Broaddus criticizes front office for Prescott contract

Gee thanks for telling us what we already knew. Nothing like that breaking news from an NFL insider

 

[AmericasTeam81]

So basically the Cowboys are locked in with Dak for another 3 years?

 

[DonaldM]

Good point morat

 

[JBS]

Broaddus is saying they should have signed Dak earlier and it would have been cheaper. Having Dak at a cheaper price wouldn’t make a difference. Just like it didn’t make a difference when he was making peanuts.

 

[RS12]

Prepare for the Prescott plunge protection to come out in force.

 

[Fletch]

Like I said in a different thread, we’re reactive, and never proactive.

Absolutely.

If you couldn't win with him on a rookie contract what difference does it make if he's getting 32 or 40 million a year? You're screwed either way.

On the flip side, at least we have a franchise QB.

No different from the Ezekiel Elliott defenders racing to protect him despite the fact that he's been in decline since 2017.

 

[Reality]

Broaddus apparently had no internet or media access last year.

 

[JBS]

Absolutely.

This is correct. Even if he was at 25 they wouldn’t win dick

 

[Risen Star]

This is apparently old news.

My apologies.

 

[Risen Star]

Sometimes old news is just news you don't like.

So you are calling out Broaddus for not calling out the insanity of giving Dak a 40 million dollar contract sooner?

 

[JBS]

I’m willing to bet this team couldn’t win with Mahomes right now on a rookie contract

 

[Manwiththeplan]

fwiw...this is what most of us were screaming in 2018 or so.

Players are ineligible for extensions until after three years, so at the conclusion of 2018 was the earliest a deal could get done

And whether you like Dak or not, realistically our options then were sign him long term or blow things up and tank

In fact...we had a tremendous amount of leverage. He was set to make less than $2.1 million which was cheap for a *back up* QB

All we had to do was sign him right after Goff and Wentz...same deal. Maybe a bit more but include a bump in his 2019 salary as a kicker to get him to sign.

And for anyone who hates Dak...a 4 or 5 year deal then would mean we were in the final year or two of his deal as opposed to being locked in for the foreseeable future

Maybe, but the problem is it's bad accounting either way

Probably true Steven A... Accident waiting to happen.

well what bother me most is they wait so long because they had big time doubts about dak and knew he was not a “the man” franchise qb (remember jerry talk about how they have to make the whole offense “dak friendly” so he can be sucesful...like if u know that why would u pay some one like that 20% of the salary cap it make zero sense) and they still pay him
