More I think about it the best chance for the Cowboys to get Fields is if the Jaguars get the #1 pick.

Jets may just roll with Darnold another year and draft Sewell or Jamar Chase.

No chance in hell the jets pass on a qb. Darnold isnt good, didnt even look good in college. Theyd be smart to trade him.

North Jersey but I miss Cali :sadcam:
So y’all still think Dallas will draft a QB in the first round :mjlol:.


The Dak comeback redemption angle is $$$$$$ to Jerry Jones. Even if they franchise him again, it will bring more media attention to Dallas.


Dak had Romo breathing down his neck and never gave up the position. So u really think a rookie will?

Nah Trev has that "once in a generation" tag going for him thats why the Jets can move on.

No Trev and they'll try to salvage Darnold with another coach. Not saying they should but thats what they'll do imo.

Dak will refuse to play on the tag again and will be asking for too much $$$


They have failed at getting him signed the last two off-seasons. What makes you think they all a sudden will get it right this time?

If this article is true, then there is no way they franchise Dak or any otter player for that matter.


key point:
"Simple math tells us that an increased cost of franchise tags for each position will have a more egregious net impact on an overall cap number that is going to be reduced. Therefore, franchise tags will account for a larger percentage of cap space than in previous years.

For instance, quarterbacks playing under the franchise tag this season (see: Dak Prescott) accounted for 13.5 percent of the team's salary cap. Looking ahead to next year, even if the franchise tag number remains the same (which it won't), it will take up a larger percent of the cap due to the decreased cap number, making it more difficult for teams to justify tagging players.”

He will either sign a long term or be released.

Optimism emerges regarding 2021 salary cap - ProFootballTalk

The negotiations that allowed the 2020 season to proceed included a commitment that the 2021 salary cap will be no lower than $175 million per team. The upcoming negotiations (and it’s negotiated every year) regarding the 2021 salary cap could result in a number significantly higher than $175 million.

Per a league source, the possibility that stadiums will be full for the 2021 season could prompt the league to not tie the hands of teams by dropping the salary cap by more than $23 million per team, from $198.2 million. Although the 2020 season will indeed result in lower revenue than usual, the potential of a return to something normal or close to it plus the coming TV deals may result in the league keeping the cap in the range of $195 million.

Time will tell what the league chooses to do. Although a projected cap typically is shared with all owners in December, the final decision isn’t made until late February or early March, through negotiations with the NFL Players Association. By then, the league will know more about whether the vaccine is being distributed and working properly, setting the stage for coffers being restored via ticket revenue in 2021.

The losses from 2020 will still be absorbed at some point. However, most teams won’t want to tie their hands next year with a dramatically reduced cap. Pushing losses to future years also helps players by reducing the possibility of the widespread termination of veteran contracts.

But even if the cap doesn't go up, do you think they will keep Jaylon Smith and Ezekiel Elliott's contracts vs. signing Dak?

:mjpls: Hell no.

Ha. The owners are hilarious. I’ll believe this when I see it. They know the ramifications of this lost revenue this season. Also, the cap hit on getting out of those two is what?

Looking at the Giants and Football team, We need to fix this OL badly


one thing that needs to be put out there.. O lineman are not long term staples like the old days. These dudes are done QUICKLY now.

I dont know about giving them long term deals anymore. Our line is done physically except for Tyler, who is hurt, but still...

Zeke and Jaylon would be a combined cap hit of 24 million. If they cut Jaylon he would have $9.4 million in dead cap space.
