As long as Jerry is in charge that team will continue to be trash.

You can’t mention edge rushers without mentioning TJ Watt, that should be a crime lowkey.

as a cowboy hater, it would sadden me if they miss the playoffs. Watching them choke in January is my favorite start of year tradition !

Problem: Dak is now overvalued due to other QBs signing big deals. Solution: Cut him and move on or just let him walk. He has not proven he is entitled to an extension.

If you pay Prescott 60 million. Then you're going to pay Parsons $35 at least cuz he's going to want that same thing with CD lamb. He's wanting to be the highest paid. You can't pay all three or if you did, you're going to end up losing one or two of them within a year or so because they're going to be backloaded. That's the problem with Prescott's contract right now it's backloaded with all the money in the back end of it.

Dak is not worth 60mi. 2-5 in playoffs

Dak is Garbage. 2-5 playoff record.

Cut him. He's not worth 55 million a year.

Here's the problem. These players need to get taken down a peg or two to be able to have competition and players around you. Stop paying these QBs upwards of 50 and $60 million and give them $30 million contracts with $45 million Max. That's with incentives so they have to earn the 15 million same thing with these receivers and these defensive players that want to be highest paid 25 million with 10 million in incentives. If they're wanting $35 million a year earn the 10 million

As a eagles fan “ I’m loving this “ 😂😂😂😂😂😂

imagine saying Micah Parsons, Myles Garret and Joey Bosa are better than TJ Watt.

As a Cowboys fan, it's maddening watching this circus. They have no clue what they're doing. If I was GM, here is what I would do: - Sign CD Lamb - Shop Parsons - Start calling around the league and seeing who will give you what (Yes, shop him. He is another player that fades late in the season) - Let Dak prove it. You're the man?? Well, we haven't seen that in 8 years. Prove it this season. - Once Dak flops late in the season again, take your now 3 1st round picks and tell your scouts to go find the best QB in the draft.

casually forgetting tj watt is insane

Sign Ceedee, sign Parsons, CUT DAK!

I just love when he talked about edge rusher didn’t even mention crossby

9:32 "taking time to heal" Darren Waller new song😂

Stop paying these players more than the previous one that just got signed. This is ridiculous. The se agents are crazy. If you paid someone $30 million a week later that doesn't make the next player worth $35

Bro I cannot stand what the fuck this team is doing. We haven’t gone anywhere significant since I started watching and truly paying attention to football in the 7th grade and I’m 22 now.🤦🏾‍♂️😒 no running back of significance, cap hit hell, still have to pay Ceedee what he deserves, no bowl win since the 90s, and haven’t won the division or even gone to the championship game since 95.😒

For a multi billion dollar company Dallas makes horrible business decisions

Mike spits facts the cowboys no matter how much or a big as a fan you are we keep repeating the same god dang mistakes. Jerry needa go

*Tj Watt enters the chat*

By the way, best edge rusher in the league is TJ Watt

No you didn't leave TJ Watt outta your best edge rusher list 😭😂

Dak is not worth $60M per year unless Cowboys are just playing to win regular season games or a division title. This is not the goal. Dak simply does not have the ability to win big games in the playoffs. He doesn't know how to manage his nerves when it's win or go home. Now, he could make things really easy for Jerry by saying just give me a 4 year contract for $40M a year or $160M fully guaranteed. But you know he's not going to do that. He's not Tom Brady, who was willing to take less than market value in order to win SuperBowls. Dak doesn't care about championships because he hasn't gotten close enough to sniff one. Dak just cares about the money.

Thanks for video mike

How can Dak Prescott reset the QB market when he has never won a playoff game? Joe Burrow is the current highest paid QB because he turned the bottom feeder Bengals into playoff contenders taking them to the SB and AFC championship back to back. Dak is a regular season juggernaut but he turns into a poodle in the playoffs.

