  • If only I could remember where Matthew Stafford is from.

  • Oh, that's right.

  • He's from Dallas.

  • Dominique Fox Worth.

  • What do you make of this?

  • Yeah.

  • I mean, if I'm Dak, I want to get the hell out of there.

  • And it's not to suggest that the Cowboys situation is like, awful like it feels like in Houston.

  • There's some good things there, so not just go anywhere.

  • But if I feel so disrespected on behalf of Dak Prescott, he's been tremendous for this team.

  • Had big moments in the playoffs, carried them throughout the regular season, and they seemed toe give him less and less support the longer he's there.

  • The way the defense has played in the last couple season has been terrible.

  • And I think that Dax career could be much greater than it is now.

  • If he goes to another situation where they have good weapons and a better defense, Denver comes to mind.

  • Washington comes to mind is another place.

  • He can dominate that division from from Washington rather than Dallas.

  • So I think that Dac it's up to deck.

  • If he wants to come back and they give him what he wants, then Dallas should absolutely jump on it.

  • But I think that you're right bringing up Dallas.

  • I mean, bringing up Matthew Stafford.

  • I think Dallas would consider doing something like that, and it may turn out to be what's best for both parties.

  • To be clear, it would be insane for the Cowboys to not tag him and thus let him walk away for free is a free agent.

  • So the scenario we're talking about here would be if they franchise tag him and then trade him, which has happened 17 times before in the NFL, with players only once with a quarterback.

  • And that was Matt Cassel, Schefty.

  • We'll, but hold on, greeny.

  • To do that, they need a certain level of cooperation from that.

  • Scott.

  • He's got to come in and sign that franchise.

  • Dag knowing he's being traded somewhere.

  • So if they had a deal, worked out with somebody toe a place that he didn't want to go, what would be his incentive to go sign that so the same point.

  • This would have to be like voluntary on everybody's part.

  • He would he would be involved in all of this, right that for this to happen, we've seen it happen before 17 times players have been traded on the tag.

  • 15 of those went on to sign long term deals with the team they were traded to.

  • So there's sort of it's like the sign and trade that they do in the n b.

  • A.

  • I mean, this is all becoming kind of like MBA wheeling and dealing.

  • Schefty.

  • This is really an unofficial no trade tag that Dak Prescott has by getting the franchise tag.

  • If indeed the Cowboys do put that tag on him again, that would be his unofficial no trade because they could not just trade him without his consent.

  • D What do you think?

  • Green, I think guys at a crossroads this year I do.

  • I think, if I'm deck, I'm looking at the situation.

  • I'm thinking this roster needs some need some turnover.

  • You know, all the guys that we've been talking, you know, that we've been talking about over the years when it when it comes to the Dallas Cowboys, they're off injured.

  • They're getting older and Dad looking at the coaching staff, you know, Mike McCarthy hiring this boy Mike Nolan, That was a disaster.

  • Got rid of him.

  • Do you have faith in the coaching staff.

  • So if I'm dak, I'm looking at my situation like, Do I really wanna waste my prime years with the organization?

  • That seems like it doesn't have it figured out right now.

  • And like Adam, and like Schefty said, if they tag him, he doesn't have to sign a tag, right.

  • But if they don't tag him, then then they run the risk of losing him for nothing, which seems like it's the the only thing in this that seems completely impossible that they would allow that to happen.

  • So this continues to be Look, Schefty described it earlier.

  • It's a quarterback carousel, the likes of which we've literally never seen.

  • Do not omit the name Dak Prescott.

  • Thank you for watching ESPN on YouTube for live streaming sports and premium content.

If only I could remember where Matthew Stafford is from.
