Full House
It's play along time as the new general manager of the Dallas Cowboys.
You find yourself with the #1 or #2 pick in next year's draft. For whatever reason your owner didn't make Dak your franchise QB and now he's suffered a potentially career diminishing injury. If you franchise tag him again next season, it'll cost you a projected $38m per year.
The projected annual salary of a rookie QB is $9m.
FYI over past 22 games the NYJ and Cowboys have same record and Dak is 6-11 as a starter his last 17 games. If you happen to be in position to draft QB Lawrence or QB Fields, it would only cost you 9m/yr for 4 years; $36m over that span. That's less than what it's gonna cost to sign Dak for just one year ($38m/yr). So $36,000,000 over four years or $152,000,000 over the same time period? That's buys a shit-ton of defensive upgrade and offensive line help.
I know what I would do.
The question is, what would you do?
p.s. you are replacing JJ as the GM and the decision is yours alone to make.