I theorized a while ago that the cowboys would tank for Sheduer Sanders. Not because it’s the best decision, but because it makes Jerry more money in the shortest timeline As a lifelong cowboys fan, I am now a Texans fan, I’ll be back when Jerry dies

I hear the same thing from "experts" about Shadeur that I heard about another kid from several years ago. Liked to run. Read defenses like they were written in braille and he was sighted. Man, what was his name again? Ravens already had a "franchise QB" but traded back into the 1st round to get him? The Baltimore bust, some experts said at the time. What is his name again? 🙄

Crazy that tj watt is getting left out of the big 3 despite consistently leading the league in sacks. Guess he needs to really work on his almost sacks this season

Keep grinding Mike!

Resign your 2 studs, trade Dak for picks, draft a QB and fill out roster. Fire McCarthy. They need a new voice and leader. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result. I understand this ain’t madden, these are just my opinions.

HAVE YOU HEARD OF TJ WATT???

It hasn’t made sense in 30 years.

Love your video Mike and keep up the great work you are awesome bro

Dallas fan since 1975, out of all the talk I’ve heard since Green Bay loss this is the best analysis I’ve seen, on any platform. You have a very analytical mind. Thank you for the synopsis.

Dam Prescott is the man out! He's not even top 10 of QBs, playoff performance anyone! No way does it make sense to make Dan the highest paid!

@Mikerophone do you have a podcast for your nfl videos for someone who wants to listen to you but can't sit and watch your videos? If not, I think it's a great idea to grow your channel/brand for people who can't watch your videos often but find you very informative

8:42 u get your a cowboys fan but don’t forget bout Tj watt

The smart way to go about this for Dallas is cut Dak and trade play when I want to Parsons for Draft capital before he isn't worth anything, which will be soon.

The way these QBs contracts are going before you know it. There'll be a 75 million 85 million and then next you know it'll be 100 million a year. This is ridiculous. You won't be able to have a team to put around them because one player gets paid more than the other even though it's a week later. So you have a QB that gets paid 60 million. Oh, even though he ain't better than the previous one, the next one signed for 65. Why pay him more than the other player?

Maybe it is a new way they testing. Play your top players until a new contract comes up, franchise tag the best you wanna keep and trade the others or let them walk. You probably had their best years, or maybe they ball out another 1-2 years somewhere else. This only works ofc if you do very well with drafts. Major problem is young players have not enough playoff XP... I guess this explains a lot, especially recent years

That’s Jerry’s world for you😂

Dak doesn't even deserve top 5 money. The dude hasn't even taken them to a championship game.

As a 9er fan....I truly hope they give Dak a new contract..60 mill a year

As a cowboy hater, this does bring a smile to my face

Alexa Play Sheduer - "Keep Grinding" 😭💀

As an eagles fan I freaking love this video 😂😂 the violin in the background 😂😂

I said at his last contract extension that Dak’s contract should be performance based where he can’t manipulate and back load any contract. I am just so done with getting hopes up only to see Dak throw it all away. I want a perfect O line just to expose how dumb his passing choices are. I know he would still throw pics, even with little pocket pressure. Until Dallas beats good teams consistently, Dak has nothing to negotiate until he beats real teams. Total BS I wouldn’t give him 100 bucks a year.

I think it's easy to say this now if you ignore the context of the situation. Remember Dallas has been in a similar situation like this before where we went all in for a Superbowl and lost in the divisional round. Dez and Tony were up for contracts.they got paid, they paid Romo early and we lost in the divisional round they and were in salary cap hell. Both Dez and Tony declined and eventually they got a young QB behind Romo by the name of Dak Prescott who then took the league by storm when Romo got hurt. I bet they're trying to do the same with Rey Lance behind Dak as that's how the past 2 Dallas Qbs got their starts. Also Dak had some serious mental and physical health concerns. His injury was a serious potentially career altering injury that basically changed his style of play. So they likely back-loaded his contract because they initially weren't going to pay him and other teams likely were scared to pay him after watching him snap his leg in 2 on national television. If Dak didn't return to MVP status which is what the Cowboys and other teams likely thought would happen given that it was a similar injury that ended Joe Theismann's career, the cap hit wouldn't have been as big if they had to cut him. Before this year, it looked like they were right because he was slower, very injury-prone, and was one of the league leaders in interceptions. People were arguing that Cooper Rush should have taken his job. I don't think anyone really anticipated him playing like an MVP and to Dak's credit he bet on himself and earned a big contract, backing Jerry into a corner

As an Eagles fan, I am actually very excited for the future for the Cowboys. You guys are really on the right path.

