I can see both sides of it, I'm just trying to figure out what the right answer is. I think there are a few players that I would give $60M to. Mahomes, Allen, Burrow and Lamar Jackson. That's it for me. Anyone else would be $40M or im looking for a draft pick. I understand the whole Franchise QB thing, but those 4 guys play the position at a completely different level IMO. I think case in point is the Cowboys the last few weeks. Cooper Rush is absolute trash at QB. We are playing with a skeleton crew, makeshift OL. But we are playing the defense and running the football and are as competitive now as we were when Dak was in the lineup and we were close to full strength and getting crushed by GB in the playoffs and N.O. both in home games
Earlier this season, Jerry threatens to have a few radio hosts fired for back talking him because they weren't "football guys". The sad part is those guys plus every guy on the Cowboys board knew Dowdle was better than Zeke before the first carry was made this season. Sad times
and the coaches knew too.
No question about it.
I wish they had not signed Dak. I was hoping for more of a rebuild.
Yep. Just like he did when he traded away those two fourth round picks. Where is Mingo?
blocking?
Nothing says team building like trading a 4th rounder for a 5th WR who's specialty is blocking
As the saying goes, you are what you eat. Squirrel brains fits Jerry perfectlyInteresting .
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones says raccoon, squirrel are among dietary preferences
Jerry Jones is one of the NFL's most outspoken owners. The Dallas Cowboys owner recently discussed a couple of animals he has enjoyed eating in the past.www.foxnews.com
50ish? No one was giving a healthy Dak $60M other than Jerry. No chance anyone gives a coming off another major injury and a crappy season Dak that much
He would have gotten $55-56 even with the injury. Tommy DeVito, Aiden O'Connell and Will Levis are all starters
That doesn't make sense. No team is happy with DeVito as their starter and a good chance none of those 3 is a starter next year and certainly not in 2 years
It didn't make sense that he would get $60M from the Cowboys either did it Bro? You thought his "sweet spot" was $52M. I am on the side that says only a few guys are worth that, but I saw several teams pay guys that aren't as good as Dak $53M+. As long as the leg checks out, someone would pony up. But you are right in that no one else would give Dak $60M but our Owner
No one but Jerry was paying that and no one would trade for him at that amount. Jerry's an idiot and in no way a barometer of what another team would do. He bid against himself and still paid a ridiculous premium. No one else is paying Dak that amount and the narrative about Dak holding all the chips was always ridiculous to everyone except maybe Jerry for god knows what reason. Regardless I'm talking about using Devito as justification for a starting QB getting a particular salary. One has nothing to do with the other. Devito is not any teams planned starter
I didn't say $60M from another team, I said $55-56. And he would have gotten that. Even a team like Pitt might have given it to him
I think you said minimum $60M from another team
Pre injury and with a other season like last, yes. Gotta remember, when I originally said $60M, he waa coming off a near MVP season for a 12 win team. We didn't know Jerry and Stephen were going to gut the team and pocket money. It sounds like they are going to do it again. They could sign Micah and still clear $100M in cap space(which im sure you now as you are very good at the cap), but Stephen is already saying ita going to be a tight squeeze, so I fully expect to lose 6-7 starters and replace them with draft picks and be even worse next season
