iknowcool Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 I don't see how a trade is a realistic possibility unless the Cowboys plan on taking well below Prescott's value. Who would the buyers be? Bears: what could they reasonably offer? They don't have a 1st or 3rd round pick. I'm not sure what their salary cap situation looks like, but trading away more picks + signing Prescott to a huge deal seems like a recipe for disaster down the road. Bengals: Joe Burrow Broncos: I could see it Jaguars: I could see it Dolphins: I could see it So really 3 teams as of right now that have the capital and need at the position. However there's just so many QBs who could be up for grabs this offseason that would likely be cheaper than Prescott that I couldn't see any of those teams trading what it would take to get Prescott vs pursuing those guys. Newton, Carr, Stafford (not sure how strong the rumors are though), and Winston could all be available this offseason. Stafford's the most expensive contract out of that bunch, but I'd take him over Prescott (short-term anyway). Rivers, Mariota, and Dalton will be available too. Cowboys really don't have a choice but to sign Prescott. Sure, they could tag him, but it would only be delaying the inevitable. At least if you sign him now, he'll be what, a top-paid QB for 2-3 years? Then like most contracts it'll begin to normalize. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkippyX Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 I think they absolutely should trade him. They got tremendous value out of him for 4 years as a #5-15 range starter (depending on the year) They can never again get value from him if he needs 35+ million a year. He's not Mahomes or Watson. He will never be Mahomes or Watson. Because the Eagles took a risk on Wentz and the Rams took one on Goff does not mean Dallas has to take that risk on Dak. As an Eagles fan... Give him 40 a year please! BTW, the Cowboys have all the choices in the world with Brady, Rivers, Tannehill, Mariota, Bridgewater all possible free agents and guys like Dalton, Hill, and Foles possible trade targets. If Dallas sees Dak as just a good starter on a talented team then its an easy decision for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danger Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 If he is traded, he's not going to command a King's ransom on top needing to be paid a King's ransom. He'd get a 1st and change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone will be dumb enough to pay him $37+ per year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkippyX Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 I like how Barnwell just gave every free agent a huge raise to go to Indy because they have cap space. That’s not how this works... unless you are the Jets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF TRADED there is Zero doubt in my mind his Agent is telling any and all potential suitors, It will cost you X amount of dollars (More then Dallas) or He Will sit out 10 games for you too IF TAGGED? You've been Warned! Dallas has absolutely no trade value for Dak unless Dak mutually agrees he wants to move to said Franchise. It's a Dallas or Jerry Pipe Dream. No one is paying $35M plus Multiple high picks for Dak Prescott. Now if the cost was a Brock Osweiler type scenario or a box of Juicy Fruits a Trade is possible. 2 hours ago, BStanRamFan said: Frank Clark got a 1st and 2nd last year. 0% chance a 26 year old QB only gets a 1st and some change.

I'm sure that's what Jerry would jump all over but Dak holds ALL THE LEVERAGE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem with your scenario is If they Tag Dak there is several outcomes none of which Benefit the 2020 Dallas Cowboys "Plus" Compensation. Dallas Tags Dak 1) He doesn't sign the Tag but decides to Sit 10 weeks ala Vincent Jackson with SD, reports week 12 and STILL makes $10M or 5X his 2019 Salary the final 6 gms while getting his accured season. 2) Doesn't sign the Tag, Dallas decides to sign say Brady instead, they retrack the Tag making Dak a FA , get nothing in return! 3) Dak signs said Tag immediately making option 2 obsolete but decides to take the Option A route as well ala Trent Williams instead. Maybe even smarter the Jalen Ramsey route with BS excuse after excuse after excuse collecting checks! 4) Dak doesn't sign the Tag, meaning he's not under contract there for No trade can be made without an extension agreed upon in advance! Thus controlling said Destination and the crap compensation Dallas gets in return. Dallas has no leverage of any kind in Trade Demands without Daks approval!

PhillyTiger Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 If they do seriously entertain trading him they better be getting Brady or Rivers, for their sake. Jones/Cooper, Elliot, DLAW, and their entire offensive line are in/just starting their prime. No time to bank on developing a rookie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was never Special as a Viking but has become a media and fan darling since coming back from the horrific injury. I get he helped win 5 gms as a Saint last year but hell so did Fitz as a Dolphin. I just dont see why he is the supposed "fix it all" QB for every QB needy team in the NFL? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan_W Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 I thought he was supposed to be pretty good when he was a Viking. rookie QBs don't usually come out the other side after getting sacked 3 times every game for the whole season. I thought he'd be even more impressive with a Dallas oline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dll2000 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Someone post that they want their team to give up a first round pick+ and pay 37m+ a year for Dak. Seems a lot of people think there are teams willing to do it and/or their fans would want that. Easy to speak for someone else. Someone say that’s what they would want for their team. I’m a Bears fan. I pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
