Well... Cowboys are estimated to be 4.1 mil under the cap and Dak right now is going to make 31.4 MIL... he wants 35MIL... so that cuts 3.6MIL So that leaves 500,000 left....oh by the way, they haven't signed any of their draft picks yet... ** IF he signs, I'm sure Dak will sign a cap friendly deal this year and JUST get in under the cap... Probably.

Let's see, he's had one of the best OLines, RB, WRs in the game. Plays in one of the crappiest divisions. Wants to get paid more than Russel Wilson? (yeah, yeah, QB's just keep getting paid more and more, I get it.) If everyone LOVES Dak, I could have gotten 2 first round picks for him easily then. Then I would have picked my heir in the draft and played Andy Dalton this year. How many more games would Dak win vs. if Andy Dalton started for the Cowboys? Andy Dalton is a bus driver too (not glorified though). 1 maybe 2 more games. With Dalton they would rely on Zeke more and pound the football. It's a great debate, but Dak's gonna find out just like Jared Goff found out... When you take the majority of the money, the quality of the other positions suffer, especially offensive line. Their defense is already swiss cheese. I live in Texas and unfortunately have to listen to cowboys sports radio and watch their games. Their offense was not good in the 1st halves of games most of the time. They shut down the running game in the 2nd half and passed most of the time, padding Daks stats. Put any good bus drivers with his offense last year and they win 8 games IMO. Hell, I hope Dallas spends whatever it takes to sign Dak. Hell, give him 38MIL/yr for all I care. Hold out Dakky boy for all you can squeeze from Jerry.

The NFL has neutered the onside kick rules so now it's virtually impossible to get an onside kick. They need to change it somehow. I think a 4th and 20 would be better, but they also need to figure out the foul/first down problem.

I guess we will find out about Watson this year...

Dak is a glorified bus driver. Last year the Cowboys in most games were outplayed in the 1st half and then had to pass their way 'back into games'. Look at the Buffalo game, by the 3rd Qtr, we were 'managing' the game in a soft prevent defense allowing Dallas to move down the field and burn up clock letting Dak get his yards... That game was over early. That happened in a lot of Dallas' games last year. Dak threw ALOT of garbage yards. Now, should Dak get 35MIL, IMO NO, but he is definitely in the 30-33MIL/yr category. Also, as for Dak's last year, if I was Jerry, I'd say, you bring me a Super Bowl ring before that in the 4 years previously, then you get 45, if not then you get paid 30. Put up or shut up.

It really depends on what Mahomes wants. IF he feels he is bulletproof, a 2 year deal makes sense. BUT if he wants more security, maybe you leave a little money on the table and sign a 4-5 year deal, 80% guaranteed, 160-200MIL deal. This way, if you get a catastrophic injury, you have secured your future and your families. Who knows what he is thinking... maybe he wants multiple Super Bowls and become the GOAT+, take less money so KC can build a strong all around team. Right now, at this moment, NO, Josh is not worth Mahomes money... BUT if Buffalo goes out and wins a Super Bowl and Josh puts up good numbers (he FINALLY has a #1 WR on the roster), winner the Super Bowl raises his worth significantly. IMO, this is what Dak does not understand. If he takes Dallas to a Super Bowl win, he can demand any money he wants... BTW, look at the other side of Dallas' team. Their defense if held together with bailing wire and duct tape.

If Jerry was smart, he would have traded Dak to Miami for as many #1 picks they could get and take Tua in the draft... That would have been smart.

There isn't going to be a deal. Why would Jerry want to sign Dak right now? Uncertainty in the upcoming team cap because of COVID, only paying Dak 31MIL this year. Why get a deal now unless it is something Dallas REALLY wants. Good luck Dak.

Has anyone heard any Clowney news??? Thx

I kinda understand what Stephen A is trying to say, but I don't agree with him. I totally agree that I have no idea why Arizona hired Kingbury (dude is a tool), but at the same time I know why Carolina hired Rhule. Rhule turned around Temple, then Baylor into good programs. The dude can build good teams. If this had always been the rule, Dallas never could have hired Jimmy Johnson or Barry Switzer... which both won Super Bowls.

