my posts I have no clue who Tisswll Wilson is, but I was talking about Russell Wilson.

While I agree, where it gets complicated is if a team with a lot of cap space front loads the deal. Let's say it's a 4 year $140M deal but the year one cap hit is $50M. I know they made poison pills illegal, but I think something like that would still be allowed.

No telling if we will still have Dalton next year though. He signed a one year deal.

Maybe Ms. Chaney is GnG's mysterious wife?

She has a thing for the red rocket & GnG has a thing for .......

It all depends on what happens to Dak.

 

[Godstree]

I didn't want them caving into Elliott or Law either.

I didn't mid DLaw, Zeke though, no fucking way. That contract will haunt the shit outta us for many reasons.

You can critique Dak the QB all you want but you can never question him as a man. Read his statement if you haven't already
