Honestly, my patient starting to run real thin with Dak and France and I'm 100% pro-Dak.
You got it right with the last sentence. This has nothing to do with Dak wanting to know that he is "their guy", it's about going back into FA again as soon as possible so he can cash in. I do not want to pay Dak anywhere near $40m/yr. He's just not worth it from what I have seen. Tag him, trade him, roll with someone else. This team needs an overhaul on defense which, while not impossible, is definitely harder to do with a highly paid QB.
Just read a tweet that as of today, they can't even afford to tag him.......so you're right, something got to give.

Yea except for the team it takes away leverage and multiple optionsI don't believe that having language included excluding the use of another franchise tag is an unreasonable ask by Prescott and his people. Nor is asking for the inclusion of a no trade clause as well.
If he is "your" guy, commit to him. They have played their hand regarding him since his rookie year. So, as long as the numbers are reasonable enough to still have room to field a talented team around him, and the years are agreeable enabling the team to spread his cap hit...add the language and get it over with. If he isn't your guy...tag and trade him and move on.
As an aside, knowing he wants this language leads me to presume that Prescott won't budge on wanting a shorter deal so he can test the market again sooner rather than later.
You couldn't give him a deal then that Dak would have signed.I will never forgive the Cowboys for not getting a deal with Dak done in 2018.
No athlete is worth millions, much less $40 mill.
I think as a last resort they can tag him and will if need be, it will require restructuring of some current deal but I do think they can if push comes to shove. However I tend to think that something will be done longterm but as always the devil is in the details of a contract
Actually, if the floor is where they left off last year, getting the long-deal done now shouldn't be that hard.
I’ll bet you a case of Shiner he doesn’t cave.Dak and the Cowboys are fighting over leverage.
I thought all along Dak plays on the Tag after the injury. Now he has to prove he can still play at a high level. I think Dak will cave, the injury changed everything.
Really messy
I watched the replay of the Falcons game in week 2 and he makes some really s****y throws to wide open guys. It’s time to part ways and do something different.If this begins to drag out as it did last year, I hope some talking head asks this question.
If Prescott was really going to sign the deal last year but the deadline beat him, what's the hold up? Are they offering substantially less? Or was that a fabrication to make him look better to the fans?
I believe him, because I do not believe him to be that type of person, so I think this deal gets done quickly but Booger will try to max the media jabber before they do it. That's as important as getting him signed to him.
I grew impatient with Jerry and co. when they let this happen. The longer they prolong this the more outrageous the demands will get. Though I'll be honest as of right now I don't think what they are asking for is that crazy.Honestly, my patient starting to run real thin with Dak and France and I'm 100% pro-Dak.
No argument there.Well obviously. But if you look at the situation objectively, you see both sides are kind of in a bind. One has to budge, and neither has shown any inclination to do that
I have no problem with that either.I watched the replay of the Falcons game in week 2 and he makes some really s****y throws to wide open guys. It’s time to part ways and do something different.
