He's not worth 35 IMO but that was what was reportedly offered. So no, he's definitely not worth 38 or 39. I mean, how has that become a real question, I don't get it. I hear these mediots say things like this all the time. Is a guy who has a sub .500 record worth record money? It's not really that hard a question to answer for me but I look at it differently.
I'm not against signing him, I believe that under the right deal, there is a chance for Dak to win here. I believe there is zero chance if we sign the wrong deal. JMO
5 million over 4 years is 20 million. That's roughly 11.4% of the project salary cap for 2021. It's 25 million on a 5 year deal, which would work out to 14.2% and that's above and beyond what the actual offer on the table counts against the cap. What's a few more mil right? What can you buy to help the team with 20 to 25 mil? Take that 25 mil and then think about what the team might be able to do if they are paying out 27 to 30 rather then 35 or 40. What might the team be able to do with that kind of money?
Question, if you have a saw buck on you but the price is 12 dollars, then does it really matter? You don't have 12 dollar, you got 10. That's the answer to the question.
