Cowboys Rumors Mailbag: CeeDee Lamb Skipping Games? Trade Eric Scott For John Ridgeway? Dak Deal?

[Music] let's get into our Cowboys mailbag a super thanks first up here from Noah Turner says the Cowboys would be the team to wait till next off season and not pay lamb and then just tag him God forbid this deal is done as soon as possible it needs to be done you you the the leaves have fallen there's not much left to wait for unless you do something stupid and somehow Jamar Chase gets paid first which would probably be a bad thing for you actually like just get it done I feel like they're haggling over like the guaranteed money come on he's going to be here for three years just just give him give him the the the the big fat guaranteed contract it will be fine he's too important to your offense once the games actually matter for him not to be here you let Zack Martin hold out out till mid mid August please don't do the exact same thing with lamb it's just dumb another Super thanks from Turner say you think Taj Brooks out of Texas Tech could be an option in next year's draft class I think he could be I think there are concerns despite his really good production I thought he might go pro last year by the way as as a result I think there is some concerns about his overall athletic juice and speed he's a big boy he's powerful teams do still crave athletic explosive plays in the backfield um he was really low on Dame bugger's list I thought too low but might be an indication that maybe the NFL is not as high on on him as as I am at least in Via super thanks it is a feature on YouTube that's no different than a super chat it's just it's the on demand version not the live version you can edit your message send in whatever you want and as long as you're not doing an ism we'll give you a shout out here on the Cowboys report David Lopez Dak Prescott quote I don't play for the money never have never cared for to be honest with you yet yet look could be the highest paid QB broh I don't whenever when Dak said that I think everyone went okay okay I still wonder if that was an attempt at there's been two different answers here you had the I don't I don't play for the money and also Dax saying hey and I I I I got to make sure I I do right by by the Brotherhood and next guy up gets paid the most which isn't I don't think either of those things have to be true I wonder if that was a bit of uh you know positioning publicly negotiating of you know I don't I'm not just going to take the biggest offer out there but I do need to get paid what I'm worth and if that's how you frame it which could very well be a stretch and Dak just might have been trying to to to fill airtime and said something stupid very possible I think that starts to make some more sense and someone told me the quarterback Market was broken it's honestly not though like how much percent of the blame do we give or put on the QB it's a a lot of it and relative to the salary cap it's not that figure also the percentages of what they're getting paid relative to the salary cap haven't really changed that much like you could give Dak like $60 million plus and it's like a a one or two% raise that's it it's just the it's just the sticker shock which I totally totally understand so would you make Dak the highest paid NFL QB my mind has been for a while if you're going to make a QB a top five highest paid QB or whatever at that point you're you're you're kind of in for a penny in for a pound right it's a bit of a sunk CA FY maybe but it's too important to to try to screw around over what amounts to a couple million dollars if you think he's the guy so would you do it why for yes n for no at the pinned comment NOA Turner you think the tush push should be banned I don't want it banned actually it it is a football play quite frankly it is the closest thing to original real football that exists the founding fathers of football would be would watch a real NFL game and be horrified until they saw the tush push and went oh that's that what do you mean you're throwing the ball in the air forward this this is the work of the devil like the football is changed drastically I'm fine keeping the tush push I don't think it's going to be as impactful with with Jason Kelce gone also so stop it that is your job as a defense stop it I I I have no problems keeping it from CD bam is fun ease there if Bland Diggs or Lewis get hurt this season and Gilmore's for agent do you sign him yes I do now kind of want to try kayin Carson but I think having that veteran presence an option would be a really shrewd decision there uh so yeah I I would probably sign Gilmore if he's still available and maybe that that's what he wants he's waiting to find a spot where he's going to get the playing time the money and everything else that that goes along with it and uh and you know

for last minute tickets the lowest price all guaranteed from Daniel can we all go protest at the Ford Center so we can pressure the Jones boys to sign lamb and Prescott try I I once told Stephen Jones to his face don't forget to pay Dak Prescott and then he forgot for a year and a half so what are you GNA do from Steven goz in the early days Jerry would make deals left and right and sign to contracts before the deadline now for the last decade he hasn't pulled the trigger on anything what happened Stephen Jones has more power and more control and more influence Steven's the one that doesn't like spending money the you know Wildcat and Jerry I think still exists somewhere but I think Jerry saw what happened to Al Davis this is just my personal Theory where at the end Al Al didn't have it anymore and it was there's a a lot of Chaos in that organization the trans the transition plan the the succession plan was awkward I don't think Jerry wanted that he seeded power to stepen and Steven doesn't want to spend money Brian Perry will the Cowboys sign ADT well they did technically sign Albert Huggins does that move the needle for you probably not so I would say around roster cutdown time keep your eye out for an addition or two from Timmy Jonas is is is this the long lost Jonas brother Chris is there there's there's there's not a Tim right I I I don't I Joe and off the RS uh what's the plan of CD polls and EV Smith and skips games I'm going to cry um that I'll be mad that's that's that's like that that that is the the