‘Yo! you better fucnin pay me!’

I understand bro I’m a Jets fan and can’t stand the countless questionable decisions that front office makes. 🤦‍♂️

And if Prescott doesn't want to be the highest paid player just like he said, why does he need an agent to talk this over? Take a fair amount of money. 30 million guaranteed with 15 million in incentives. If he makes the playoffs he gets so much. If he wins a playoff game he gets so much he gets to the NFC championship. He gets so much. He wins the super bowl. He gets so much plain and simple. If you make them earn the last incent apart like it should be on every contract that's signed then the player is actually going to play better because they are not going to get all the money

LOVE, LOVE the thumbnail! Go Cowboys!

Why not look at the real problem? Player wage increases vs salary cap increases. This year was a larger than usual cap increase but it has to stop somewhere.

I believe it all makes perfect sense, Jerry's signaled it when he didn't extend Dax or the Head Coach, if/when the Cowboys end their season without a playoff win, he will trade Dax and draft Shaduer and hire Deion as Coach. It makes no sense if Jerry was actually all in on Dax not to extend.

I think I’m going to do a Cowboys rebuild on Madden this evening

Here's what the Cowboys are going to do, and I know it may be hard to hear for Cowboys Fans. They are going to trade Ceedee and Parsons. They are going to follow in the footsteps of the Raiders(especially if they fire Mike McCarthy), and trade those players while they can get maximum value for them. Parsons, a team is dumb enough to trade a few first round picks and then some for him. Ceedee, a team will pay a first round pick and then some for him. And they both will immediately get lucrative contract extensions. Meanwhile Dak will get around $55Mil a year. I don't care what anyone says, you can't give up 30-50% of your cap to 3 players, and that's exactly what the Cowboys would do if they manage to resign their 3 players. And, this is coming from a Jets Fan, finding a franchise Quarterback is like trying to shoot a moving target while blindfolded. It's a crap shoot. And Prescott, whether you wanna admit it or not, but he IS a starting caliber quarterback in the NFL. You keep him until the wheels fall off

Trade Micah NOW for draft capital, why waste his talent while we are absolute trash every other position

Crazy part about it is Jerry's had a loaded roster for a good amount of time but they never seem to be able to get over that hump and hes the common denominator jason garrett was the scapegoat kellen moore was a scapegoat thats just 2 of the many scapegoats

It's frustrating that every common fan not in the business can see it. How pros running successful franchises and no one in the cowboys are paying attention is ridiculous. Humble pie for Jones family: those are Jimmy's trophys your not a gm, your not a coach, you've had 30yrs to prove it. Let's try something new

0:05 it does make sense Dude they’ve been making decisions like this for thirty years now

As a niner fan I love hearing Mike say the commanders have a better future especially after he was cleaning the niners for trading lance to them

Makes perfect sense over here

Dak Prescott doesn't seem to have any better value then Tony Romo did. Great during the regular season (mostly) and failing in the post-season.

17:12 this is why i watch your channel. You dont try to overhype the team by any means unless you truly feel it.

What do you think about Cooper Rush being the backup/starter over Trey? I'm not sure why we have forgotten about him

How is Micah versatile? He can't cover , he looked lost in the Greenbay game with Zero Pressures. Hell he isn't the best at his position. Fools Gold 😂

Cowboys front office is absolute trash, they’re absolutely horrible at managing the CAP and it’s a serious problem. The Jonses need to sit down somewhere and hire an actual GM to run this team who actually knows how to manage the CAP

I have traveled the multi-verse and I found one where the Boys are actually made good decisions. They actually drafted Tom Brady! So I think I am going to go back.

