I don't agree that it will screw up the cap for the future. Contracts like Lawrence and Jaylon Smith are what screw uo the cap. Not some one year deal for 5 -10 mil with incentives.
For the record we have 24 mil in cap space right now. So I don't want to hear about a 1 year prove it deal killing then cap. That's nothing but an excuse. Talk to me about Crawfords contract killing the cap before this shit.
Now I don't know if a Snacks or Earl Thomas makes a huge difference but you can't tell me they wouldn't help.
fair points, I just don't think ET or Snacks would do that kind of contract plus jeri always takes it on the short hairs with players so cost will just be compounded in negotiations imo. Not to mention the issues that seem to come with ET
Further, I think this season is toast and would rather preserve cap for future years and get the best draft position possible and hope for a miracle going forward. It would probably be best to go 1-15 and draft a QB that wont incur the type of salary Dak will get paid. It seems to me the only chance of success in Dallas is a miraculous run during a window where the QB is still on his rookie contract. Once the QB gets paid, its pretty much over in Dallas unless of course that QB is the top 1 or 2 in the league capable of leading the team to wins with lesser talent but it doesnt appear thats the case with Dak.
At the end of the day, I dont think it will ever matter what is done here as no-one and nothing can overcome the jones stank permeating through the origination where everyone is a "star", gets paid & eschews discomfort with a big ol attaboy from the asshole who signs their checks.
It feels like we need Michael Irvin to do another "list" starting with ownership, the front office and then the players (but of course it'll never happen with the buffoon owner still sucking oxygen):
