His selfish team restricting 4 year contract is a major reason this team was hamstrung in the cap.

Prescott refused to give more years in the last contract so the team could at least absorb and keep players and weapons to get you passed the divisional round.

He did this so he could get a second bite at the Apple. Bravo Dak. Thanks!

Would Amari Cooper been around still? Would they have gone after other free agents?

Be a man Dak! You could not get to the Super Bowl with your arm and interceptions.

Sign a 7 year extension give the team some room to help you because you need it.

when has this f/o ever....EVER...gone after free-agents like you suggest?
deion....and thats it.

in the meantime...this deal doesn't prevent a committment to the run.

which,in my opinion...is a bigger problem.

I do not think you understand how contracts work so I am going to help. First, spreading out cap hits via signing bonuses can be done up to a maximum of 5 years so whether a contract is 5 years or 50 years you still can only spread out a signing bonus over 5 years. The second point, because I suspect you are remarking on the fact that he has a 4 year deal and not a 5 year one, is that you can use void years to functionally absorb a signing bonus in the same way. So basically every single option that would be available to lower Dak's yearly cap hit via restructuring is available regardless of how many years the deal is.

Jerry excels at dumb contracts. If we are being fair though view Dak’s through the lense of the Murray and Watson deals. It’s FMV for a QB. If we are complaining about contracts that hurt the team why not focus on the washed up 27 year old RB that averages 2 yards a carry.

From all the opinions that I have been reading from media, that is what they are going to do, extend Dak to free up some money, that is JJ's only option, he made his bed (should have been a sleep number bed) now he cannot even sleep on it. Dak is going to be here for several years. Hey, we all have our cross to bare.

Selfish? Lol. How many sb rosters did our gm assemble with Dak on a rookie contract?

There is nothing selfish about Dak's contract. He did what is best for Dak as almost every player in the league does. They simply get what they can from willing owners. As others have stated, Jerry did not have to sign the deal.

I will say this, the overlooked aspect of Dak's contract is not the money, it is the term. 4 years is the killer because it allows Dak to ask more more in 2025. And, he will get it too! If Dak took $40 million for 8 years I would be a lot let critical of the deal. It was a total cave in by Jerry. The money, the term, the no trade clause, the no franchise tag clause, were all wins for Dak. Jerry lost on every point. The only positive, and it is barely positive, is the agreement to 2 voided year to allow Jerry to spread Dak bloated bonus money out and reduce hi cap. But that is not in any way a negative for Dak.

One could argue that it’s also hurting him as well, since now we are two years into his deal and he’s arguably been playin worse. So if he has another year playing like he did last year, that second bite of the apple is gonna be a green one, and leave him sour faced

That is right. lol. Dak made out like a bandit...Tad taught him well.

Coaches are leaving...they probably don't want to re-up in this football mess. But the defensive coach stays...hmmm.

That's not funny anymore because that is what is or needs to happen for JJ and spawn to get out this mess.

Man, that is one oil hole JJ dug and is about to fall into it.

Dak will be here for several more years...we must maintain.

dak and zeke are the worst two contracts ever signed by the cowboys. both have cost this team so much and will continue to hamstring the team until 2027 at least.
