Bengals Burrow willing alter deal, lauds Eagles cap control, should Dak

Buccs were a good team that suffered injuries. Now certainly the 49ers were a much better team and defense but let’s remember most picked the Cowboys to lose to the Buccs.

excuses excuses. The bucs were a losing team no matter how you try and deflect
what did Dak look like the next week against a real playoff team?
Dak bots are pathetic

Aren’t you one of the idiots that said we would lose to Brady and the Buccs? Now you’re talking out of your ***. Keep the same energy…..

Why is that so unbelievable? Dak is being paid more than a QB who has been to 7 straight AFCCG's and 5 super bowls. If anything is unbelievable it should be that Dak makes more than that guy.

That’s because Mahomes signed his deal some time ago. Trevor Lawrence and Tua also make more than him. That’s just the NFL. Regardless of how anyone feels about Dak he’s not a one year wonder. His rookie year is better than anything Baker has ever done….

Who cares?

The only thing Dak can do that will help the Cowboys is retire.

He'll only retire once he's squeezed out every last penny he can from the Cowboys. He'd wheel himself out there in a chair so he can pull some muscle and hit the IR.
 
Honestly the last thing I want is a restructured Dak deal where they feel in 3 years that they have to resign again simply to eat some of their cap hits.

Yeah these articles come around where they insinuate restructuring as taking less. I don't get why they try and dupe the readers.

True. Restructuring actually means getting your money now instead of getting paid throughout the season and sometimes means money being guaranteed that wasn't guaranteed before. Every player should want their deal restructured.

It does help the team, though, since it prorates the money a player was going to receive during the season, but it doesn't do it to the disadvantage of the player. It is to their advantage.

It's kind of like Micah's deal. He makes it sound like he's willing to take less, but what it will really mean is that the deal will be structured in a way to create cap space this year, then be restructured to create more cap space next year, etc. He's going to get his money, too. The best thing he could do for the cap with the amount he'll get paid is let them give him a long deal to spread out the money and make that easier to do with restructures. If there's one thing I hold against Dak, it's him wanting a short-term deal instead of seeing the benefit capwise of doing something long term like Mahomes did. It isn't like Mahomes has been underpaid, far from it, but his 10-year deal has been restructured four times to open up space.

All of his base salaries for the rest of his deal are $40 million or more and he's got four void years on the end, so don't be surprised if they restructure him multiple times.

I just went and looked at Dak's deal and it does have four void years, essentially making it an eight-year deal for accounting purposes, but he's a UFA in 2029. The void years will help Dallas spread out his restructures.
