All this time off with Dak in recovery mode and the offseason starting early for the team. No negotiations between the two sides, no mention yet of the franchise tag being used...

If they don't tag him before the deadline, stay away because that may have been a career ending injury he received and that they are trying to conceal. Or it may be something that requires lengthy rehab and the Cowboys aren't willing to wait on.

I'd let some other team take a run at that gamble.

They really can’t hide anything team doctors can give him a physical and make sure he is good before trade goes through.

Plus he would be a FA in @Khyber53's scenario. Which means he'd have to go through all of this medical processessing before pen to paper would ever be considered.

No to DAK. You dont sign injured players on a comeback. They are never the same after that type injury.

Here is a quick list of QB's who have had season ending injuries (most more serious than Dak's):

1. Brady
2. Rodgers
3. Big Ben
4. Rivers
5. Watson
6. Brees
7. Manning

Doesn't seem like it impacted their careers.

How good is he though. 

He's not a top 5 qb.

Where do you rank him?

1. Mahomes 

2. Rodgers

3. Wilson

4. Watson

5. Brady

6. Big Ben

Through last year I probably have Rivers, Stafford, Breese, Allen,Ryan

All ahead of him in no particular order with Herbert closing fast.

 

Do you think he can win a Superbowl or is he just Romo 2.0?

I love how Brady isn't in your Top 4 QBs.

Dude has won SEVEN Super Bowls. SEVEN.

Oh there are ways to hide a lot of stuff, mainly by simply omitting things. It is always a buyer beware market. While we all know and saw the horrific injury Dak suffered, it doesn't behoove the Cowboys to go in and point out that might have a secondary injury or issue beyond what other teams know to look for.

And we've all seen cases of "x player passes the physical and joins new team" to only be followed up by "nagging injury sees player sidelined, this might be the end of the road for him." For a local example, do you remember anyone saying Cam didn't pass a team's physical before the season?

The list is longer for QBs who had season ending injuries that ended their careers. It's almost the same list as "all retired NFL QBs."

In my scenario if he doesn't get a new contract or a franchise tag, then it doesn't matter if he's a free agent because he will be unable to perform anywhere near his previous levels.

The Cowboys aren't going to let Dak go if he is anywhere near his prior level of play. He's too good of a QB to release into the market. Dak, if able to play like he was before the injury, is the kind of player who can take a franchise to the Super Bowl. If he is still that guy, then there is no way the Cowboys don't lock him into a long-term contract.
