At this point I don't think they have a choice but to re-sign Dak. He's not great, but in this day and age finding a QB can be tricky and he's good enough to win a title if other things around him are hitting all cylinders.

Hoping he accepts a franchise tag though for now but I have a feeling it wont even come to that. This organization loves rewarding guys.

If this team wants to go all in I'll go ahead and make my ANNUAL statement that they need to sign a playmaking Safety. They don't even need to sign a bunch of players. Just a good, playmaking Safety. Then go out and have a solid draft. That by itself puts them in contention next year.

I've heard rumblings that Dak / Agent are more than happy to wait, even if that means getting tagged. The strategy being wait until after Mahomes signs and sets the new gold standard. The price for QBs is constantly going up and Mahomes deal will be a big leap forward.

Personally I think he is better than "good enough if everything else is on all cylinders". Hey isn't a Brees or Brady, but there is a lot of room between those two. I dont think he deserves a max contract, but we'll see.

I like Dak, but if he's pushing for over $40/yr, he's getting tagged and traded.

I could find a QB for $20 mil that could miss the playoffs too.

Mahomes will get 40... Dak won't, but it will still raise the bar for QBs once again. We all talked about Dak possibly getting 30 last year and several people thought "hell no". Well, a year later, that number is probably in the mid 30's. As the tweet shows, he gets low 30's for a tag anyway.

And the tweet is a little unfair... most contenders have a QB/RB/WR combo making mega millions and eating up large chunks of the salary cap. The Cowboys issue is that we had a team that was good enough to win an NFC Championship while these guys were making peanuts and we Jason Garretted it away.

If I had to guess we tag Dak and then cut Tyron Smith after the 2020 season when he has one year left on his contract and not much dead money. That will free up some money to pay Dak out but we will need to draft and develop another tackle and could possibly move Collins to the left side.

was curious in those "big 3" numbers:

Rodgers $21.5
Jones: $0.79 (eligible for extension)
Adams: $16.5
total: $38.79mm

Garrappolo: $26.6
McKinnon: $8.5 ($4 if cut)
Goodwin: $4.9
total: $40mm

Wilson: $31
Penny: $2.9 (Carson makes less than $1mm, may get extended)
Lockett: $11.3
total: 45.2

Cousins: $31
Cook: $2
Diggs: $14.5
total: $47.4

Wentz: $18.6 (jumps to $34 in 2021)
Sanders: $1.2
Jeffrey: $15.6
total: $35.4

didn't do Saints because Brees free agent and who know what deal he may do.

For AFC, Watson and Mahomes likely both get extended, but 2020 will still be a "low" cap number. Titans will resign Tannehilll or franchise him, cap figure will be over 20

this is a dream:

Jackson: $2.6
Ingraham: $5.4
Snead: $5.3

Thanks for running those numbers.

I love the part about "the dream" at the end. Yep, we had that exact same "dream". Friggin #1 seed when those guys were rookies and we pissed away 4 years of cap glory.

We better keep drafting well and hope our regular Joe's step up. Guys like Trysten Hill need to make huge leaps.

The hilarious but also sad angle will be if JG goes over to NYG and their offense just starts clicking.

Daniel Jones isn't awful. Saquon is Saquon. Golden Tate ... I think they'll be fine on offense. Course knowing JG, Saquon would only rush in the first quarter then be a blocker the rest of the game.

Will be interesting to see.

My thought process coming into the weekend

49ers - i'm not old school enough to remember our rivalry with these guys, but I know that they would tie us for 3rd in overall super bowls with a win. Needless to say I'm definitely pulling for the AFC team this year.

Titans - they've never won a Super Bowl and it seems like this team came out of nowhere. It's an interesting story. I hope the chiefs beat them because I think the chiefs have a better chance in the super bowl, but I'd pull for the titans if they made it.
49ers already have 5 Super Bowl wins. One more and they are ahead of the Cowboys.

Steelers and Pats already have 6 wins.

49ers win and the Cowboys are in 4th place with 5 wins...

Giant fans are OK with the hire. If he succeeds, he won't be the OC for long.

Yes, right now, but if the 49ers win, the Pats, Steelers and 49ers will have 6 SBs.

Dallas has 5.

4th.

Is Chaisson (Soph, LSU, #18) declared for the draft?

6' 4", 250. Can play LB,DE or S.

Delphit from Clemson is coming out.

Can Dallas get either at 17?

We will need to replace Maliek Collins in the draft since I don't think it is possible to resign him. I would look for the Raiders to try to land him now that Marinelli is on their staff.

Some experts think Delpit will drop to us, but the cowboys seem to love passing on good safeties.

If you had Jeff Heath you'd pass on Delpit too. Duh. One of these days Heath WILL have his break through and the Jones family will laugh all the way to the bank!

Hopefully Heath was a "Garrett guy" and we can stop living this Groundhog Day of safety play.

Heard some talk the other day how Rod was a big reason we never pursued safeties or big DTs early in the draft. He always insisted he didn't need them... he was incorrect.

Glad he's gone then.

Although, I can imagine Garrett always sticking up for heath in meetings since Garrett was wrong about almost everything.

Hopefully we get Delpit or Chiasson with our first rounder. They would both fill a hole.

Chaisson is a an edge rusher. Where are you getting he is an NFL Safety?

And do you mean Delpit? He is not from Clemson.

If he goes, he goes. Love Witten, but I want as much new blood as possible here. I'd actually rather see him in NY if it means not another guy on the staff whose loyalty to Jerry is more than to the coach.
