No, I wouldn't...……….honest answer.

But correct me if I am wrong, but were Aikman or Romo ever the highest paid players in the league, even when they signed new deals?

I dont think so...………….neither one of them ever demanded what Dak is demanding now.
Romo was paid the higest GTD and Aikman was the highest paid period in 93 and 99.

If Fish report is true would be 5yr 175m. If the 106m GTD is true that would be 60% of his total contract GTD, That is ****. Lol Even if you go north of Goff and go high, and say its 115m, its still only 65% and that is still ****. Wentz got 84% of his total contract GTD and Goff got 82%. If they just go under that on Dak with 80% GTD it would be 140m GTD, far off from 106m or even 115.

If they want to reset that market back down to what Wilson got 76%, Rogers 73%, and give Dak under that with 70%, it would still be 123m GTD. Hell, Tannehill just got 77% and that would put Daks at 135m GTD. So unless the GTD is AT LEAST 123m GTD, its not worth Dak to sign a 5 yr deal

If Fish report is true and its a 35m a yr with 106m GTD and its just about they years, then that says Dak is fine with the 106m GTD but wants it on a 4yr deal, which is fair. Its under market(Goff&Wentz) on the % of GTD and under market on the $s. That would put the % at 75% which was the market was before Goff and Wentz deals and still lower % than what Tannehll just signed. Its lower in $s than Wilson, Wentz and Goff. So if hes ok with that, and from this report he is, just wants it on a 4yr deal not a 5, then the Cowboys are holding this up by wanting a 5yr deal that puts it way under market on the GTD.

Stop paying attention the "sexy" total contract number and avg annual. The 106m GTD on 5yr deal is pure ****. If he takes it on a 4yr deal, its still under market in both % of total contract GTD and the overall $s.

Interesting info, thanks for posting it.

If this is the case, I could see Dak's problem with it. What the Cowboys should do is lower the AAV to $30-$32 and just guarantee more of the contract as a percentage.

Yup. The 5th year should require a lot more gtd.

Every Cowboys fan, ESPECIALLY THE DAK CONTRACT CRITICS, need to read this!!!!!!! ^^^^

The problem is not Dak. It's Jerry and Stephen.

I get why he would not sign that offer. He gets more doing nothing for the next 2 seasons than if he signs that deal and that does not count the two following seasons where he could then get substantially more than that. I do get why Dallas would make it their opening offer though. Its not insulting but not a deal he would agree to.

The issue is this isn't their opening offer. They been going at this for almost two years.

I mean yes but the numbers change as the status quo changes. The new contract negotiation numbers only really started this offseason. The moment they tagged him and his earnings over the next 4 years were basically guaranteed to be by far the highest in the league, the numbers shifted again.

Just because the rams and Eagles made horrible contract mistakes on wentz and Goff doesn't mean we have too. I'm sure both teams would love to redo those contracts.

Forget the stats good or bad, Dak hasn't shown the capability to lift this team up...period.... He's surrounded by ridiculous talent. No need to pay the man now. Let's see what he can do under good coaching.

No team is going to give him what he wants or what dallas has already offered
