Dak has earned the money and has every right to take it . What it comes down to is by giving the team a discount so they can acquire more talent and have a better chance of winning a championship do you really serve yourself better in the long run .
Brady thought so he wanted to win more SBs than any other QB and he did it and Im betting after a long successful career he probably has enough money to be comfortable .
But what do the SBs really do for him after football . Would the extra 5 to 10 million a year for ten yrs be more beneficial to him , Couple more houses boat as big as Jerrys or what ever obviously not in his mind .
Brady wanted the distinction of doing what nobody else had done and he got it . Not every player rates their success on championships some look at the money first and if they get the championship all the better .
Depends on the player some look at it as employment and get there satisfaction from making the most they can and providing for their family in the best way possible . We as fans want championships players families want lifetime security .
To give a discount or not is a decision Dak has to make but there is no wrong answer it just depends on what is your priority
Let me expound on this a little. When players, not necessarily Prescott, say they're priority is family first many think of just him and his immediate family of wife, children and parents, but many of these players come from poor families and they may be very close to grandparents, aunts and uncles and cousins who are also still in poverty and these players want to help them out too. People also look at what the average pay per season and then forget how much of that gets eaten up by taxes, They also don't get that often when these players get new houses for these extended relatives they buy those homes and keep them in the players name so the relative doesn't have to pay capital gains on those houses. They also "create" jobs for these extended relatives and pay them very good salaries so those relatives don't have to pay capital gains tax on top of income tax if the players just gave them the money.
I commend players that take large parts of their income to also take care of not just their immediate family but their extended families too.
