How long until Colorado implodes?

Deion to Big D … what could go wrong.

If that happens I’m guessing Dallas will try to trade up by dealing Dak to get Shadeur.

No smart . Will take Dak Contract!!

 

[Cusefan95]

Yep, that $60 mill or so they have to pay him each year should prove no impediment to finding a trading partner...

I'm buying the theory that this was just a move to inject the Cowboys into the conversation during the playoffs. All Sanders has proven as a coach is that he can recruit playmakers. Some of Coloarado's losses were just pitiful--kinda like Dallas' last playoff game against Green Bay.

Jets wanted Rogers because they thought they were just a QB away from a Super Bowl, and they aren't smart. Finding a trade partner is going to require finding a team that both can convince itself and its fans that all its needs is a QB, and that isn't very smart - so not smart that they'd value Prescott similarly to how a Super Bowl winning QB in Rogers was by the Jets. That's a tall ask.

The only way Prescott goes to another team is if he gets the Russell Wilson-Broncos treatment, so a team can pick him off the scrap heap for pennies. The Cowboys have walked themselves into a no-mans land with bad contracts tying their hands - and it is going to be very hard to escape from there. Any coach with options is going to avoid that place.

I think Sanders has options.

If he leaves, Colorado might see 40 guys portal at least.

That NIL will dry up really fast and I can’t imagine most of their higher quality players are there for any other reason than the Deion and NIL impact.

I think Deion to Dallas would certainly generate a ton of fan excitement but I would be shocked if it somehow magically propelled the Cowboys beyond their annual wild card/divisional round ceiling.

no way the Cowboys pay his buy out at Colorado.

Jerry Jones is an idiot so expect the unexpected.

I thought I read somewhere that is Colorado buyout is significantly less if he leaves for an NFL job.

I am so thrilled McCarthy is gone that I welcome this.

With the exception of like Bill Belichick and Andy Reid, there are very few active/recent coaches who have coaching resumes that look like this.

Jerry has way too much money so he can do lots of dumb stuff.

He knows he doesn’t have many years left so he’s desperate for a fast fix. I wouldn’t be shocked to see him buy out Deion, eat Dax’s contract and pay both Sanders a gross amount of money.

Only to lose more because the culture will still suck under Deion who will flame out by year 3

 

[SUFaninNJ]

I would love for this to happen for multiple reasons.

It's a pretty modest resume when you have the best QB in the league for many years.

Ummmmm - the screenshot is of McCarthy's resume.

 

[djorange1989]

Deion’s buyout is $8 million, Jerry will make that back in one game’s worth of beer concessions

Rodgers was the best QB in the league for several of those years

And Dak was not. But by your argument Belichick's resume is even more modest.

Really? They both had all-time great QBs. One went to a bunch of Super Bowls and won many. The other won one.
