Of course he does. Because he knows the free agent market at QB is insane and teams who have a starting QB don't want to let them leave. He is just playing the game.

This is exactly why you keep Dak for now. People talking about trading him or outright releasing him are ding dongs. You can't just go out a grab another QB.QBs are really hard to find.
It is a bad situation, but I'd probably pay him. I bet you could get something that sounds big and good to the agent and the player, but that you can get out of in a couple of years. Something sort of like (in principle) what Tannehill signed.The giants really are in the Cowboys/Dak, Redskins/Cousins situation. Stuck between two bad choices. Let the QB walk and you have literally nothing or way way way overpay him and wreck your cap situation.

I mean he is very talented IMO and did show tremendous improvement this year. Give him another year or two away from Garrett and see what happens.
Dare I say, push some cap money into the future, spend above your means for a couple years and if doesn't work break it down and start over. That's what you need to do. The Cowboys won't though. And they will keep overpaying other players on the roster so that they can't even add talent anywhere but through the draft.That's right. The roster is too good to start over. Which is what you're doing if you move on from Dak. They can win with Dak if they get some balls and add a few more pieces. You don't start over when you're close.

Plus 10 mil of the cap 3 years from now is less than 10 mil against the cap today. It's no different than inflation. Cap goes up every year so push the money out. It's like getting an interest free loan.
I really wonder sometimes why teams don't bring in a mathematician or economics expert to run the cap. I don't believe that Stephen has any clue about how to actually take advantage of the modern day NFL salary cap.This is a huge point that doesn't get discussed enough and these jethroes are too dumb (and cheap) to comprehend.

Didn't you know he has a chemical engineering degree? He's practically a genius.I really wonder sometimes why teams don't bring in a mathematician or economics expert to run the cap. I don't believe that Stephen has any clue about how to actually take advantage of the modern day NFL salary cap.
