The reason Dak isn't signed yet

[Rayman70]

You're not considering contracts. Zeke's contract makes him pretty much untradeable.

yep, your right. That part is complicated...and a big deal.

 

[Rayman70]

extort money? how is he extorting money? that was pretty dumb

what would you call it? This has gone way beyond just business at this point. The agent should be charged for attempted extortion. Of course its tongue and cheek..but you get the point.

 

[CATCH17]

Everyone and their uncle (except a few Dak jock sniffers) know he’s not an elite QB. There is no IF

the only question is whether the Joneses have the backbone to take the proper steps

This is it.

This is where fans are misunderstood. France is serving Daks interest NOT the Cowboys.

And if Cowboy fans can look beyond the trees for the forest they might see that Daks best interest financially might not be in Dallas.

well said. The only caveat would be the enormous endorsements he can get here as opposed to elsewhere.

 

[gjkoeppen]

1. His asking price must be too high again

2. Mike M must not have full faith in him, as does Stephen

Both go hand in hand.

If they thought he was the elite QB, some here believe, he would get whatever. Mike would let it be known, "bro, we need this dude by any means"

I'm not a Dak fan, but ready for this to be over.

Trade him or just out right let him walk.

It's obvious that you're not a Prescott fan with your assumptions you made from the use of your crystal ball, crazy eight ball and your oujia board. There has been zero direct quotes from McCarthy stating that he has any reservations about Prescott, nor has there been any direct quotes from Stephen stating where they are on negotiations. One reason is Stephen doesn't negotiate through the media. This is really going to make you angry but I VERY seriously doubt that Prescott will be traded and only Prescott non-haters know they won't just let him walk.

This is off topic but why can I post new topic on this forum? It shows this at the bottom of my page (You have insufficient privileges to post here.)

 

[pjtoadie]

Aikman not accurate?

You're joking right?

I was going to say the same thing lol. That was one of his strengths.

 

[BrassCowboy]

all he has to do is be patient and he maximizes his contract, as long as others sign. His agent is trying to get him paid the most. If he plays on the tag again, and then signs in free agency next year, he maximizes his earnings. The agent knows this. He knows this.

Well teams need to learn how to let go of loyalty and treat it in a business manner. If Dak costs too much, let him go even if they get nothing in return. Because teams keep giving in is the reason agents keep holding out for more.

 

[panchucko]

if you want to let Dak walk and Sign dalton, then its time to trade Lawrence, Martin, cut Smith, let zeke walk, cut/trade cooper and cash in on Gallup and rebuild....given how much dalton sucks and chances of hitting on a QB is 1 out of 5 and .....that way we assure ourselves the top pick and a chance to find a QB, if by chance that year a good one is coming out.....this year's crop ain't too promising after Lawrence and even Lawrence has warts...

keeping Dalton with current team, will assure us a 4-6 win season and that's a top 10 pick. getting rid of some of the fat, will assure us a 1-3 win season and a chance at the top pick.

Are we afraid to see what another Qb with a full off season and training camp can do with this team

1. The Jones boys don't want to pay the asking price,,, not because it's too high, but because they are too cheap.

2. It has nothing to do with "Mike the Fatman". The guy that signs the checks doesn't have full faith in Dak.

It doesn't matter how elite Dak is or isn't as long as JJ isn't sold on him.

You admit to being a Dak hater but you're not so committed to that cause?

Don't worry, The Jones boys are incompetent enough to screw this up and let Dak walk with the Cowboys having nothing to show for it. You just have to be patient enough to let this thing play out. Dak will play on the tag one more year and then he will walk.

 

[Vinnie2u]

The real reason is the Jones’s don’t want to pay a average QB Elite money.

 

[JoeKing]

The real reason is the Jones’s don’t want to pay an elite QB any money.

FIFY

lol..I hardly doubt its the money its the the length of the contract Inmo, Stephen is stubborn in how they want to do deals, and they feel they must win the deal.

 

[CouchCoach]

This isn't really accurate CC. I can't find any examples of a franchise QB being under contract for less than five years after signing a new contract. Do you have any examples?

All I saw was that they were all 4 year deals and most of those were extended contracts so I don't know the details.

It really doesn't matter, how many of these QB contacts are running by the numbers? I am not aware of any except the tags. If a QB gets hot or another gets more money, see Rodgers, a new deal is in order. And PIT is talking an extension with their QB. Wilson has said he doesn't want a trade but just in case, here's a list of places I'd like to hang my hat. Watson met with his new HC and still wants out, that's some wrecked speed dating right there.

 

[Dre11]

Dak is obviously trying to extort money up front now and the agent is behind it. This is out of character for Dak. I truly do not think its him doing this.He is getting bad advice.

Don't agree, I think Dak wants to come back to the table when the new Tv deal comes in. does the agent want more of course, but Dak is taking a huge risk with the shorter contract.

 

[rnr_honeybadger]

Jerry is really in a no win situation here. He signs Dak to what he is demanding and you can pretty much kiss away any hope of the team being competitive. At which point the same media will crucify him.

If he lets Dak walk the media will crucify him for letting a franchise QB get away.


His only hope is that e hits on one of the young QBs in the draft or is able to pull off a trade that either brings him Russell Wilson or Sam Darnold and then hope that these things pan out because nothing stops the critics like winning.

 

[CouchCoach]

Well even with that being the case. Wouldn't you just give him what he wants, and then in 3 years pay him more because you know he's "elite "

If they felt he was, they'd give into whatever demands. Because they'd know end if the day he puts on his backpack and carries the team

Which he does not

All comes down to options, if not Prescott, then what QB do they get? Watson and Wilson are for teams with an open window and that is not the Cowboys, they're still building the defense with a permanent Under Construction sign up.

they really were 5years technically because a year were left on the old deal.

 

[csirl]

Dak was Garretts QB. MM isnt sold on him. If he was he'd have been extended by now. Its very noticeable how everything changed when MM came on board. Went from Cowboys trying to extend to Dak and his agent banging their heads on a brick wall - getting no response to proposals and, as we've seen on CZ - a PR campaign to get Dak signed. Desparation stuff.

 

[Dre11]

He is betting on himself, yet preventing the team from getting better around him.

Just so he can maybe cash in again....when he can have that money now.

I mean really....what does he think he is going to get in 2024??

50 million a year? 60 million?

Just add that to the end of the 3 year deal he wants now.

No, its not guaranteed but neither is the idea that he will be able to cash in again in three years.

What if he snaps that ankle again and can't play?

What if the league comes up with something to stop these absurd QB salaries?

What if owners simply stop giving out these insane deals?

I'm not at all understanding what he wants in three years that he can't have now.

They didnt spend money to put talent around him when he was on his rookie deal either, so what's the difference? they're cheap
