The first sentence was "Dak wants out of Dallas and that's why he didn't sign his contract". That isn't evidence, that's just a statement borne from opinion. I'm looking for evidence that the reason he didn't sign a contract is because he wants out of Dallas.
It’s just not about economics. Also, if it was about economics, Dak and his agent should be taking into account how much extra money he will make being the Cowboys QB.
4th, since you forgot.
He easily would have passed Moore, but sure, Romo would have held the job longer without the injury problems. That doesn't somehow change that Dak has been a great value the last 4 years. He has far exceeded his draft status and paycheck.
I’m a big Dak supporter and have been since the beginning. I want him to be resigned. Having said that, his contract demands are bordering on the ridiculous. I’d make him a final offer of whatever the FO is willing to pay, tell him that’s the final offer, and if he doesn’t accept it, he should seek out a trade. I’d either want him signed or traded before the draft.Oh here we go..........
I don't understand the correlation. What Mahomes does has nothing to do with Dak. Is this a way to call Dak selfish? Because you didn't hear a peep from him when he was making 300k a year.
We shouldn’t have heard a peep from him. We drafted him, gave him a chance, and he signed a contract that was appropriate to where he was drafted. Fate intervened and gave him the shot of a lifetime as a rookie. To his credit, he took advantage of it. Had another team drafted him, it’s possible he isn’t even a starter right now. I love Dak and want him to stay with the team, but I also don’t want to sacrifice the future for an outrageous contract. Why should he make more than Wentz or Goff? They’ve had at least as much success and they were in the same draft class. The fact that he’s next does not mean he should be paid substantially more than them.
Man are you serious? Whether you like DAK or not this is a business. Your agent is there to get you the most money possible. Dak wanted the tag because he knows there are 2 other QBs next year that are going to get paid north of 38-40 million a year. I don't understand how anyone can blame Dak when Cowboys management sat on their thumbs while Goff and Wentz deals set the market. For 4 years they paid this guy PEANUTS. Wentz and Goff have been paid nearly 25M more in these 4 years. GET YOUR MONEY DAK!!!!
Well, Wentz took his team into the playoffs and to a Super Bowl. Yes, I’m aware he was injured near the end of the season and didn’t play in the playoffs, but he had the season that got them there. Goff took his team to a Super Bowl as well. I’m not bashing Dak at all. As I said, I want him signed, but not for $40 mil per season. Hell no! I don’t mind him getting a bit more than the other two QBs, but no where near that much more. Stats don’t win games. The one knock I have against Dak is he has completely disappeared at times. See our last game of last season. But, I still want to sign him on a “fair” and non-crippling contract. We should’ve used the nonexclusive franchise tag on him so he could’ve seen his market value.
That's not how the market works.
By the way, you do realize contracts can’t be redone for a certain amount of time, right.
It’s how I would play it. Being next should never mean you get paid the most.
How much more money will he make being the Cowboys QB as opposed to some other team's QB?
Did Ryan Tanneyhill reset the market in the last week? No. He was next, but he didn’t get paid the most. I’m not saying he’s better than Dak, but if as you say, “that’s how the market works” I guess he should’ve gotten over $35 mil per year. He didn’t get close. Just being next doesn’t mean you should be paid the most. Hell, Brees just signed for $25 mil per year.
That wasn't my point, but keep repeating "next up."
