What he should do is hire an actual gm, shut his ass up, and only be seen in his suite by cameras on Sunday.

Agree! Clean house. Why did Jerry even consider bringing back Elliott? He was cheap because he sucks. The sharpest decline for Elliott was in 2020 when he fell from 84.8 yards per game in 2019 to 65.3.
Ironically, that was also the year after he signed a laughable six-year extension w/ Dallas that handcuffed their salary cap for several seasons.
Look how Prescott's play declined after his "laughable extension". Jerry better not wait to pay Parsons. The market for elite defenders is expected to continue to increase. And Lance? Prescott is under contract for the next 4 years so there's no point keeping Lance if Prescott is the starter. Ridiculous! Get rid of him too. My gosh it doesn't take a rocket scientist. "All in" my arz!

That's true, but ... if he is going to stay the GM, then he has to put in the hours like a GM, not defer to Will McClay. Otherwise, as you wrote, he needs to step aside, and that includes Stephen, because I doubt Stephen works very hard either.

Yeah, we dont agree.
He does care. He takes a beating every week and gets right back up. Stayed out there in two miserable games the last two weeks when he could have sat on the sideline with a significant shoulder injury.

Prudent, since the 20 million injury guarantee takes effect. They don't want to be stuck with that

I wish we weren't stuck with our 240 million waste of space. Am guessing whomever the new coach and coaching staff will be will feel similar.

We're not really stuck with anything. We can do what Coach Payton did with Russ. Gonna hurt for a couple years but you drafted the QB of the future and not paying him. Look at Denver now, on the upswing immediately.

Denver, Washington and Chicago all start rookie QB's and all have better records than us.
New England switched to their rookie QB in-season but has the same number of wins as we do.
It can be done but he'd be 90 mils in dead money as a post June 1 cut next yr.

Yep but only workable IF we draft the next franchise QB and he becomes a hit.

Jerry is not able to keep up & just overpays for mediocrity. He keeps coaches around way too long & is okay with settling making the playoffs a little more often than not. Rinse, wash & repeat for decades.

Next yr just doesnt appear to be a good draft for that though. I'm sure several of those guys will get picked in the 1st rd, but my honest opinion right now is none of them warrant that high a pick.

What happens if Jones puts up curtains against the Redskins and the Redskins whoop out ass? What will eb the excuse then? Was the temperature not right?
I think that given Dak's contract that is is almost impossible to get rid of him. The stars would need to align just right.
We are now stuck with Dak unless we take a QB in round 1 (relatively speaking he'd be cheap) and that forces Dak to accept a trade and a renegotiated contract so the new team can afford him.
For perspective, per Spotrac, Dak is taking up 17 percent of the cap (16.99 to be exact) in 2024. In 2025, he will be taking up 32.89 percent of the cap. Let's call it 33 percent.
For further perspective, consider that in 2024 Josh Allen takes up 12 percent of the cap and in 2025 Josh takes up 16 percent. Dak is taking up DOUBLE the cap space as Josh Allen in 2025.
The cap hit is 89,882,647! However, if he were a pre-June 1 release, the dead cap hit would be 151,8887,647 with a savings of 62 million. Obviously, the math doesn't work!
A post-June TRADE is somewhat more palatable. 2025 dead cap= 42 million, 2026 dead cap = 62 million 2026 cap savings = 48 million.
As others have said, they could draft one in the later rounds, but the chances of that guy getting enough reps to really know what he is would be slim. The reps will go to Dak.
There is no real out built into Dak's contract until 2028. But what will most likely happen, especially if they do not draft a QB, is that Jones will restructure the 2025 numbers so that Dak isn't taking up 33 percent of the cap, which means the 2028 out will likely be pushed into 2029.
Of course, these percentages, I think, are based on current known salary caps, but as we saw last year, the cap going up does not mean the team has more money to spend as much as it means that players can ask for more money.
That was a very long winded way of saying that we are stuck with Dak unless we draft a QB and force Dak to accept a trade and renegotiate the contract for a new team.
It's really not too much different from Cleveland's situation with Watson, but I do think Dak is better than Watson at this stage.

The Redskins game at home is Week 18 and currently we don;t have a time slot. Most likely it will be a 1pm EST game though. IIRC the only time slot we have a problem with the sun is the 4:25 time slot games. The early games the sun doesnt have the same impact.
The Redskins game next week is at Washington.

Well, coach Payton had to wait a year for the guy he wanted. But really this is all academic as Jerruh doesn't have the football acumen to make such a move.
