Stephen Jones on the contract extensions

Touching first base is okay. Security may should get involved if touching has reached third base.

Signing all three to extensions with available cap would be a wise and prudent cap endeavor.

 

[Havic]

Let’s get these extensions done sooner rather than later.

"Do you guys like money"

"Yup"

"****, these players want to get paid. "

"They may want to wait so I'll pay them more."

Can’t make them sign.

Stephen must be preparing to give those three honest offers. Funny he did not mention Dak.

Translation: "I don't expect them to accept the way-below- market-value offer we gave them."

The idea that CD would sign an extension now is hilarious to me. There's no chance.

 

[fivetwos]

It doesn’t make much sense for most of these guys to give a discount at this stage.

The system is flawed because a second deal isn’t allowed until after year three, in which case anyone who wasn’t a first rounder ought to just play out the fourth year and be a free agent.

By the same means if you’re the team, and not getting a discount, may as well force them to remain healthy and perform before committing.

Bottom line is if you find a top player, even if it’s an UDFA, if you want to keep them it’s going to cost market value before all that long.

The first rounders are the ones who get screwed. Fifth year option plus two potential tags. If I’m CD Lamb I’m probably listening for that reason, unless he wants to go the Cabo route, which we know is going to beat Jerry every time. Proven formula.

So here we are….about to pay big money to players we couldn’t win with when they were making nothing.

Hate to be negative during peak Kool Aid season, but how exactly does that add up to a positive result?

Isn’t Dak like two years from now?

 

[Praxit]

....we dont want any Roy Williams, Zeke deals anymore. We're hankering down. ...

These guys already have insurance policies set up in case of injury. It really makes no sense anymore for a player to sign early as the risk isn’t that huge. Wait until the walk year and pressure the team to franchise you. I don’t love the system, but it is what it is.

Dak is up the same time as Diggs/Lamb.

 

[rambo2]

I think that Diggs will sign and be the highest paid corner in the league. The fans that say that the Cowboys are cheap will now say that they overpay.

 

[baltcowboy]

Isn’t Dak like two years from now?

All I have hear from the local talking heads is the Cowboys want to extend Dak because the cap charge in ‘24 will be huge.

 

[Mac_MaloneV1]

Dak is up the same time as Diggs/Lamb.

Not quite.

Diggs is up after this year (2024), CD has this year and next with this 5th-year option, plus the franchise tag (2026), and Dak is up after next year (2025). They're all staggered.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Dak is up the same time as Diggs/Lamb.

How is Diggs and Lamb up at the sans time when one was a first rounder with a 5th year option?

@PAPPYDOG
you think they would also talk to dak for an extension. I hope so
