If they don't extend him it's a clear message, that Dak's time is coming to an end here. Might not be this season, but if he doesnt get a new deal then probably anything short of a super bowl appearance probably ends it for him here in Dallas.
Also, Jones and the Cowboys already drafted a QB this yr, it's Trey Lance.
If Dak is not extended and plays every game, are you in favor of paying Lance his 5th year option or extending Lance based on what you know so far?
If you don't see Lance doing it against the first stringers, and while not wearing a red jersey, then how do you know he is worth anything?
I suppose that one could reasonably argue that since Lance has been on the team that Dallas has a better handle on what Lance can be than they do on an unknown like Penix etc. But the DC writers have said Lance is competing for number 2.
Dak has a no trade clause. If they do feel confident in Lance, and Dak is NOT extended, then force Dak's hand on a trade and start Lance now. Dak won't want to sit for a year so he'll accept a trade. Also, given Dak's stats sheet and age, he should fetch 2 number 1 picks. Deshaun Watson, who hasn't seen the field consistently fetched 3, so WTF.
But, unless Jerry is playing the "just because I say it doesn't mean it is true" game, then it doesn't seem like that is remotely possible.