Put the team in the best situation to go ALL IN

Only thing I have to say about edge rusher is tj watt can’t believe you put those 3 ahead of him like the best defensive player in the league

0:24 Only fans of the team are able to truly crap on their team in a way that no opposing fan could even dream of. Edit: Moving on from a project QB in Trey Lance to another project QB in the draft seems like a bad idea.

Planning on that good draft pick and a reset it looks like to me. Jerry wants to tag ceedee.

Even if we make the playoffs, if we don't go deep I can see jerry letting dak go, 'tanking' in '25 and signing Bill with a rookie qb in 26. Honestly kinda hope it plays out this way, I'm cool with letting the eagles heat die down while we reset, much as I hate to admit it lol

The unfortunate cause of all this is the fact that they have to pay CeeDee lamb and Micah Parsons eventually. Dak will be gone after this year and so will Mike McCarthy. They'll be a rebuilding team within the next 1-2 years unfortunately with this situation

I actually really enjoy your content, this is coming from an Eagles’ fan. You’re level headed, Skip should take notes.

how does a notorious playoff chocker deserve 60 mil a year?!

“All in”

I dont see how this team can sign Dak unless he wins a ring this year. NFC title game is not enough and even losing in the Super Bowl is not enough at this point. If Dak will take less than 50 million per year you keep him. You MUST sign Ceedee Lamb! He is clearly a beast and deserves to get his money. Micah has a ton of sacks and you cant ignore it but Ceedee is for sure.

What are you talking about you have never seen a dead cap hit like this? Carson had a dead cap hit of 33 mil and Matt Ryan had one of 40.5 mil. Also, the Justin Jefferson contract probably helped the Cowboys because CD wanted $35 mil which is what JJ got and CD isn't better than JJ which will hurt his negotiations if he tries to get that much.

Dallas has drafted some real studs on the line. Forget about these guys, they are plug and play when linemen knock people down in front of them.

The Cowboys wouldn’t be in this situation if they would of never paid Dak so much money after he came back from injury.

Im with u on that

McCarthy been pretty solid at choking lmao typical cowboy response

13:37 after reading that article and watching first episode of ‘Coach Prime’ I wouldn’t want any sanders associated with my team. He can ride his rolls Royce off the side of the earth for all I care.

Cee Dee lamb isn’t the player Justin Jefferson, he’s not even in the top 5 as far as receivers. I wouldn’t pay him more than 25 million a year. I would trade him and sign Prescott and Parsons. It’s easier to find receivers than quarterbacks or defensive linemen.

I really hope jerry is loading the clip for next year's draft so we can go and get sheduer and prime 🙏

I think this is their last year to be in a position to make a playoff run

Cowboys fan for 45 years. Since Jerry bought the team it's been 100% masochism.

How are you even allowed to sign a player where they can play out there entire contract & you still have a $40m cap hit the year after the contract is finished? I thought cap hits were only for when you cut a player before end of contract

It did help them in the 92-93 season....EmmItt Smith held out for 2 games came back and signed with them and they won their 2nd Superbowl of the 90s....however I'm not disagreeing that Jerry should hire a legitimate GM and stop trying to figure numbers out at his age....lol....also longtime Cowboys fan here

He didn't brought in Belichick because of he is cheap (not mainly) but Bill would command more control and Jerry would say: only from my cold dead hands.

I don't think that you need to say 25m a year annually, by saying 'a year' already imply that the payment is annually.

I could totally see Jerry Jones moving on from Dak and drafting Sanders. Classic Jerry move. Jerry gets press for the Cowboys and he saves a ton of money by drafting Sanders over keeping Dak.

Jerry Jones is often called a genius. I say his GM style is more of a dog chasing a squirrel. He has had the ultimate GM power, longevity! If he was building for the future, at all during his GM tenure that he can’t get fired from, he would have a beast of a team. In stead he keeps seeing squirrels and spends his time chasing them.

Idk how dak sees this playing out honestly, i dont see any other team giving him 55-60 a yr either even if dallas moves off him, so why not just get what you can from the talented team your already on, leave money to pay others

Oh wow another cowboy video from Mike... Shocker

As much as I don't like the Cowboys, how many teams get 12 wins three years in a row. That is very hard.
