If Dak deserved to get paid on past performance, than Zeke deserved way more than Dak for carrying the latter. And Zeke was being paid because he was considered the engine behind the Dallas offense, which is why they would sit him in games to end the end season to rest while Dak played.
Further, Dak was well aware that NFL revenue was going up especially via gambling revenue. He basically stated at the time that him getting money, doesn’t preclude Zeke or Amari from getting paid. So Dak didn’t need to take a ‘hometown’ discount per his words.
He’s right. Salary cap is just done number the owners come up with, that they can maneuver if they want. I don’t hate any of them for ‘setting the market’. The owners can follow suit and set the market by upping the salary cap.
The reality is, why call Dak greedy, while ignoring the owners who don’t even reveal the books. Jerry bought a 400 million dollar yacht and he hasn’t done Jack squat to make the Cowboys relevant on the field for the last 26 plus years.
I don’t hate Dak for the contract. We all negotiate for better salaries. I just thinks he “sucks” as a QB.
