Twitter: Archer: Cowboys have sent a new proposal Dak's agent

[ultron]

Should've extended him a year ago.

They tried - he “bet on himself”

 

[ultron]

Guarantee it right now that if they agree to give Dak a $33M+ contract this franchise is doomed and Dak will be Dak only wealthier while the franchise continues their 8-8 BS.

He already turned down 33m/year so this new contract will be at least 35m/year

 

[Rockport]

And you'll be here making crap up and acting like the 5 year old we all know you to be.

I have to. It’s the only way to get through to you.

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

Yeah and they know what they are doing. Riling up the ignorant and less informed part of this fanbase to make Dak look like the bad guy. At the end of the day you can say you are giving him a deal at 35 a year but without knowing the guarantees or signing bonus it means nothing.

This is not accurate. The team is not trying to make Dak look bad. The team is trying to avoid tagging him because it limits what you can do in a given cap year. The tag is immediate, it hits your cap in that year, no ability to spread out anything. So while there is an advantage to it, there are also stark limitations. IE, not a lot of money to work with to sign other players, FAs. If the team were really trying to make Dak look bad, they would be making the contract demands public and that hasn't happened.

Dak and his agent are creating the narrative here. It's not the team IMO.

when all is said and done, I expect him to get signed by weds, a day before the new cba is voted on and approved. Dallas is notorious for taking things down to the wire. I think his new deal will come in around 35-36 mil per year for about 4-5 years. CHEAP compared to what you have to pay him after the new CBA.

 

[ultron]

I just want to see the end numbers. If we are around $35MM a year and around $105-110M guaranteed, I can live with it (won't love it but whatever). But if we get a deal where he kind of blows Wilson's numbers out of the water, then geezus.

If he turns down 35m/year $110m guaranteed - I’m tagging and trading him ASAP if I’m the Cowboys. All of these QBs he wants to be paid like (Wilson, Rothlessburger, Goff, and Wentz) have all been to a Super Bowl & 3 have won a SB (granted Wentz was hurt but let’s not kid ourselves he’s much better than Foles).

Yeah I disagree. Hell I don’t fault them. They are trying to get Dak on the cheapest deal possible. They did this same tactic with Lawrence and Zeke and even earlier with Dez.

 

[Sydla]

I have to. It’s the only way to get through to you.

This just shows how much of a dunderhead you are.

 

[Section446]

Never has a team gone so far to re-sign such an average player.

 

[Rayman70]

IT BEHOOVES Jerry and Stephen to do this now because of 2 factors. ONE, the franchise tag is a hard cap hit immediately and would cost us a ton of team cap revenue now..really boxes us into a corner signing free agents etc. BUT signing him to a long term deal avoids that big number or hit being taken now. We can spread it out and still sign guys.

I saw Tanneyhill in playoffs

Titans did better with Tannehill than we did with Dak

I mean Tannehill threw 15 passes a game in the postseason lol, no game they won did he even hit 100 yards passing. The one game Derrick Henry went for less than 180 yards and Tannehill had to throw they lost. The dude's a solid QB but don't allow a lightning in the bottle 10-game-run and some handoffs make you think he's an upgrade lol, especially since he's looking for around 30M as well.

 

[JBond]

This is just getting annoying

Sign the guy or trade him on the tag. I almost don't even care anymore. Just do something so us dumb fans can focus on arguing about the draft.

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

Ok but Dak isn’t a old guy and he wasn’t drafted high. And when I say pay cut I mean he shouldn’t take less than market value.

What is market value for Dak? See, that's the problem right?

None of those guys had Jason Garrett as head coach either.

Goff and Wentz show you his market value.

 

[Rayman70]

yup..I am to the point of either sign him or trade him.tired of the jackassery.

Bruh jus delete your account. tannehill won a playoff game while attempting like 8 passes lol.

I didn't see where the other poster suggested anything at all about Tannehill, other then to say that he got to the playoffs and Dak didn't. Unless, of course, I have missed something. Also, I haven't seen any contract demands from Tannehill suggesting he make 30 mil. I don't think he gets that. JMO

 

[rnr_honeybadger]

Yep... We're signing away our Superbowl chances as it is with these contract offers.

Jerry is going to do exactly what I expected him to do..

They already did that when they signed Zeke to that record breaking contract and Demarcus Lawrence to that ridiculous contract.
