What if Dalton ends up with a passer rating near the league lead and averages around 250 yards per game?

Do you mean what happens to Dalton, in the future, or what happens with the Cowboys? Because the Cowboys are a mess.

The tag for a QB is like $27M. No way the Cowboys risk being stuck with that, and no one anyone trades for Dalton at that price tag.

Admittedly made a couple assumptions along the way (Cowboys win a bad division) but I could see it. The bigger issue IMO will be the salary cap, if it goes down I can see both Dallas and other teams go gun shy with their willingness to spend. 

But a 2015ish season from Dalton + near the league lead in passer rating, is a lot like the year Tannehill just had. RT admittedly had an insane and unsustainable Y/A and AY/A, but he was also at less than 250 YPG. Dalton’s 2015 TD% would have him in the top 5 for last year and in the top 10 this year, just behind Jackson and Mahomes. Stats aren’t 100% indicative of play but they certainly help come contract time. Tannehill got a $29.5M AAV contract, admittedly after two huge playoff wins and it was a re-sign instead of a trade, but I can’t see there being no trade demand for Dalton if he lights it up like that.
