In reply to Richard Owens.

Moving on from Dak has nothing to do with Dak at this point.

It is simpler than that. You cannot pay Dak 38 million next year with a declining salary cap. Dak understands this hopefully, and no matter what he says, through his actions, wants to move on somewhere else.

So you either trade him to the highest bidder now, or lose him and get a comp pick in two years. Maybe a non exclusive tag is in play, but that would create bad blood at that point and not be helpful IMO.

So those are the options, it doesn't matter if he turned into Dan Marino, you still have the same problems.
