dak to browns, what would that do to our books? 

 

enough to cook?

Destroy them..... This is just a rumor to keep the Sanders to Dallas thing going.  Understand this.  They just restructured Dak's contract.  He's not going anywhere under normal circumstances or rationale people at the helm.  If he was going to be moved, it means Jerrah went cowboy and did something on his own and the first clear sign of dementia.

Dak Prescott to Cleveland Rumors: If the Cowboys trade Dak they LOSE $95m in cap space in 2025. The Cowboys currently have $33m in total cap space left. Dak has a no trade clause. The math aint mathing to this rumor.

Jerrah tried to do it with Emmitt too... go around his agent and negotiate directly with him the season Emmitt sat out.  It was resounding success as well...... Dude has been a dipshit in negotiations for 35 years.  

Why would you piss off your best player who has done nothing but ride or die for you?

Cowboys trading for QB Joe Milton and a 7 in exchange for a 5.

Not a fan of this move at all. Backup shows some good stuff in trash games, price goes up, team that has him cheap trades him. He's likely a preseason hero with little more upside. Maybe an OK backup, but I'd rather spend that 5 on a rookie, or use that pick to move up for a targeted player.

Got to agree with you. 5th round picks are quite valuable, you’ll find them starting all over the league.  My Lions got both Malcolm Rodriguez and starting OG Christian Mahogany in the 6th. 
 

The Boys have made Dak the highest paid QB in the league. So Milton will never ever even see the field in all likelihood.  Poor use of resources by GM Jones

That area of the draft is great for guards, non-edge linebackers, safeties that can often contribute early. Cowboys have immediate need holes to fill long term. The FAs they signed are mostly on one year deals, or short deals. The best news about Milton is that he's under contract through 2027 at 1 million-ish. He may be a replacement for Will Grier as a backup, so they could still potentially take a flier on a young developmental qb late in the he draft. I really just don't like how they have dealt away mid round picks that could have more long term upgrade potential than what they got in return.

Guys they were definitely drafting a QB this year.  Probably in the 5th. Milton is better prospect than anyone they could have gotten on Day 3 in the draft at QB, AND they got a 7th thrown in for their patented "Priority RFA" they love so much.

He's going to cost just over 3 million, TOTAL, over the next 3 years.  By year 3 you'll know if he's legit or not and will definitely play a ton with Dak's injuries most likely. He's 25.  Still a really young QB prospect.

This is nothing but a win...like what?  I'd much rathe this than a 5th or later on Ewers, Howard, or Gabriel.

The guy that's missed 15 games the last 3 seasons...Like I'm THE Dak guy and even I know they gotta have a guy you want to play backing him up.

We'll see what Milton has...he'll get chances for sure.

Fuck, I’m agreeing with Drew. I need a drink, or a bong rip. I don’t know which.

 

I agree with Drew though. Now Dallas doesn’t have to reach for a QB. If one they REALLY like falls, then they can draft him, if not they can focus elsewhere.

I know it's tough to do for you. But honestly, I don't see how anyone is hating on the ONE really good move they've made this offseason.

This is the correct answer.  Also, a 5th might be the difference when needing to make a trade up or down in the draft.  Jerry is the worst GM in the history of all professional sports.

Disagree comepletely....they had three 5th rounders, and they gave up one of their two very late comp picks, and got a better QB prospect than anyone else they'd get on day 3 and picked up a 7th for them to throw at some priority FA.

 

I know the default is to hate everything the cowboys do, and other than the coaching staff, i've been very unimpressed with the offseason so far, but THIS was an actual GOOD move.  I really don't get ya'll even debating this.  

A 3rd or 4th(which they don't have) or even their early 5th, maybe...but not for a comp pick.

