April 28, 20205 yr Author Seen this question being asked a few times.... I believe we traded away a 6th for Quinn. Credit where it's due, that's a fantastic transaction. Cobb a nice 1 year deal too.

We lose a former first round pick and now highest paid db in football, and get a 3rd round pick as compensation? Is that to promote retention?

Is that to promote retention? There's some sort of formula using the value of the new contract of lost free agents relative to his position that determines the round for your compensatory pick.

Here's a link to this year and there's some more explanation in the hyperlinks depending on how deep in the weeds you want to go. https://overthecap.com/2021-compensatory-draft-picks-update-4-29-2020/ And it doesn't promote retention, IMO. If anything it promotes an active market as teams now can plan for getting something back for losing a high priced FA.
April 29, 20205 yr Cowboys are signing another corner, Daryl Worley. New defensive scheme probably prefers different types and they may be looking to use a couple of guys for trade bate.

April 30, 20205 yr What does this mean for Dez? Can the X be thrown up with a different number? 38 maybe?
April 30, 20205 yr Dez can be our 4th or 5th WR if need be. Making minimum. About what he brings to the table.

May 1, 20205 yr Author 1 hour ago, Catdaddyhorn said: Trade but not cut..... no cap savings to cut and 35 million in dead cap but I will say that Roseman does a good job of structuring deals with all sort of options and escalators which protect the organization along the way. 2 hours ago, Catdaddyhorn said: Again, devil is in the details. Yes, they can "trade", not cut, and it would need to be post June 1st and they'd have to find another team willing to take on his number (For Rodgers, maybe not that hard to imagine), but GB would still have a bigger dead cap number than savings. Probably makes more sense to trade him after 2020 and designate post June 1st whereby dead cap red Crazy to think Rodgers salary is technically 1.5 million this season (got a huge signing bonus). But yea, the takeaway is apt.... if structured correctly, these contracts don't have to kill your org for 4-5 years if they don't pan out.

May 1, 20205 yr Author 1 hour ago, Pato del Muerto said: What if they cut him? Obviously trading just makes the money someone else’s debt. Can't cut him. Before June 1st it would be almost 60 million in negative cap savings and 77 million in dead cap. After June 1st, it would be 25.5 million in negative cap and over 44 million in dead cap. Realistically, they wouldn't be able to cut him until after the 2021 season as a post-June 1st transaction.
May 1, 20205 yr And that’s the thing. If dak signs a big contract and doesn’t perform to it, nobody will be willing to trade for him and the contract. And Dallas won’t be able to cut him for years. If he does perform to it, you don’t want to trade or cut him. why should the team be taking all the risk here?
May 2, 20205 yr there’s no longer an offer on the table for dak; he will play on the tag. in 2020 it will be painfully obvious that wentz is far better, and jones will play at least as well while showing immense promise. and we will again miss the playoffs. dak won’t end up getting the money his greedy, fraudulent, worthless ass thinks he was entitled to. I have won. eat it. Edited May 2, 20205 yr by futureman

How is the team taking all the risk here? Any contract is a balance or an assessment of risk and reward or production.
May 3, 20205 yr Author 19 minutes ago, Don Johnson said: Really like this signing. Hopefully he never has to play other than V formation, but a quality QB and supposedly a really solid guy who starts the 2nd stage of his career which will, I would think, propel him into coaching.
May 3, 20205 yr In before idiots say “cowboys finally have a good starter QB” or “better than Dak”. This is a great signing. And from FA through the Draft to this signing this just goes to show you the mentality of this group has changed. Finally a guy you don’t have to worry about if Dak gets hurt.
May 3, 20205 yr Author Also...... if he has to play, let's hope it's at home. Gotta think Rush is probably gone and DiNucci to the PS, unless Cooper balls out with little to no preseason.
May 3, 20205 yr finally a proven starter at qb, a true #1. better than fucking dak. if he gets to play this season he isn’t coming out.

Not better by any means (again, not a single person other than futureman would say that and he’s just trolling), but I like our backup qb situation as much as anyone’s in the league right now. Plus, the last time dalton had 3 good wrs (green, Marvin Jones, and Sanu) and a running game, he was a pretty decent qb. We can absolutely win games with Dalton if it comes down to it. This is not Brandon Weedon or Matt Cassell. Edited May 3, 20205 yr by youdunnf'dup
