They should/will pay Lamb. They will probably pay mouthy Micah. If they think DP is their guy??? they should go ahead and pay him. Get it over with. However, if they have doubts (which are well founded IMO), then there are very few good options. They gave him a NO TRADE clause in that desperate, "paint yourself into a corner" last deal. To be fair to the FO, they did offer him a very good contract earlier on, which greedy DP rejected. Then they caved last minute.

So, if I am reading it right, DP has to OK a trade first. Another author here, R Paolinelli, mentioned a trade of DP scenario during the draft. Trading up to pick best available QB. That would be a bomb shell, and I wouldn't mind one bit. Yeah, it's a pretty big risk but a risk that may pay off. But the chances are slim to none and slim is out of town. Would be wild splash, if it happened.

When you look at the condition of the team right now, with so many key starting/rotational players jumping ship (results from certain players getting bigger pieces of the pie), maybe time to do a rebuild. Tom Brady had the right idea to get to the bigger games (which worked very well). He took less out of the pie so there was more money to bring IN quality players.

Cowboys seem to thrive on drama/procrastination, but it seems to work. Jerry is a billionaire, so he has to be doing some things right. First and foremost, was buying the Cowboys, who have an aura and a mystic that carries on even through decades of not being able to get to a BIG game. He is blessed with a patient, VERY LOYAL fanbase.
