hire Deion.  team with #1 pick takes Shadeur.  We trade 3 #1's and 2 #2's to get him.  We trade Dak for a 4th and 5th in 2026, a 6th in 2030, new curtains, and 5 new Surface tablets to replace the 5 McCarthy is going to break watching Rush and Lance finish out this season.

Pretty sure we’d have to give draft picks to coax any team to take on dak’s contract.

I think the real answer is that he wanted it on an axis to open onto The Ballpark in Arlington.  Jerry wanted his stadium and its big glass wall to glower down on the perpetually cellar-dwelling Rangers.

Weird thought. It’s all to maximize parking. Pretty well known.

Dak's contract has a no-trade clause, so good luck Jerrah.

The only hope is that Dak wants out of Dallas

Gotta think the first poster was kidding.... Dak's not going anywhere, his cap hit to trade him would like 80m or more.  He's here for two more years minimum and most likely 3.  In fact, they're going to have to restructure him next year to get some cap savings, which was always the plan with his contract so it's not some secret.

If you're plan is to trade Dak next year, you don't understand the economics of the NFL.  These people would be better going out and firing up Madden and let the adults talk.  This is all beyond his no-trade clause.

The best they can do is to fire the entire staff and look for a young, innovative offensive mind and hope they hit on him and his staff.  Then draft BPA (depends on where you end up) and then spend in UFA to sure up some non-sexy positions -- LB, Safety, 3 CB, DT, OL, RB, Punter -- whatever they don't take in the first 100 picks.  The problem for the Cowboys is they have no depth.  This is a function of poor personnel decisions.  Will McClay gets credit for some draft picks, but if you look closely, the last 5 years has been..... meh.  Eliminate this year because too soon to judge, the last 4 years has produced several stars, but that's not much after.  We don't draft contributors much.  We're really boom or bust.

2020-- Lamb and Diggs.  Biadasz was a good pick but no longer with the team.  No one else contributed much.

2021 -- Micah and Osa.  No other real contributors on the team.  They had 11 picks.

2022 -- Ty Smith, Sam Williams (TBD), Tolbert (meh), Ferg (nice), Bland (hit), Damone Clark (meh) -- Pretty good if Sam Williams can come back and do anything and they can resign Bland.

2023 - Pretty much an all-time shitty draft.  Overshown.  That's probably it.  Maybe Asim Richards is something or good depth but we wasted every other fucking pick. 

The lack of depth and solid contributors is pretty stunning.  Yes, McClay should get credit for drafting stars like Lamb, Parson, and Diggs but it's really boom or bust with him lately.  And for the record, 2019 wasn't that great a draft either.  If you don't do shit in free agency, then frankly, you have to draft better.

Dak’s contract, with void years, is likely to extend into 2031 or so, and that’s if Jerry doesn’t give another contract after this one. It’s devastating to the team.  It is stupid and devastating.  And this injury will make it more so.

i thought earlier maybe a little sanity had arrived after last January.  New coaching staff.  Dak gone.  Trade Micah for picks and dumping some bad contracts.  Total rebuild for 25.  The team is fucked with the Dak contract as it squishes all that.  It’s a fucking fungus that cannot be overcome.  
 

they need to prep for disaster.  Dak might end up more fucked up. Draft a QB high and use that cheap contract.

I can't imagine any decent coaches, or FAs would want any part of this dumpster fire, and if Micah's smart he'll GTFO too.

Jerrah has shown his ass one too many times.

The Cowboys have never really done much in the later rounds, not in the post-Jimmy years. At least it seems that way.

I think Jerry could cement his legacy by trading Dak for Daniel Jones. As an added bonus, he could keep the corpse of Ezekiel Elliott as the starting RB.

What a stoppable force those two would be,

I don't get how you can say this isn't a disadvantage for your team. You play 9 home games every year. 9 times of potentially dealing with it versus just once for any given opponent. The Eagles, Commanders, and Giants aren't out there willingly playing home games blind.

He thinks they know the intricacies of the sunlight there and gives them an advantage. Like Heinz Field’s shitty turf, where they know what cleats to wear and have kickers used to it.

The owners should dictate that he cover it for tv, player safety, and fan experience. It’s a disgrace.

The NFL should force the cowboys to play all home games at 3PM window.

[AbeFroman 2,178]

It's been 15 years.  Those who live in the area and follow the Cowboys have complained about this since day one, including the media.  

It's just now gaining national steam for some reason, I guess because of how piss-poor the Cowboys are right now so it's something else to point to.

 

But I can guarantee all of you who are just jumping on this now... That old man ain't changing shit, nada.

It wouldn't surprise me if he tore some shit down and put up more windows, just to dig his heels in.

you have a billion dollar domed stadium in which, at your home games, you should only need to consider to take the ball or defer at the coin flip.  Instead because your owner is a complete fucking idiot, your idiot coach now needs to consult a sun dial as well.

I thought it was b/c of the underground infrastructure necessary to anchor the retractable roof (I'm sure I've seen/read that before) but after a quick search this is all I found.

 

https://stadiumdb.com/news/2017/10/texas_1billion_superstadium_with_sun_blinding_players

 

So when we were laying out the stadium one thing we wanted to do was make sure the end zones were completely open. It was one of the keys to making sure the stadium did something that no other stadium has ever done before or done since. It transforms from an indoor, 80,000-seat arena to what feels like an outdoor stadium.

"That's the reason the end zones are open and the orientation is the way it is because that's the absolute best alignment to play out the final master plan and in creating the most value in the land around the stadium itself.''

 

The cherry on top is that Jerry never allows the stadjum roof open during Cowboy games b/c the roof traps in noise and he wants the "home field" advantage.  Of course, when half the crowd is pulling for the opposition...

Yes. There was a point where people who closely followed the team, and longtime fans, recognized and discussed the idiocy and now the idiocy has become so glaringly obvious that no one, anywhere, can ignore it.

In other words, the amplifier of glaring idiocy has gone well past 11 and shows no sign of stopping there.

I've been to 3 Cowboys games at the new stadium where the roof was open.  Typically only do it when the temp is between 55-75 and it's  not very windy.