the seventh circle of hell nightmare scenario whatever the proper terminology fifth Circle whatever it is don't want that don't want that at all that's that's bad that's that kind of gets into the is this relationship fixable stage I don't I don't want to do an em Smith again that's that's that's not a good scenario in the end I don't think lamb skips cuz that's a lot of game check to miss out on and I I'd be surprised if that happened so prediction time good job bu this on the flag Chris will lamb skip any games one for yes zero for no I'm gonna type in my zero because I'm going to speak it into existence but you guys can sound off Daniel uh what could be a trade the Cowboys make if they get off to a hot start this year towards the trade deadline until they address it I'm going to look at defensive tackle and running back as the main areas of concern and I don't think James Conor is going to be available but that'd be a really good you know short-term rental back to pick up maybe there's a defensive tackle that becomes available but I I I would be I would be searching that that market um or if there's an injury to replace somebody AB PO is JJ setting up Dak to fail by not signing CD also uh how should McCarthy's play calling be if lamb doesn't sign daak should deal nonetheless well I'm not going to give more touches to to to the running game I'd probably try to get like I probably scheme for Turpin more because he got got some athletic juice frankly um I think they're just being dumb just Pam like I you know a week from now I hope we're we're live breaking news lamb sign thank goodness you know from Dragon Rider Game of Thrones fan I assume uh trade idea Eric Scott for John Ridgeway I am down I am down but but uh I I think to an extent not sure how much interest there is in Eric Scott I also think that John Ridgeway has kind of been put up on a pedestal so to speak of like the one that got away and he's being romanticized he might get cut by by the commanders now Eric Scot might get cut by you which makes it maybe feasible there uh I'm down I also don't think we I think I also don't think we should remember Ridgeway as as more than what he actually was and has been I want you guys to put your Cowboys trade ideas in the comments section drop them for me in the comments of today's show from CD bam if you were the GM who would you trade for a good running back or or would you trade for a good running back just depends on good but I'd be I'd be trying Jets Dolphins Panthers who's going to get cut who's going to get traded like I I got all these extra day picks I'll flip one next year for a running back that gives me a little bit more juice can I get C Herbert is Israel banaka not going to be a bust you know who the Dolphins not going to keep like I I would explore the running back Market because I don't think you have enough right now at at your spot Zeno saying saw a stat uh that compares pres Scott Lamar's playoff success both are very similar no one will criticize Jackson CU Prescot his QB for the Cowboys oh I I'll hold off on the whole rant here but you're not wrong Lamar has been frankly worse in the postseason than than Dak has been now he's got two MVPs we can argue maybe if shouldn't have been his last year but I that's beside the point my main issue with with with this stat is they always put like a certain number of games on there like oh yeah you you've had to have played so many games and normally it's like four or five or six and you know what ends up happening that by putting on that filter it becomes well of like the 15 qualifying quarter backs Dak and Lamar are 11th and 12th or whatever of the last you know since 2016 and you know that the 10 guys who are ahead of them it's like one magical run guy like like that that one Matt Ryan season or Hall of Famers you know and everyone else below them also pro bowlers you know why because the other quarterbacks don't get in the conversation don't have enough games to play like it automatically pulls out guys like Herbert and Deshawn and and Kyler Murray who actually had really bad playoff performances because they didn't qualify so it's not like oh bottom five playoff QB well yes out of like 15 instead of being well he's the top 15 QB out of like the 75 that actually count that's that's always been been my issue it's a framing filtering problem now if you guys want more Cowboys updates news rumors everything else in between good news you've come to the right spot hit that sub button so you don't miss out Eli Aaron I think we need to rebuild at this point be okay with it I don't like where we're at and at this time it's a point where you're clueless to what your problem is with this team you have to make a decision yeah either go be aggressive with your current core which I think look You've Won 12 games three years in a row you can totally justify adding more pieces and being aggressive you've also had three straight years of playoff heartbreak you can totally justify rebuilding a little bit you got you have to pick one you sit on the fence long enough bad things are going to happen or Worse the rest of the league your own players your own coaching staff they're going to they're going to decide that you're going to rebuild without them and now you're in a bad spot there's there's nothing preventing Mike McCarthy and Dak Prescott from going you know what we don't want to deal with this they can make it to the NFC Championship Game this upcoming year and they can say nope we don't want we don't want to deal with it by now I it's G to happen if it does happen or if that scenario unfolds but there's there's nothing stopping you because he didn't make a decision when you had the the control and the power CD bam last question what do you do with Dak if we don't make the playoffs this year well how how does it all play out like honestly you should have kind of back this you should have already made up your your mind like is is this a scenario where like ah you know Dak through 35 TDS 12 interceptions but they averaged 3.5 yards per car and the defense was dog how is that how was that that that the quarterback's fault that's the organization's fault for setting this up for failure right the last time a head coach and a QB both entered the the final year of their contracts was this team in 2019 they don't learn from their mistakes [Music] h
