Making Dak play under the tag makes a ton of sense. McCarthy gets a year to evaluate him first hand. Dallas actually has a ton of leverage. They can tag and trade him, sign him long term or let him play for $37M next year. Jerry is a gambler by nature. He hit the jackpot twice in Romo and now Dak. You don't think he believes he can hit the trifecta? Plus look at the QB market. Just this year Brady, Rivers, Dalton, Bridgewater, Winston, Cam all signed for under $26M/year. Any or all those guys would have a field day with the offensive talent Jerry has assembled. Additionally, I'm sure he's looked at how LA vastly overpaid Goff and does not want to be saddled with paying a good QB elite money for the next 4-5 years.
