When? I have not seen any reports that 37/year was ever offered during the negotiation last summer until the 11th hour. Before that the Cowboys were dug in at 35/year and < $100 million guaranteed. All the reports during the summer highlighted how much of a slight it was that the Cowboys were offering less guaranteed money than Goof and Wince. This narrative that they were offering him "top dollar" all along is revisionist history. And to honest since none of the numbers were actually publicized, it's all guesswork anyway. We will know the real numbers when the deal gets done. Until then people throwing out "I heard it was.." carries zero value for me. YMMV.
I already told you when. Last year. It was reported that the Cowboys were willing to go as high as 37 AAV for a five year deal. I mean, you said it in your post above.

You are essentially admitting that it was offered last year.
Hello!
BTW, you are one of the biggest "throw it out there" people on this entire board. Goff and Wentz are gone so don't talk to me about anything having to do with their contracts. That's stupidity at it's height.
So, last year, the 110 guaranteed would have been tied for 1st with Watson, who has 110 guaranteed, but lets say it was only 100, that still would have been tied for second with Ryan. Mahomes doesn't count unless Dak wants to agree to a 10 year deal, which he won't do.
AAV of 37 would have been third in the league.
What exactly are you complaining about here? What I said is true and btw, Dak isn't signing an extension so even comparing his contract to Watson's is unequal to begin with. He had a very good offer in front of him and he and his agent elected not to sign it. As I said, all deals are not necessarily made to be done. Bring an offer to the team and help facilitate a trade if you don't want to play in Dallas.
But stop crying about what Dak won't sign. He has gotten more then fair "Market Value" offers. He has elected not to sign them. That's on him.
