Because, by God, If they were honorable men, they would play for less just to wear the star on their helmet.That isn't a "belief" its FACT. If you want to retain players you pay over market value. Otherwise, how else would you retain them? When you see a deal done you aren't seeing the player take beneath what they'd accept. You are seeing what both sides came to agree to.
if the Cowboys were willing to do four years like every other current starting QB contract then im sure the deal would have been done.4 years 135 million, 108 million guaranteed. 32, 33, 34, and 36 million are the annual cal hits. Then throw in contract escalators for playoff wins, nfc championship, and super bowl that would in theory make him the highest paid QB. Heck Dak loves to bet on himself so maybe even lower total contract and more escaltors for making playoyes, etc.
They are just being stubborn and refusing to go by industry standards