Why do you get the bonus draft movement only when you hire him??? EVERY YEAR that the minority HC stays there you should move up 10 picks... Can we have multiple HC's? Why not? Wouldn't we do better with 2 or 3 HC's to divvy up the workload? Like others have said, what about women or LBGTQ+ people? Those should be extra 1st round picks right? _______________________ Ok, this has been a great conversation. I think most people are in the same boat. This resolution is dumb and should not be used. I personally like the Rooney rule. If anything, it will give minority candidates practice for when they do get the job. So, one of the questions is 'why so many coaching retreads?' I think there are a number of reasons: 1) Going with people you know. - If you know someone that you have known for a while and you think they would be a good head coach, that's an easy choice. You know the person and their philosophy, their demeanor and if you can 'get along' with them. 2) Known commodity. - Look at Tom Coughlin. Personally, never liked him as a coach, BUT he won a super bowl. That dude got to the top of the mountain. He will get the benefit of the doubt multiple times. You don't think Jerry Jones took McCarthy's Superbowl win into account? His offensive philosophy? Now, ask long as you don't totally blow your first Head Coaching gig, you will probably get a second chance. 3) Schanahan, Schottenheimer, Shula (please forgive spelling)... head coaching royalty. Would a GM or owner want to take a change on a non-HC (black or white) vs. a person that has lived in coaching their whole life? Also, elevating a first time non-HC (black or white) is a HUGE HUGE gamble. They have never been an NFL head coach before. It's close to a crap shoot. As for GM's, these are front office people... NOT necessarily prior players, so I have zero information on the reason for less minority GM's.

I think all the CB2 talk was because Norman only has a 1 year deal and alot of ppl here soured on Levi Wallace last year.

I liked Tess. At least he was trying to bring some interesting takes. Honestly, Booger is such a black hole of an announcer, I don't care who you put with him, they are going down...

OK then... So, why wouldn't almost every player in college football then apply for the draft? As long as I get drafted, I'm good to go right? So now the NFL instead of looking at ~300 players (guessing) now has to look at 5,6,700 players if not more. This is shortsidedness for a *potential* handful of kids that could play at a younger age (this doesn't mean their body would hold up though). The NFL has trouble figuring out which kids will be good right now after 3 years of tape... Can you imagine an 18 year old that *seems* physically able to do it, but you have almost ZERO tape on them and they have only been at a university for 1 semester? This is sheer idiocy IMO. Do you really want to see the end of an NFL roster with a bunch of *potentials*, but can't really help out your team?

Can't wait to see how Andy Dalton does leading the Cowgirls.

No comment. Just wanted to get in before it gets locked. ?

Clowney has overestimated his value, which is sad. He should talk with Houston's GM for a contract... He just gave a 3yr/66mil contract to an OT... Oops... I guess he probably can't go back there... Never burn bridges bro...?

50% salary cap reduction! The NFL cannot let that happen. I'm sure at least half the teams couldn't even get that low with all the dead money from cancelling all their high priced contracts. The cap might go down by 5-10%, but I cannot see 50%. It would devastated most of the teams.

I think the first 4-5 weeks is going to dictate what New England does for the rest of their season. They are going to give Stidham every chance to show his still skill and win over the first 4 games. If Stidham has led them to a 3-2 or 4-1 record, they are going to keep trying to win. If Stidham has led them to a 0-4(or 5) or 1-4 record, I think Bill will try and tank the season to get the #1 pick for Trevor Lawrence. I'm sure New England has scouted him for the 2021 draft and realize how good he is.

There is no great solution to this problem of social spacing. Cause you have to worry about all of the seats around you, not just the ones beside you.

Isn't every other seat empty and then staggering the empty seat for every other row, be enough for social distancing with wearing a mask??? EX: O Occupied E Empty Seat 1 2 3 4 5 6 O E O E O E E O E O E O O E O E O E E O E O E O That way nobody is breathing down other persons back. This would create 50% capacity. So you would only have to give up 1/2 the home games.

OT IMO. I don't think we are going to be able to come to compatible terms with Dawkins... So, I would assume an OT at this spot.

I agree they are alot cheaper, but Fournette wasn't that bad of a RB, but he did produce. Other than his attitude and non-teammatedness. I guess ultimately they thought keeping him for 1 more year was worth more than any trade offer they received.