No, its not the default to hate everything the Cowboys do.  I would love for them to sign a legit free agent to help them in areas of need.  They don't do that.  They already traded away a 4th round pick for Trey Lance and then paid him $5.7 million to be the third string QB.  I would much rather take a chance on a decent QB falling to the 5th round.  Yes, they had three picks in the 5th round.  5th round picks contribute quite a bit in the NFL these days.  My point is that they may need that pick when the draft comes around if they decide to move up or down in the draft. Just because its a compensation pick doesn't make the pick less valuable.

I just don't think the Patriots trade a qb for that low a price if they think he can have starting potential, regardless of how much they believe in their young starter because they have Dobbs as a backup. I think he's likely a tools guy that has a limited ceiling as probably a backup, but lacks the vision and processor speed to be much more. 

If you have a qb you believe has a high ceiling for a mil a year, you keep him. Things happen in the NFL. You don't fuck around at qb if you really think you have a jewel in the rough. The Patriots marketed the shit out of him and got something for what they think was not much of a loss.

They're just gutting too much of their middle round draft and ammo to move up when they keep getting sniped a pick or two ahead of their target guy.

Correct. I am a reasonable fan with no expectations or much hope for a big jump above mediocrity. I'm neither a hater or a polyanna cheerleader. I like a lot of what  they did in free agency plugging holes so they don't have to reach for drafting guys at certain positions, and  probably upgraded in some areas, definitely got some decent quality depth. I just don't like them getting too cute with the underrated areas of the draft that will hurt their chances of being able to react when a player they really covet falls down later than they thought, or the quality market at a position is really drying up ahead of them. 

If they draft another injury case or some kind of problem child with their second rounder again, or reach a round or two ahead for a player at a need position again when they didn't get their target guy, I'll start getting more depressed.

Yall act like Dallas was gonna use that 5th to draft someone of need.    We basically got Milton for a no name d tackle from the Savannah bananas that Dallas would Hve drafted in the 5th. And when Dak pulls his hamstring in week 2 Milton will come in a lead us to 6 wins like a boss

The Cowboys apparently put a much higher value on 7th round picks than 4th and 5th round picks.

The more I read about Milton's pre-draft evaluations the more pissed off I get.

You'd much rather waste a 5th on a QB in a MUCH worse QB draft than on a guy who's graded higher, and has actually played in the NFL even if was week 18?

You are getting WAY too caught up in a very late 5th round. And ignoring they got the first pick in the 7th back. They basically moved down 34 spots AND god a backup QB with amazing traits.

There literally is NO reason to hate this trade. At all.

There was not a QB outside the top 3 rounds that was going to be any better than Milton, and in most cases, probably not as highly graded.

They gave up on of the last 2 comp picks to get it...not there own 5th, AND they got the first pick in the 7th to boot.

Using 1 of 3 comp picks is NOT going to hurt them in the fucking draft.  Jesus Christ.

Also this.  At least Milton has been thought highly of, has amazing traits, and has actually played downs in the NFL, regardless of compeition.

I'm fine with the trade, but what are these assumably newly discovered amazing traits considering he was a 2024 6th round pick?  The trade is fine, but the backup QB position is way overthought by fans.  This guy or a 5th round QB pick in this draft has a 95% chance of sucking.  Experience even a little > rookie so yeah good move.  But it doesn't make them a % point better of a team.  Cooper Rush was considered one of the best backups in the league and it meant jack shit for this team.

Only thing I can figure is that Lance gets halo effect because Shanahan even considered him.  I suspect he will get cut fast.

Milton has thrown 29 passes in his short NFL career of one game played, all against backups. 

That doesn't qualify as a backup qb. It's like a preseason game. If that's the Cowboys' backup, that's a shitty situation. Maybe they're will be signing another veteran, then it makes at least a modicum of sense. Because right now Will Grier isn't looking like a great option to back up, either.

Either the Cowboys have another plan, or this move was stupid as fuck. They won't be drafting a qb, because they already have a long range prospect on the roster they gave up a pick to get. They're not likely to go into the season with 29 total passes between their second and third string qbs backing up a qb coming off a major injury and has missed a bunch of games in the last three seasons.
