Even if we assume that valuation is accurate and Dak waives his no trade, would you want to have Sanders start his career with a skeleton crew because you are 70million in hole at the quarterback position? He is not a type of prospect that will carry a team and probably needs lot of offensive line and run game help to succeed initially.
I always want to start this by saying we both know this will not happen. We are just speaking hypothetically.
If the Cowboys could make this trade I wouldn’t mind Sanders playing his first year under duress. Remember his dad will be the coach. Deion is not going to allow his son to be ruined just because the Cowboys are cash strapped his rookie season. Deion would likely sit his son to protect him (and his future) is the line isn’t protecting him.
The ripple effect that would have is, the Cowboys likely have another bad season and would end up with another top 10 pick next year (not to mention the second 1st round pick from Tennessee or Cleveland). So they would enter the 2026 off season with two 1st round picks (one being a top 10 pick), all of Dak’s money off the books, and Deion/Shedeur going into their 2nd season. To be honest I wouldn’t mind that at all, even if it meant another terrible season in 2025.
