Cowboys need to resign Dak before Baker and Josh Allen reset the market

[Loso86]

Josh Allen and even Baker Mayfield are expected to command north of 38~40 million per year.

These are quarterbacks who both have career passer ratings over 10 ENTIRE points less than Dak (although Josh Allen has been improving)

That laughable 40 million per year price tag is going to be considered a steal in just 1 to 2 off seasons

I doubt these guys end up making more them the former SB MVP

 

[KJJ]

Can't agree. I think his value goes down if he doesn't continue improving and the team doesn't start winning.

If he continues playing to the level we saw this season he’ll get paid. He’s not the reason we’re not winning. Romo was coming off 8-8 seasons when he signed his big contract extension.

Allen and Mayfield are obviously far more advanced than Dak,, I feel kind of sorry for Dak for taking too long to accept a great deal to get payed top money but greed and ignorance interupted the process.. the deal was there and we would have never seen Dak cry.
Dak Cried because he missed his deal.

 

[ShaneFalco]

Watson was overpaid.

Kirk got 28. I really don't comprehend what your point is. Is he happy losing?

Kirk Cousins got 84 MILLION FULLY GUARANTEED. LOL
Then he signed a 66 MILLION extension.

Are you kidding me?
Dak knows he will get his money.

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Don’t be stupid because other teams are stupid..

Drafting QBs is the way to go.

In an ideal vacuum where you're picking in the top three sure but the reality is that in order to do it successfully you need to suck enough in order to be able to get the top five pick in a year where there's decent quarterbacks available and you still only have about a 50% success rate.

if you're trying to pick outside of the top five then you your success rate goes down to about 25%.

the reality is is that you going through those seasons in order to get those draft picks would have you pulling your hair out.

 

[Verdict]

Here’s a link stating Jackson will surely be in the 40 million neighborhood and Allen will be at least 35 and up pushing that boundary also.

I’m not sure why fans think the market will remain stagnate over the next couple years. It goes up practically every year.

It’s why some of the best QB’s in the league aren’t top paid because they haven’t had a recent contract. The largest contracts are usually the most recent.

Fans are naive if they think the Bar has been set for years to come with Mahomes contract .

Well, to be fair it SHOULD be the ceiling because Mahomes is arguably the best QB in the NFL.

 

[Adreme]

Who said anything about giving up so much draft capitol? Quarterbacks can be found throughout the draft so why settle for giving Dak an overpriced contract simply because you are worried that you may not find an improvement? This team is more than a QB away from being a contender.

Finding a QB in the draft who is good enough is a 1 in 3 chance at best (I can cite the most recent 10 years of data) which means on average you are looking at 3 first round picks to find one and of course several years because you generally want to give at least 2 years in between.

Yes the team needs more than a QB so having to spend multiple first round picks trying to find one is a bad plan (although having a good QB makes it harder to draft at the top of the draft and find that top tier talent which usually is how that "window" exists).

I think Jerry is holding out until he can make Dak the 1st $billion Man.

 

[blueblood70]

Dak can still get 33ish. However, IMO, if he doesn't agree this time, his value will start going down. My opinion.

i agree i cap him at 35 and move on...

 

[Diehardblues]

Watson was overpaid.

Kirk got 28. I really don't comprehend what your point is. Is he happy losing?

How do we know that ?

 

[Diehardblues]

Well, to be fair it SHOULD be the ceiling because Mahomes is arguably the best QB in the NFL.

I understand but that’s not how the market always works.

Wilson was top paid in 2019, Ryan before that then Stafford in previous seasons.

 

[Diehardblues]

i agree i cap him at 35 and move on...

35 was the ceiling last year. It’s probably gone up this year closer to 40.

 

[Diehardblues]

What do you think Jackson will sign for? Prob more than 40.

The Bar is not set by who we think is the best QB.

 

[blueblood70]

35 was the ceiling last year. It’s probably gone up this year closer to 40.

sorry i still say its 35..the ownership doesnt have to overpay many payers like brees, rivers, Brady, tannehill, wentz, goff garropollo and others are making under 35 and that is Daks market..just because other owners like Texans decide to overpay player doesnt mean they all have to market is what you fall into not the top because if that were true dak and Watson would have got Mahomes money and they didn't..your market falls in COMPS with LIKE players with similar numbers and Stats its not the next guy up or we would have 32 qbs making 40mil ..market fallacy..they can TRY but doesnt make it happen when negotiations heat up thats why daks still under a FT..

if he wants 40 plus and plays hardball im NEFT and hes here one last year and im done as GM just DONE

 

[Diehardblues]

Go back and review the top paid QB’s in the league over last several years.

It’s not in pecking order of who’s best but rather more about most recent contracts. Which has been the case for a long time in the NFL.

Yeah.. That’s why you should continue to sign the Andy Dalton’s of the world who get similar results to Dak for a percentage of the cost instead of forfeiting yourself into mediocrity just because everyone else is doing it.

 

[CowboyoWales]

If he continues playing to the level we saw this season he’ll get paid. He’s not the reason we’re not winning. Romo was coming off 8-8 seasons when he signed his big contract extension.

Not the reason, but also he's not the solution.

Your Romo reference is actually the reason why we shouldnt repeat the mistake, we paid him (when we had a non-championship winning team) and then paid for it in dead cap.

How do we define over paying?

Mahomes isn’t the bar. You might think it is only because he received a new contract but there will be QB’s paid more than him. And probably beginning next year.

The current market is out of control..

So basically every QB getting paid that isn’t elite.

So now Jethro and the Cowboys are going to set the new standard in the NFL by walking away from their Franchise QB. Lol

And they’re good with going Dalton over Dak. Ok
We’ll see what level mediocre that brings us.
