“This guy is, I'm not going to say that he's a top-five quarterback, but he's the franchise quarterback of the organization, and he's the future of this organization," Woodson said on the "The Jake Asman Show" on SportsMap Radio. "So why not, instead of taking care of all the other players that you've paid, pay the most important player on your football team and make him happy."

Another former player. Guess all these guys are wrong and the guys on here who sell skittles for a living know more about football.

I mean, they all said to pay Zeke too.

People keep talking about Zeke but his deal isn't nearly the hinderance people make it out to be. Granted, when you add up a few other guys yes it is. I could live with Zeke's deal if Lawrence, Jaylon, Crawford and Collins didn't get what they got.

Dak made more money than anyone on the team this year and played 4 games.

quit acting like he made the league minimum and is in need of the stimulus to pay his rent.

What did Dak make prior to this year? You going to pull the “he makes more than all of us” argument? With a Romo picture in your avatar? Lol.

To be fair though, all of these commentators are talking about "pay him the money" but from all information that was leaked about the negotiations, it was not about the money but rather the length of the contract.

The Cowboys wanted 5 years and Dak's agent wanted 4 years.

I still contend that Lawrence is worth it and I'll die on this hill.

I don't see it man.....I just don't. Do I think Lawrence is a good player? I do. But based on production? You could get similar production from someone at half the price AT LEAST. I get it. I'm one of his biggest defenders on this site. Hell I even defend the "Hot Boy" name. But there is no way to convince me that 3 or 4 tackles and a few pressures a game is worth 20 million.

That's a nonsense argument. Every other NFL player that gets hurt still gets paid - that's just how it works, and therefore does not serve as an argument for you.

Neither does the comment about paying his rent. Whether any of these NFL players can survive on less money isn't the issue. The issue is getting paid what a person thinks is fair given the state of the market. Many people could get by with a lower salary, but nobody wants to get paid notably less than their peers.

Here we go again with another announcer with “pay the man”.

It’s kind a like being a volunteer, volunteering someone else.

If you draft college players based on stats you'll get into trouble quick.

You draft them on talent/upside.

Lawrence is about as talented as it gets and his upside is as high as anyone that's every played in this league.
