The Full Scope Of Dak’s Leverage

[Verdict]

If Dak snaps a femur or blows out a knee on the tag he is probably going to wish he had signed and been a rich man and moved on.

If Dak snaps a femur or blows out a knee on the tag he is probably going to wish he had signed and been a rich man and moved on.

He'll still be plenty rich between the tag and his insurance policy. If he was worried about injury he wouldn't have played for $2 million last year.

 

[CATCH17]

I hope it gets ugly and we get out of this deal or just let him hit the open market and go from there.

Let's bring 31 other teams into play and see what happens.. If we lose.. We gain 30+ million in cap space and we can draft a guy or sign a vet like Brady, ect..

Problem is the cowboys front office in normal fashion are going to drag this out just long enough for the desirable free agents to be gone. Will leave us with money but nobody to buy (like they've done multiple times recently)

 

[CATCH17]

Sounds like quite the Dak slobbering fantasy. Dak will play two tag years and then sign for 45 mil per year! Dak has never had a bad season or missed the playoffs and no one ever gets injured so I guess there’s no roadblocks. The future is bright!

People are terrified for some reason not to sign him lol.. What's the worst that could happen? We have no playoff success?

Odds are we are throwing that out the window anyways once he signs.

Oh I agree... I fully expect Dallas to get the worst end of this deal.

If they were confident in him as their QB then they should've Dak's deal done before Wentz and Goff.

Just like when they signed Amari.. They should've got that deal done when he could've been had for 15 million...

Maybe neither side wanted to sign but still they should have not taken this lazy approach.

Dak only has leverage if Jerry allows it. Being the QB for the Cowboys is the most high profile position in sports. It's not the same in Jacksonville or Indy.

This is absolutely true. The tweets above are basically what this board has been talking about for a year. Nothing really new there.

Joey Ickes is a marketing and finance guy. To me, all of this sounds like a bunch of speculation, based on assumption. If Jerry decides that he is ready to move on, Dak has no leverage. If Jerry decides that he must have Dak, then Jerry is basically giving him all the leverage. So what Jerry will we see? That's the real question to me.

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

The only reason he didn't sign the $33 million dollar offer is because the Cowboys shorted him on the guaranteed money.

Is there something that confirms this?

 

[MoistMayonnaise]

Except, if Dak doesn't sign the tender or if he holds out, he wont get paid. WE draft a QB in the first, put the transition tag on him, if he goes we get draft picks. Think that how it works. No way he recoups 30m in future contracts

Everyone knows the floor for getting a deal done has been what Wentz and Goff got and the Cowboys haven't even reached that yet.

 

[Dallasfann]

Here is how you end all this. Call Tom Brady in your car in the parking lot. Tell him you have bad cell service in the parking garage and have him call you back in 10 minutes. Race to your office where Dak's agent is sitting and wait for Tom to call you back. Dak isn't good enough for all that bull**** I just read.

Yeah, everybody doesn't know that. The article you posted offers no confirmed facts, that I can discern. This MSNBC article stems from an article from SportsNaut (?) that basically refers back to the Jane Slater text that supports the idea that the Cowboys offered a top 5 contract to Dak. IE, no supporting evidence that any of the claims are confirmed as true.

 

[KJJ]

The only leverage I see Dak having is he could sit out the season leaving the Cowboys scrambling for a starting QB in 2020. Not having him would very likely lead to a rough season for the Cowboys and McCarthy in his first season. The problem with sitting out is Dak will be throwing away a season and around 28M on the franchise tag. The Cowboys could turn around and franchise him again in 2021 and he would be passing up close to 32M if he chose to sit out another season. I just can’t see him doing that.

I'm not sure what you mean. Are you saying that Dak wasn't offered $33 million per year? Pretty much all that is out there in regards to the negotiations are reports.

This reasoning is why Stephen A Smith calls Cowboy fans the dumbest ever....

This is not 1995 sir!

A successful QB on any of the 32 NFL teams ( Ps. XFL players are getting endorsements too) in the YEAR 2020 has the same access as Dallas QB1....ever heard of the internet, social media and Millennials (whom never experienced Dallas success....

We are living in a new NFL Era bro!!

Dak having success in any city would trend!!

No, I'm asking you if you have anything confirming the fact that Dak turned down the Cowboys Offer because there wasn't enough guaranteed money, as you posted earlier in this thread.

For the record, it's been reported that the Cowboys actually offered 34 but again, not substantiation on that.

About the only thing he’s said that I agree with. The Dak contract debates prove just how dumb this fan base is.

LOL..... at the idea that SAS looks at anybody and thinks "dumbest ever" is actually pretty funny.

Sure, I am dumb.
no I have never heard of the internet
All teams are the same profile
That is why Aikman and Romo are raking in the broadcast booth. Wouldn't have anything to do with the high profile jobs they previously held.

Oh I see. That is an educated guess on my part since Dak has come out himself and said he doesn't expect to be the highest paid player and his later comments about there being more to contracts than the AAV. People are saying Dak wants to be the highest paid player when the Cowboys haven't even reached Wentz and Goff's number. Now I am wondering about the terms of whatever 7-year deal the Cowboys offered.
