This.
In five years, $45,000,000.00 will be the average salary for starting QBs.
The difference there is Zeke actually is a top tier player in the league at his position. Dak isn't. I like Dak, but he is who he is.
I could care less about a player in the league wanting his money, I'm just saying the Jones boys are doing a good job creating this narrative that Dak and his agent are trying to lampoon this team, as well as using the media on their behalf during this negotiation.

I just don't get how anyone can sit here and say oh well the salary cap is going up and just pay Dak. You can sit there and negotiate for something that you forsee that hasn't happened. Dak wants out Dallas and its probably because he feels so disrespected. He needs to be Kapernicked for being so freaking greedy.
The 5th year is so they can divide the contract amount by the number of years to get a smaller per year charge for the figuring who gets paid what.I really don't get why were insisting on the the 5th year.
I mean if Dak is bad for 2 years you can cut him sooner and with only 2 years left on his contract.
If he's great in those 4 years it means we've most likely won a SB and then nobody is gonna mind paying him.
Front load the guaranteed money and lets go. Dak isn't getting the money he wants anywhere out there in FA.
I’m a huge Dak fan but this is just gross. Turning down 35 million and insisting on insane contract demands is starting to leave a bad taste in my mouth.
Have a look at the real world Dak, see how it looks right now, then tell me how getting 35 million a year to throw a ball sounds like.
All this is going to do is cripple the team then we’re going no where for another 5 years.
How is 2mil more a year going to "cripple the team"?I’m a huge Dak fan but this is just gross. Turning down 35 million and insisting on insane contract demands is starting to leave a bad taste in my mouth.

I'm just here to watch the world burnIt will be a holiday on CowboysZone the day Jones and Prescott agree on a new contract.
A holiday of horror.
Exactly. Perfect analogy.kinda like the guy who doesn't really wanna sell his corvette but if you stupid enough pay him 200K, sold.
Except $45 won't be ridiculous for a franchise QB in 5 years.
Finally, the ClappingCarrot is starting to make sense for the Pappy....WOOF WOOF!!!!

Wentz and Goff came into the league exactly when Dak did, and their contracts will end 4 years into Dak's new contract. Dak isn't in the same position because there was no fifth-year option on his rookie contract, which is because of the way the league and draft are structured, not anything to do with him. W's and G's contracts will end in 4 years: same overall period of team control through rookie and follow-on contract (if Dak signs a 4-year deal). Dak is asking to be put on the level and schedule of those two guys.
I do not know what the team offered him in terms of an extension last year. If it was a 5-year extension (putting him on schedule with Wentz and Goff) for equivalent money, then yeah, there's an argument that he should have been willing to sign then to avoid putting the team in a more challenging cap situation. If it wasn't, then that argument isn't there.
I am grasping everything. You’re making a broad assumption about what I do and don’t understand about Dak’s motivation based on one comment I made.
Obviously it’s a negotiating tactic. That’s all well and good.
I’m simply pointing out that people are freaking out about a base salary that he is asking for that will be at the end of his contract and won’t be guaranteed. Even if he did sign that deal, he probably gets extended, or cut prior to that season anyway and would never see the 45 mil for the season. Unless his play warranted it and the cowboys wanted to pay it.
I wasn’t discussing Dak’s negotiating motivation for asking for that 45. I was talking about the future cap
Implications of a non guaranteed high base salary 5 years from now.
All of this is probably moot anyway because this is based off one report by Fisher and likely won’t be the final number anyway.
You really have to start reading. He wants 45mil in the 5th year ONLY. Which equals to +2mil a year.The 45 million a year he wants now? Yeah, that might do it don’t ya think?
Tell me how teams who’ve made their QBs the highest paid in the league have done?
I’ll sit here and wait.
