Would the Patriots have given Dak the deal he wants?

No.

They wouldn't have.

Brady always played on a team friendly deal and he's won 17 Superbowls.

Oh, and yes, I'm aware we are not the Patriots and not anything close to them.

Maybe this is the step towards the Patriot way. Still have a long ways to go, but at least it's a step.

Brady did not take team friendly deals until after he got married to someone worth double his net worth.

Incorrect.

Very correct. You can go look up his contract. His first extension was pretty early on when they got him when he had really proven himself yet. His second extension he got paid. By his 3rd extension he had married someone worth double his net worth, but by all means do not let facts get in the way of your argument.

Also, if you set the bar at "be like Brady or no deal" then you are going to not have a starting QB for any real stretch of time.

Only 1 GM would give Dak 30 million and its the one whose team hasn't been to an NFL Championship game the last 25 years!!:omg:

You are right. The other 10 who will be in the bidding in 2 years will be offering 40.

Brady's first massive deal was in 2010. After he had won 3 superbowls in 2002, 2004, and 2005.

Get your facts straight and do some research before posting false information.

Apples and oranges.

Brady never asked to be the highest paid player (or QB) in the league BEFORE he won a Super Bowl like Dak did.

It doesn't matter what Brady asked for. All that matters were the deals that actually got done.

He didn't become the highest paid qb until 2010 after getting 3 rings and played on bargain contracts during those years.

Sure it does. It changes everything.

If it doesn't, whats the sense of this thread because Dak never got his deal.

The thread was intended to prove that Dallas handled the situation like the Patriots organization would have. And in no case should Dallas had broken the bank for a QB that hasn't come close to a Superbowl appearance.

Get your facts straight and do some research before posting false information.

And his first extension was in 2005 when he had not shown he was much more than the QB of a team with great defenses (literally the deal I referenced). He did not really have those Tom Brady years until they got that crazy offense with Moss and then they drafted their TEs and suddenly he is looking that great. So again, I have the facts, you might want to check yours.

Brady didn't take a discount though. He came in and won a Super Bowl but he'd barely been a starter. I don't look at that contract in '02 as Brady giving a discount. That contract is comparable to the one Foles got after his Super Bowl run. The contract he signed in '05 made him the highest in the league.
