Dak saying, Don't blame me for the salary cap hit that you agreed to. Dak is proven to be a mistake, but I don't blame him. I blame Dallas cowboys front office.

I blame ESPN and all the race hustlers because he only got that contract because they pushed the color narrative every time you turned around it was Tony Romo got this money. People like Stephen a was pushing the race card and was messed up was he had a losing record against winning teams and no one wanted to talk about it
Mike T. keeps proving to us why he is an analyst and no longer a GM. I get it from a financial perspective but you still have Trey Lance on your roster who has yet to play a full season since he was drafted. You are better off drafting two good lineman with your 1st and 2nd round picks and leave the QB room as is for now.

They can’t do anything about Dak this year except get him to sign an extension and convert his 56MIL into a signing bonus, or what Jerry is more likely to try and do push it back through more years while trying to get him to remove his no trade/cut/franchise tag clause. Having Lance play this year while Dak rides the bench still making all that money makes no sense considering if Lance was actually that good, he would be starting for the 49ers.

"All in" means one thing only, this is Dak and Mike McCarthy's final year to get Dallas two playoff wins in a row. Championship game or bust. CeeDee and Micah are going to get paid. Can't have highest paid QB,WR,Defensive player in the NFL at the same time. You get 2 of the 3. If Dak takes Dallas to the Championship game, he and Micah will get paid. If Dak doesn't, CeeDee and Micah get paid, Dak and McCarthy are let go. Belicheck will be hired Dallas already drafted a QB in the 2024 draft, Trey Lance,4th round. Dallas drafts Offensive linemen as good or better than any team in the league. Bet their first 3 draft picks will have 2 Offensive lineman and a RB.

Unless they get rid of the salary cap they have to.

They need to just get rid of the salary cap. At this point it’s just an excuse to underpay players.

What makes these "experts" think Dallas is "close" to a Super Bowl? Because they win 12 games, most of which are against awful teams then collapse in the playoffs year after year after year dating back to Romo. Dallas will not win another Super Bowl while Jerry Jones is the owner. He's the problem. He needs the win to be about him.

I don’t understand what the giants are doing at all. They need help on the o line, need 1-2 WRs, a RB to replace Saquon, and you’re talking about another QB? They should have kept Tyrod who carved up the Eagles at the end of the season with all the same lack of help that Jones had when he was getting sacked and turning the ball over.
Why does the NFL even still have a salary cap at this point? Don’t they make more money than ever with these exclusive tv deals & skyrocketing stadium prices? Dallas didn’t go after Derrick Henry? Because they can’t afford him. What he’s looking for per year Dallas doesn’t have the cap space because they can’t do anything with Dak’s contract who rightfully doesn’t want to give up any money or his no trade/cut/franchise tag clauses since Jerry has been stupidly stubborn with paying the man.
The Cowboys need to draft a QB in the 2024 draft. Dak isn’t the guy he’s a good regular season QB but he sucks in the playoffs. The Cowboys also need to get rid of McCarthy. The Cowboys also won’t win another SB with Jerry owning the team. The Giants needs to keep Jones because he sucks and it’s 2 free easy wins a year
You don't draft a QB in the top 5 these days if youre going to sit him. I see why Dominique is frustrated lol

I could see Dallas taking advantage of the fact that QB Spencer Rattler will fall and draft him.

Since I can honestly see teams over value QBs and 6 of them go in the first round, those QBs being: 1. Caleb Williams to Chicago Bears 2. Jayden Daniels to Washington Commanders 3. Drake Maye to New England Patriots 4. JJ McCarthy to Minnesota Vikings 5. Bo Nix to Denver Broncos 6. Michael Penix Jr to Las Vegas Raiders
