His cap hit is (2021)17.5m
(2022) 34m, (2023) 45m (2024), 48m with a chance to get out in 2024 that last year.

Can anyone confirm the above is correct?
I'm curious PD, you clearly are not a Dak fan and would rather we hadn't signed him long term. You equally are not happy at how much finance has been tied up in him but my question is this, IF in the next 4 seasons, Dallas wins a super bowl or two, would you relent and soften your stance towards him or would the hate continue?

I have wondered if quarterbacks should be treated differently regarding the number of years they are under team control and their salary when they are drafted to keep them from wrecking teams payroll.

By the time they are good quarterbacks, a team has to pay team-wrecking money to keep them or start
over with a new one.

Maybe they should be under team control for seven years regardless of draft round but at a higher base pay.

This dude uses Dak as a way to get attention from you guys.
Who knows or cares how he really feels. He goes quiet when Dak plays well and starts chirping anytime we lose or Dak doesn't play as well/.

He doesnt have the ability to feel differently since anything he says is just schtick anyway and his way of trying to get attention. He probably is some fat nerd that never got attention from women and this makes him feel relevant. Just another internet troll.

Very low cap hit this year and why when fans call him a 40 million QB it isn’t actually correct. It varies significantly over time. But the Cap hit percentage will vary by years pending collective bargaining agreement.

And in 2022 the Cap is expected to increase significantly in the 25 million range due to historical Network TV deal reached this year.

In 2021 the Cap actually decreased for first time due to decrease in revenue caused by Pandemic.

And by 2023 the NFLPA is expected to renegotiate their percentage to include part of the stadium revenue . And why Prescott insisted on just a 4 year deal. Expect him to renegotiate in 2023.

Currently their share is based primarily on ticket sales and TV revenue.

This is the only thing I hate about Dak!
What’s there to hate. Nobody held a gun to Jethro’s head. We had ample time with Dak on Franchise Tag to look for another alternative .

Dak negotiated the best deal for himself. In the end the Cowboys will dump him like anyone else . Fans often forget this is always a business first.

If we really believe he’s over paid then that’s a slam on our front office not Prescott.

So looking at this we are with all certainty going to lose Gallup. I believe Gregory is up as well right?

We have probably 15 other free agents including Gregory, Schultz, Williams, Neal, LVE, Kazee, Hooker, Urban, Armstrong.

We’re losing Gallup because you don’t pay your #3
WR huge money, not because of Dak.

Someone can correct me if I am wrong but they are under team control for 7 years. A first round pick gets a four-year deal, a team option for year 5, and then two reasonable years of franchise tags. The money starts getting expensive in years 6 and 7 with the tag but the team does control the player. I do agree, though, that QB salaries should fall into a category that doesn't wreck the cap. In theory, it would allow other players to get paid as well.

Teams need to put their foot down and stop paying mediocre QBs that much money.

They need to do the same at the RB position. 1 stupid Todd Gurley contract and every team with a good RB starts paying their guy because 1 team screwed up the market.

I have been in the keep Gallup and let Amari go camp. Then I saw our offense without Amari. His precision route running makes the defenses pay more attention to him, which in turn gives all of our other receivers (TE, RB) a greater chance to be open. At this point I think, outside of a miracle, we have to let Gallup go.

They will be able to resign 1-2 guys like Gregory and a few guys like Kearse. They will restructure Dak, Martin, Zeke, Cooper and Smith and free up space. They also restructure or release Lawrence.

I'm a Cowboy fan in SHOCK on how the heck we are going to build an SB champion with those Dak Cap hits........OMG
Superbowl the next 2-4 years taking the above # into consideration and a declining Zeke and offline would be a miracle if it happens!
Sorry just common football sense here.....;)
