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--

      a tip of the cap to the Special Juan

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others.

      I'm excited. I love situations like this when you could potentially find a diamond in the rough on the cheap. And you know guys like this are gonna put in the work and desire way more than others to be great.
