reports are that they are close but hung up on term. Dak wants 4 years but Cowboys want less. I suspect they will settle on 3.
Oh the irony. Supposedly the hang up last time was the Cowboys wanted 5 or 6 and Dak wanted 4.

So who is to say the Cowboys are f@cking this up? It's a different approach for sure and the worst that can happen is they still won't win a SB.

They aren't necessarily... but if they don't get it done and Dak simply walks then it's a franchise changing failure because Dallas gets nothing!
Forget the no trade clause... if Dallas knew they weren't going to pony up they could have gotten Dak to agree to a trade back in the spring. They would have waived the clause if all parties agreed to negotiate the deal with another team (draft picks for Dallas and Dak signs a huge extension with new team).

I'm going to be shocked if they don't get it done. Daks dead cap next year is huge (like 40-60 mil) next year if they don't.
There will be several key hiccups when he and Dak are not on the same page. I think this offense is going to look rough in week 1 which in reality is not a big deal. The Patriots used to treat the first 4 weeks of the regular season as an extension of the preseason, using it to iron out kinks and better adjust to personnel.Enviroag02 said:

How can the cap hit be $40-$60 million in 2025 for a QB whose contract expired in 2024?
I always imagine Jerry thinking he'll be dead by the end of these contracts and not caring about thing that happens after year 3jr15aggie said:Pignorant said:jr15aggie said:

Lol... because all those "we reworked Daks contract to free up cap space" was really just dumping money into voidable contract years. In other words, we dumped cap money into '25 and '26 when the real contract expires in '24.
We did the same thing with Martin and Tank. Our cap is going to be royally screwed very soon.

I'm expecting an utterly ugly affair in Cleveland against league's stingiest D. The Cowboys actively got worse on offense this summer, so I see no way they repeat as the league's #1 scoring offense this year.
I'll go Browns 16-7.

Dallas didn't get appreciably worse on offense. Tony Pollard was an average NFL back by every possible metric last year and clearly wasn't back from his injury. Tyron Smith was still a very good pass blocker but had become an average run blocker. And Beebe already looks better than Biadisz ever did. The 8 other starting spots are all the same, and of those 8 only Martin is at the point in his career where it wouldn't be surprising if they regressed.
The only position you make a reasonable argument where we significantly downgraded was LT, but Guyton looks to be about as good as you can hope for for a rookie at that spot.
And the Browns haven't been an elite defense since November of last year. Their defensive average was helped by 4 games allowing 3 or less points over the first 9 weeks against bad offenses, but since week 10 last year including the playoff game their defensive ranks would put them 17th in points and 10th in yards last year respectively.
The Athletic polled fans to see how optimistic they are going into the season. I charted that against each team's odds to win the Super Bowl.
