Right Now, Tyron is the 9th highest paid LT and Frederick is the 10th paid C. The salary cap goes up every year and contracts get bigger. I just don't see an argument where getting rid of star players on team-friendly deals makes any sense. 9th-best LT and 10th-best C is probably about where they are as players right now. And that’s fine. But that could go down rather than up in another year. One good game doesn’t disprove that this OL is well past its peak. It’s probably more likely that we use our available assets to reshape the defense, but should we choose to ante up for Byron, Quinn, Maliek etc. in addition to Dak and Amari, then there simply isn’t going to be room for four 8-figure OLs in a couple years. A contingency might be nice, although our team rarely carries out the “better a year too early than a year too late” axiom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't buy the idea that we "simply can't" afford *anything* in a league where the salary cap has increased about $70M since we even signed Tyron Smith in the first place.

That said, I dont think we have a competent OL coach - and havent in a few years. 1 hour ago, matt79511 said: It’s probably more likely that we use our available assets to reshape the defense, but should we choose to ante up for Byron, Quinn, Maliek etc. in addition to Dak and Amari, then there simply isn’t going to be room for four 8-figure OLs in a couple years.

So I disagree that we cant afford them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The increase would be more than $8 million from the current cap of $188.2 million. Quarterback remains the highest-paid position in the league, with Russell Wilson earning an average annual salary of $35 million, per Over The Cap. The increase in cap will set the stage for an offseason that should welcome at least one new massive contract for a quarterback: Dallas' Dak Prescott."

Increase will be somewhere between $8.6M and $13M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has hit a slump for sure but that's because has nearly quit. With how easy it seems to get productive QBs now days I would be more inclined if that 22 was a 12 or close to the 10 range.

DaBoys Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Three 1sts for Dak? Yeah I'd take that. He's balling but with the $ savings plus having 4 first rounders this year.... I'm taking it. We can roll with a free agent like Tannehill or Winston for 1/4 of the cost, draft a QBotf and still have three firsts and loads of cap space. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would take three 1sts for just about any qb who isnt Brady, Brees, or Rodgers in their prime. Heck, I would take 4, 22 and a 2021 1st from Miami.

cowboyfanin2890 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 3 firsts would be very hard to pass up, hell even 2 firsts and their 2nd would be tough to pass up. We could draft either Burrow, Young or Okudah with the first pick then we could get a safety and DT with our other 2 firsts. Not gonna happen more than likely but still worth looking at.
