Video: Skip: Cowboys haven’t spoken with Dak’s agent

[CATCH17]

Good segment. Shannon the Cowboy hater wants us to pay Dak of course..

 

[JJHLH1]

Good grief. Jerry’s incompetence knows no bounds.

How can the GM not be talking to his most important player who is no longer under contract?

I hope Dak holds out. He has done his part. It’s now up to the team to step up and pay the man or face the consequences.

 

[cern]

Signing dak is going from problematical to impossible. Not looking good. It's a shame we're so unprepared to deal with the matter. QB in free agency looms as a distinct possibility.

OMG Non-exclusive tags are most commonly used. It means a team will pay the tagged player no less than the average of the five highest salaries at the player’s position, or 120 percent of the player’s cap number from the previous season, whichever is greater. The player is allowed to negotiate with other teams, but his current team can match any offer sheet. If a player's current team declines to match another team's offer, it will be awarded two first-round draft picks as compensation

We're in a bad situation if we don't have the Franchise and Transition tag to use on Dak & Amari both.

I would love it if Dallas tagged Amari and just let Dak hit Free Agency and then see what his market value actually is.

Why are we blaming Jerry here? He might be the problem, he might not be.

If you believe the rumors, the Cowboys and Dak's people were close last September but then Dallas started 3-0 and Dak's agents went nuclear and upped their asking price and the Cowboys basically said no and that's where we are. It's possible the ball is sitting in Dak's court and his agents are trying to wait out Jones.

Captain Obvious must've read the same article the rest of us did.

At the end of the day.. Dallas will pay Dak whatever he wants.

Dak is good for business and they'll just do the best they can to win with their marketable jersey selling QB.

 

[TWOK11]

Here’s the thing about convincing lies: They have to be believable.

This claim simply isn’t believable

 

[Doomsday101]

Stephen has addressed the fact that right now they do not know if the CBA in place will remain as is or a new CBA is agreed on and will do nothing until they know. The NFL and NFLPA have agreed to delay the date in which franchise tags can be implemented for a extra 2 days as they work on this situation with the CBA. Knowing cap figures of what the final agreement will be is pretty important to the teams around the league and the Cowboys who have a couple of big contracts they will be contending with. Or Dallas could just do it blindly and hope the CBA falls their way

That would've been the smart move.

The cap is always going up.. It's no secret..

If the cap goes up then Amari and Dak's contract demands will surely change for the worse.


The only way Dallas can regain control of this situation is if they let Dak and his representatives know their number and tell him that he can sign it or they will look to move on from him instead of telling everyone how much they love him and he is our future.

They give themselves no leverage in these negotiations at all which tells me they will cave to whatever Dak wants in the end and the Cowboys will be worse for it.

 

[glimmerman]

No biggie. We can use the tag if they can’t agree. And maybe Daks agent wants more than we want to pay. So tag him and let’s see what other teams offer, it might be less than the 33 a year he turned down.

They do not know what rules they are playing under at this stage. Falcons also are waiting this out as they have some big contract to deal with but they too are waiting on how this CBA works out.

 

[BigStar]

Tag him and move up for Herbert. Dak doesn't make attempts until the 2nd half I need in the first, aka playing for easy. I played wth guys like that albeit HS stuff but still relates oddly. His stats are very "aware"

But we do not know the context of the 33 mill. That is bogus number. If I handed you a 4 year deal at 33 mill a year that is a contract of 132 on a 4 year deal. Now if I turn around and say I will Guaranteed on 40 mill then what you have is a 40 mill contract, player knows if he is released that the rest of the money never comes. Without knowing the full structure the Cowboys have made the 33 a year really is a meaningless number

I was only assuming that the guaranteed money would match that of goff or close to it. Should have mentioned that.

 

[CouchCoach]

Let's say when they do talk, this 17th game has thrown a little kink into this and any player not signed is going to want to jack his deal by at least 6.25%, the increase form 16 to 17 games. If they were talking in the 35M range, that's an additional 2,1875M per season, so that just jumped it to 37M.

The owners have all of these unsigned players coming up and they choose now to push this 17th game out there, not to mention an additional playoff game they don't receive a full game check on. The only reason I can think of for the timing is to send the message 18 isn't flying.

 

[Doomsday101]

I understand but that is an assumption we do not know. We are told this number of 33 but nothing more than that.

Looking at Wilson, Goff and Wentz you see the real money that player knows is real. Again claiming it is 33 a year is great but if player is cut or released how much is that contract worth? These number are real player knows this is theirs


Wilson $65M signing bonus, $107M of total guarantees,

Goff $25,000,000 signing bonus, $110,042,682 guaranteed

Wentz $16,367,683 signing bonus, $107,970,683 guaranteed

Yep...nobody else bids against themselves quite like the Jones Boys do...

The seahags really loaded the front of Wilson’s contract. If we sign Dak I wonder if we will do something similar with the signing bonus.
