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

Dak has always been willing and has moved his money exactly as Joe is discussing. Adding void years, flipping base to bonus.
The Cowboys FO structured his deal poorly then let it run all the way out meaning there was nowhere to move money.
Fans are so contract and cap illiterate that it becomes painful to discuss.

Dak is paid insane money but so are all franchise QBs. At some point it will be a better value to build a team with a cheaper QB and better roster around that QB.
But its' pretty hard to claim that too heavily when the same QBs seem to keep making it to the conf finals.
Josh Allen, Jared Goff and Pat Mahomes have top QB salaries, and they are only going up. Jalen Hurts makes 51M AAV.

Dallas didn't cause Dallas to draft R1 guys in back-to-back years that offered next to nothing in performance.
Dak didn't cause them to avoid free agency. They have done so even when Dak was on a Rookie 4th round deal.
Dak's agent has been willing to bet on Dak and the Cowboys have been hard-headed playing right into that with this thought that deals struck lasty second are the best ones.
It's pure insanity in cap mgmt.

Dak's deal is designed to flip ~40M forward in a restructure this season. His 2025 base is higher than his 2026 and 2027 base specifically so that money can be pushed forward.

No. He's played kick the can, but he's never taken less money. Can't ever remember Qak suggesting he would take less if it meant a Super Bowl appearance.

Joe Burrow has never taken less money either.
He came into the League on a rookie deal that GTD him 30M walking in the door.
Then he early extended at a massive raise.
His base this year in 25M which he will undoubtedly push forward. His dead money this season is 21M which has already been paid and there is no avoiding.

Did anybody say Joe took less money?
No. So why bring all the nonsense in?
The post asks, "should Qak."

Easy answer to me. Qak is top 20. Let him take top 20 pay.

Noticed an article the other day of QBs that would win a ring in their career and those who wouldn't. Wanna guess which side of the fence Qak landed on?

Dallas can post June cut Dak in early March 2026 or 2027.

No need to rework his contract.

2025 will be a struggle.

Didn’t skip over it…I’m gonna address you soon enough…I was gonna see if you were gonna continue to stalk me and make a follow up post about me ignoring you. Which you did. So for you I’m giving more evidence that people favored the Buccs. Just hold on tight.

Hey guy?! I’m back. Here you go….


https://cowboyszone.com/threads/who...ys-vs-buccaneers-game-and-by-how-much.506129/


Sporting News:

The Cowboys have marched sloppily into the playoffs with Dak Prescott continuing his interception streak. They have become dependent on playing on a lead so they can get their running game rolling and tee off with their pass rush. They have the capacity to pour it on and run away, but close games aren’t their strength.
The Buccaneers will work to stay in it early with their run defense and some key third-down stops. They also had great success running on Dallas in the Week 1 meeting and Tom Brady has been sharper with the downfield passing game of late with more help with his receivers. Mike McCarthy’s team is headed for more early playoff disappoint against a sub-.500 team, albeit one with the GOAT at quarterback.
Pick: Buccaneers win 24-20

Pro Football Network:

This game may come down to the Brady and Mike Evans connection. If these two can link up multiple times as they did a couple of weeks ago, we could see Tampa Bay pull off the upset against this 12-win Cowboys team.
Cowboys vs. Buccaneers Score Prediction
Buccaneers 24, Cowboys 21

PFT:
.
Florio’s take: Tom Brady has 47 career playoff games. This one will be number 48. Win or lose, it’s quite possibly his last game in Tampa. The Cowboys, meanwhile, look like they peaked too soon. Why are they favored?
Florio’s pick: Buccaneers 19, Cowboys 16.

The title of the thread is "Bengals Burrow willing alter deal, lauds Eagles cap control, should Dak"

Is Dak overpaid? Yes
Is he winning a Super Bowl? Probably not and especially not with this mgmt.
Did he finish 2nd in MVP voting in 2023? Yes.
Is his contract situation due to very poor cap and contract management by the Dallas Cowboys? Yes.
Are other QBs taking pay cuts to help their teams? No.

Stalk you? What a drama queen. You posted a garbage link that did not support your position at all and made you look like a fool. Nothing more nothing less.

Sure. Some did pick the Bucs in a very close game based on their recent past and Brady. Anyone who had actually paid attention, including me and many others here, could see the Bucs had flaws and were not very good.

But anyways. My point wasn't about who did or did not pick the Bucs in that game. My point was to point out how badly you clowned yourself, because that is exactly what you did.

You're welcome.
 
If having Dak alter his deal to help with CAP space but doesn't' extend the time the Cowboys are on the hook to pay him, great! If it extends the years in which they have to pay him than heck no! The sooner we're done with Dak the better.

You are absolutely correct, most fans have no idea the CAP works and what highly paid players have done in the past to help with CAP situations. The problem is Jerry and Stephan plain and simple! Their ego believing they are the smartest guys not only in their organization but the entire league is why they haven't won in 29 YEARS! In today's NFL, teams need to be really good in the draft but they also need to take advantage of Free Agents and trades which the these two idiots for the most part refuse to do! I saw a documentary with Jimmy Johnson and he said the Cowboys made 51 trades in his 5 years in Dallas when conversely the Giants during that same time made just one! He said the Herschel trade was big but the combination of the others is what made the biggest difference.

LOL...... like Dak would ever consider doing something that benefits the team. It will be a cold day in hell before that happens.

He’s done it many times. He’s never refused to alter his deal and no player would. It’s the same money just an accounting change for cap relief. I’m OT’s try sure he did it last year

Burrow isn’t offering to take less lol altering it isn’t cutting it. He’s literally offering to do what Dak has done multiple times and players do all the time. That’s why voidable years are built into most big deals
