All of this angst over Prescott and his salary to be, why does anyone care that's not paying it? Do you see a better option at QB to win now? Not in the future, win now with this team?
The thinking that he cuts a deal and they'll spend that on D studs, where does that come from? They've been the smallest spenders on salaries since 2016. They brought in Quinn who was fine as a pass rusher but not a good run defender and they went 8-8. They traded for him, they didn't go big in FA for him. They're not players in FA.
I don't care what they pay anybody, that's not football, that's not even a sport. This cap management stuff is utter nonsense.
I want my team to have the best possible players beginning with the ones I know about that have already shown it. That's why I want to keep Prescott, Cooper and Jones because I don't know the options and I think they give this team it's best chance to turn things back north.
If you are concerned about the future, that's different but I am not. I only care about this season and I have no idea what's going to happen to that cap or QB salaries but I suspect both are going up considerably.
I don't care if Prescott is the highest paid QB or Cooper as the WR or Jones as the CB because comparing them to others and salary comparing is ridiculous, we do not have access to those players. They are either worth keeping or they or not or they have a reasonable option to replace them. And there is no rookie at those 3 positions that is going to be as good as those 3 players.
These negotiations have taken over the forum and we're spending more time on the evil of the game, the money, than the game itself. You going to watch these players cash game checks or play on the field?
If you feel there are better options, FOR THIS SEASON, than these 3 players, that is one thing but money isn't the factor. This team is loaded to go hunting now, that's why this HC was hired, to turn this north and win now. Are they a true contender? Not sure but any one of those 3 players is removed makes it tougher.
This forum is supposed to be about football, not economics.
The reason is people are judgmental, they all like to be judge judy and decide whats right and how it should be.
Their OPINION is right and everyone that has different Opinion is wrong.
Many here would make great dictators and horrible bosses lol.
Also nfl star players salary's are ridiculous, and people just wonder how they can scoff at 30 mil a year.
Players are greedy, most of them , but again that is human nature too.
I think the jones boys are being cheap, always wanting a bargain, and at same time dak is being a little greedy .
What they should do is decide what % of Cap should go to various positions, and then not go over that.
As for dak, he is concerned about cap going up and he is stuck at a certain pay, so why not pay him a % of cap, and as cap goes up
his pay goes up to keep it at that %. That to me would be fair.
Guaranteed money should only be Guaranteed if the player is injured and cant play anymore, some players just stop playing at high level
and still get the Guaranteed money.
The jones boys are in control, and will decide all this, so I will just wait and see what they do, and how it works out.
To truly judge dak and the other players, I want to see them play 1 year under mm and new coaches.
I do think it is a mistake to let jones go.
