if the goal is to win a super bowl they're in a bit of a rough spot needing a few NFC teams to fall off rather than try to move up to their level. Bears should (defense isn't sustainable year to year), Saints could (brees arm falling off), and Jared Goff sucks so it's possible and nobody emerges from behind them and they still have to get there from lol garrett conservatism in game but that's a lot of dominoes.
also Jaylon Smith and la'ell Collins. They have a **** ton of cap space but definitely can't pay them all.
Assuming they want to pay Dak then I'd pay Zeke last of all of them just because he'll want too much but...he really is an incredible RB and is very important to them/their O.
If i was Jerruh, I'd probably hold off on paying Dak for one more season just to be certain he's worth it because it might be tempting to save $28-30m a year, pay everyone else and then give a rookie or middling FA the infrastructure around him
they can still franchise him next year if needs be and I don't think he's gonna cost that much extra to extend, even if he has an incredible year in 2019
