If they ate that dead cap hit, it could potentially set up for the funniest thing in NFL history.

Because if they cut Dak, then trade a bunch of assets to go get Shedeur, and eat the dead cap hit on top, there is almost no chance of them putting a competitive team on the field in 2025.

What does Jerry then do in the lead up to the 2026 Draft when he's sitting there with the #1 pick, Arch Manning enters the draft, and he has to make the call between keeping Deion and Shedeur or dumping both of them to get Arch.

To get Sanders they likely need to give a 2026 1st.

Oh, it just hit me that odds are, they'd be giving up that 2026 1st to move up to get Shedeur, which would take the above scenario off the table.

Darn... because that would have been funny

lol nice timing, yea, dreams ruined.

Although, part of me wonders if they actually would bother trading up or just have Shedeur refuse to talk to any teams pre-draft and threaten to not sign with them and sit out the year.

Because if they do that, I'm not sure any team would bother risking a wasted pick by taking him, he'd just fall to them at 12 anyways.  In a questionable QB draft to begin with, is any team really going to throw away a Top 10 pick by taking a guy they couldn't meet with pre-draft and is saying he won't sign with anyone other than the Cowboys anyways?

The Deion fiasco would be more about headlines and staying media relevant than winning games.  It sucks for the fans but it’s also how he made the Cowboys into the most valuable sports franchise in the world. 

I just googled it and yes, the Cowboys are still currently the most valuable team in the world, and by a decent amount, they're worth $10.1 Billion while #2 is the Warriors at $8.8 Billion.

Also seeing the list, how the fug are the Rams the 3rd most valuable sports team in the world?

I get why the Cowboys got there in the 90's, but I'm shocked they're still #1 on that list, they seem less relevant than ever.

If you watch much ESPN and NFL network, you would think they spend 25% of coverage on one team--Dallas.  Even during the draft, Jerry takes the full time on the clock when nobody is on the phones.  He sets up his draft room like some dictator's banquet hall.  He does stuff to get his team on TV--in other words.  Now, Deion put Colorado on the map and he dominated the headlines in college football for a team in the top 20--barely.  He is not a great coach; he recruited through the portal and talked 25 players or so to transfer. 

For Jerry, it is not about the game of football; it is about the show of football.  Yes, he'd like to win, but his ego gets in the way. 

If he lucks out and this move is successful, he looks like a genius--if it fails, he blames his coach.  I think Jones would do this--

      Ranked Panthers as the Best this year!!

      By frankw · Posted

      If you're looking for a pat on the back it sounds good in theory until you realize they also had the 2023 Panthers as the top draft class.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      Going into the 2003 and 2015 seasons we were supposed to be the joke of the league each time. In 2003, John Fox was supposed to still be in rebuild mode. We had a guy named Peppers on the defensive line who was supposed to be pretty good. We had Rodney Peete as our starting QB and a line that was a lot of hope and not much experience. Our new running back was a guy the Redskins, errrr Commanders, had jettisoned for being too old. We had a good kicker and writers thought that was needed because there were going to be more field goals than touch downs. Heck, it looked like they were right up until just before halftime of that first game when we had to yank Rodney Peete and put in some Cajun duded whose name couldn't be pronounced. And Steve Smith? He wasn't Smitty yet. Moose Muhammad, well, he was close to being written off as a bust. You know how that turned out. And then in 2015, we had Cam Newton, who was electrifying to watch but hadn't really won anything yet. There was an offensive line in front of him that looked like it was made in a defunct Swiss cheese factory and our big hope on offense was the great Kelvin Benjamin. And then he got taken out for the year with a knee injury in training camp. Ted "Feet of Lightning, Hands of Stone" Ginn became our default go to guy beside our next best hope, yeah, Devin Funchess. Our defense was pretty good, a scrappy bunch with frikkin' awesome linebacker play and a cornerback who had done more than drank the Kool-Aid, but had snorted the powder. He played like a superhero and became sort of a bat-man during the season. By the Super Bowl he had completely lost his freaking mind, though, and managed to talk his way out of a contract with the team next year. No one was expecting us to win the NFCSouth that season, much less almost go undefeated and into the Super Bowl. So, 2026? Who knows? But our best seasons came when no one had a reason to believe in us, except us.
