00:05 For those that are not familiar with Dak's deal,
00:07 he is going to be making a ton of money this year.
00:12 Well, his dead cap hit would be $61 million.
00:16 Basically what he's making.
00:17 But Dak is not under contract after this coming season.
00:22 So Dallas has to decide, do they lose him for nothing,
00:26 sign him, or trade him, and eat a $60 million cap hit?
00:31 I understand that eating a $60 million dead cap hit
00:35 sounds very bad.
00:37 But is it worse than locking yourself
00:40 into $300 million more of this guy
00:42 that you don't believe can get it done?
00:45 I wonder if it is almost that McCarthy and Dak are
00:48 a package deal, and Jerry is saying,
00:51 this gets one more chance.
00:52 And I don't care.
00:53 I'll lose Dak for nothing.
00:54 I'm Jerry "Damn" Jones, and I'll find a quarterback
00:56 if that's what it takes.
00:57 Because Dak Prescott, after the loss,
01:00 said if McCarthy's on the hot seat, I am too.
01:02 Hey, guess what?
01:03 You are, pal.
01:04 OK?
01:05 It's just a lot easier to get rid of McCarthy
01:07 than it is to get rid of Dak Prescott.
01:09 That is the only justification that I could possibly find,
01:12 is that Jerry feels McCarthy plus Dak gets one more year.
01:16 And if it doesn't work, I will figure it out next year.
01:20 Both of these guys will be gone.
01:21 Right, from an offensive perspective.
01:23 But what do you do in terms of the defensive challenges
01:26 that they have?
01:26 How do they address the draft knowing that you potentially
01:30 have a lame duck coach?
01:31 Like, this defense got ripped.
01:33 I mean, they were down 27 to nothing.
01:36 There were guys wide open.
01:38 I mean, Musgrave was wide open.
01:40 Guys not even covering, like not even prepared.
01:43 And if Dan Quinn does take another job,
01:46 now you have another question mark.
01:48 It's potentially another scheme.
01:51 There's the opportunity to start next year
01:54 very slow from a defensive perspective.
01:57 And we know that Michael Parsons loves Dan Quinn.
01:59 So what does that mean in terms of his game?
02:02 He gets mentioned in Defensive Player of the Year every time.
02:04 Where was he?
02:05 Non-existent last week.
02:07 Not a game changer.
02:08 So there are so many question marks
02:10 on the defensive side of the ball that, to me, Dak
02:14 and McCarthy could be there.
02:15 But that's not going to fix anything
02:16 on the other side of the football, guys.
02:18 It does feel like, though, this could be one last ride.
02:21 You say, well, hold on.
02:22 Dak's young in quarterback age for the NFL.
02:25 Michael Parsons is really good.
02:26 CD Lamb, you have the core of a football team that
02:28 can be there for a long time.
02:29 But we have to include a salary cap.
02:31 What's Dak's next contract going to be?
02:34 Oh, he's going to take a discount?
02:35 Oh, you know what?
02:35 I made 60.
02:36 Let me go down to 35.
02:37 Nope, he's going to want 70.
02:39 And how about CD Lamb?
02:40 Maybe the best wide receiver in football.
02:42 You can make an argument for him.
02:43 What's he going to give him, a hometown discount?
02:45 Nope.
02:45 And then how about this?
02:46 Pass rushers ringing the bell like Bosa?
02:48 You know who's going to do that next year?
02:50 It's Michael Parsons.
02:51 How do you afford all of those guys?
02:52 So I do think it's one of those things, like, you know what?
02:54 Let's go one more year with this.
02:56 If it doesn't work, head coach is gone.
02:58 We've got to make a decision on Dak.
02:59 Do we want to tag Michael Parsons?
03:01 And can we afford CD Lamb and still
03:02 have a restable football team?
