Twitter: Prescott to sign franchise tender

[McKDaddy]

I’m pretty sure there’s no signing bonus with franchise tag.

No, players contract are divided up into 16 game checks. Of course any sponsorship revenue they have outside the team is still coming in.

one overlooked aspect is how much is the NFL getting off the copyright for the sports networks to rebroadcast old games to fill air time during all this?

Unprecedented times if games or season is lost. I'm guessing they will find compromises outside the normal way of doing things.

It became a glaring public opinion hurdle to overcome near the end of this season is what I’m referring to.

A, fair point. Still, I think you can agree that Jerry usually likes to milk as much publicity as possible.

He is if Dak doesn't get his butt into camp

And why would Prescott not get his butt in the camp.

 

[gjkoeppen]

Yea, Jerry was going to cave all along. He’s just been presenting a tough guy persona to appeal to the pushback.

Jerry’s comfortable with making Dak the highest paid QB and if anyone can sell it he can. He’s been all in all along.

But this is going to put more pressure on Dak and he’s going to receive more criticism.

Your crystal ball assumptions could only be true if both Jones and Prescott had a secret meeting before last season was over where they both agreed to what has already and going to happen. It went something like this. Jones said I'm going to tag you and then you get angry. Prescott said ya I can say I won't report to camp if you do that. Then Jones said ya that will make us both look like tough guys, you by sitting out and me for not blinking. The Jones said around the end of June you sign the tag offer and Prescott said ya that will make you look like a really really tough guy. Then they both agreed this will make the fans want to create countless threads every day about our tough guy approach to your contract negotiations. We'll really show them.

Prescott has played a weak schedule every season until 2019, at which time he finally faced defenses that were not in complete disarray.
Each year I watched as the East grew weaker, and then in 2019 the NFC as a whole was finally back to strength in at least a marginal degree.
Prescott played great against teams that were more broken than the Cowboys- and that's why he had success.
But when the pressure was on- and 2019 proved this- Prescott was sub par.
If you are a Cowboys fan, you should care about this.

Prescott has played a weak schedule. The entire NFL plays a week schedule. There’s only four or five teams right now they are good and it constantly changes. Silly excuses stop with them you can’t win when you’re wrong. Prescott beat Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh. And how many quarterbacks can say they beat Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay. You really don’t get it. you think you do but you don’t

Probably little or none. When they started doing that there was a huge question on whether or not there would be a 2020 season so to keep the interest up and to keep fans excitement levels up for the 2020 season they chose to let a couple of networks air some of those games. It's not like the league and their employees in the home office aren't minimum wage earners and struggling with money problems. The league can weather this even if there is no season. I though the league would play a season, maybe starting later, but now with players testing positive without any full practices with full contact I'm not so sure that the NFLPA will go along with playing this season.

Ya all of the THIRTEEN teams the Cowboys beat in 2016 were those weak teams. The Cowboys got to the playoffs in 2018 by just beating weak teams. It's obvious you're a Prescott hater and that hate has blinded you to reality.

I'm 100 percent in favor of him playing on the franchise tag this year (and wanted that from the beginning). Give McCarthy a year to work with him up close and personal and figure out if he's worth the big-money, long-term deal. It's likely that that answer is going to be yes, but I think the team should be absolutely sure before giving Prescott what he wants.

Now, McCarthy may have already seen enough as an outside observer to have complete confidence in Dak, but I think he should work side-by-side with him for a season first.

 

[gimmesix]

Somebody's afraid of letting DiNucci get a head start this summer.

Thirty-one other starting quarterbacks are just glad their teams didn't draft him.

Don't want to agree with this but I do. Your last sentence will have the ultimate trickle down effect towards a 6-10 season. McCarthy out by year 3 and usher in the Kellen Moore era. History repeats itself with another of "Jerry's Guys" and coach in training.
If Prescott is signed long term, the 8-8, 9-7 and 10-6 yrs of the past will be longed for. The rookie 13-3 will be proven as the fluke it was. Its coming. At least it will be entertaing here, lol. The team will pay the ultimate price as a non competitive farce for 3 years and the footnote of Daks signing will often be referred to as "The Mistake." Get ya popcone reddy.

That my friend is some Diehard Blues.

I don’t believe it unfolded like that at all.

I’m not really into predicting doom and gloom just about reporting on it , the suspected instincts we had going in , the effects and of course potential solutions.

I don't either but for your assumptions that is how it would have had to play out. Like I said and you obviously didn't read is for "Your crystal ball assumptions could only be true if both Jones and Prescott had a secret meeting before last season was over where they both agreed to what has already and going to happen."

Of course but the point was he can be influenced by fierce public opinion and persuaded to go against his instincts.

No, that was your interpretation. I didn’t claim it was intentional at all. Perhaps that just plays more into your perception.

LOL - this is the best you can do - claiming Dak played against nothing but bottom defenses in "complete disarray" his first 3 seasons?

Very minimal revenue if any for NFL from broadcasting old games. The revenue generated from such broadcast is mostly for the networks from sponsors advertising.

The tag Dak is signing is worth around $33M. He's getting paid.

For one year, and after he exposes himself further, we won't be stuck with him for many years.

I'm willing to bet of he stays on the tag, and we have no dedication to him, Dalton will start by week 7-8. That's how bad he will be.

#DontpayDak

#Dakgettingpaid

When he exposes himself this season, please keep this same energy, and remember I told you so.

I see you're a reporter now and as a reporter you had some interviews with Jerry and Stephen and then talked to Prescott and his agent as well as former GM's to get their take on this as part of your reporting. Or maybe what you're calling reporting is nothing more than your opinions.
