Many people are blaming the Jones but they are teaching Dak a lesson

[CT Dal Fan]

Sure, but Dak has made his fortune already. Him signing for $50M per year instead of $60M per year after he's made close to $200M in his career already isnt a crazy ask. Now that goes both ways so if I were Dak I would want to have some input in roster decisions as Brady had too if I'm taking a discount.

I get that but the Cowboys are also to blame. They could have extended Dak earlier the first time and saved millions, but they waited. They let the market set Dak's deal for them and now they are paying the price.

And I don't think any of us in Dak's position would be willing to throw money back. Especially when it's there for other QB's.

lol @ teach Dak a lesson. Just trade him if you need to 'teach him a lesson'

The only risk for Dak in that scenario would be if he got hurt, but he probably wouldn't mind.

Honestly I don't think that is a major concern. 2020 he snapped his leg in half and still became the highest paid player in the league. He just has to avoid the 1% of injuries that guys dont come back from. I'd assume he has some sort of insurance policy as well.

Brady made $290M his entire 22 year career. Dak has made $190M since 2020

Gisele made Tom feel really comfortable making the Patriots really cap happy with the deal, the dedication.
Dont see too much of that around these parts or the rest of the league, should have been illegal for Tom to be married to a bank roll... LOL
I kid.

Dak's contract has a no trade clause.

Agree with the first part, I have zero empathy for the Cowboys front office. They've misplayed the Dak negotiations from the start.

Granted it's easy for me to say from the comfort of my couch I would think I absolutely would be willing to sign a "discounted" $50M per year contract. My only thing is I would need something in return, either an opt out if I see that money is not being used to sign other players or input on the roster moves.

Let us sit Dak down and demand that if he doesn't lift the NTC than we will break his throwing arm with a baseball bat and then swiftly kick Todd France in the ####
Let us see how that works out.

They tell Dak, players go where the money is. He refuses to budge and expects top dollar. They don’t like 3 early exits recently and no deep playoff runs in 8 years. Here…we…go.

They tell him to waive trade clause or Conditional tag, so we can get to high round picks for him. He will, of course refuses.

Then they will say OK you Dak hold all the cards…for now.

Fast forward to TODAY. No free agents. Dak WILL NOW Carry the team at 60 million UNDER CURRENT CONTRACT. You have a top wr, a top pass rusher, a cb. A good 12-5 roster. We will get players in the draft to fill in those who leave. Ownership refuses to mortgage the future. Dak will be the difference maker.

THE POINT IS TO SHOW HIM THAT WINNERS LIKE BRADY AND PAT TAKE LESS MONEY TO WIN. IT HELPS THEM WIN CHAMPIONSHIPS!

Draft happens, fill holes with players. Time will tell.

See you at training camp. Once training camp starts, I assume dak wins the competition. I doubt lance plays 20% better to take daks job.

Season starts.
Case1: If he is .500 (rough start) AND LANCE PLAYED SOLID, ownership tells him to the waive the trade clause. He of course does not. bench him for the season to go with Trey Lance, the rest of the way. New coaches have a good cap and a good start.
Case2: Dak plays average. Play him until playoffs are out of reach and start lance. He walks after season.
Case3: He plays hero ball. Pay the 3 years/180 m you were gonna give him anyway. They want to make him earn it.

Marino took the money and never won. Elway gave up money and won 2x. So did Tommy and Pat. Dak has to decide if he want to walk in the footsteps of champions or Kirk Cousins.

I am on board with ownership’s hardline here. Prove it or we clean house. They just want results and to meet in the middle.

I’d take the money. There’s no guarantee for championships. Especially with our idiots in the sky box.

Jethro will anty up cause the stability of consistent playoff contender is much easier than starting over .

 

[THEHEREAFTER]

We don’t need lessons. We want to win!

Stop blaming Dak for the mess Jerry has made.
Most teams never even let their franchise QBs get to their final year. That’s why players tell owners if it’s not done before the season starts, they won’t talk about it till the season is over. The point is to push.
Jerry allowed Dak to “bet on himself” and play through his rookie contract. Jerry franchised him, which only drove the price up and made him a free agent. Now, he has done the exact same thing again.

Theres no lesson for Dak to learn. Why do you think Cousins, who has only a 1-2 playoff record in his career, has made more money than just about anyone in the NFL despite playing for multiple teams. Jerry learned nothing! You don’t franchise tag a player unless 1- you want him for one year and then let him go, or 2- you just want a few more weeks to work out the final details of a contract. Letting your franchise QB keep getting through or even to his final year is just stupid and balloons the asking price.

These Jones family only fans have serious cope issues.

None of this is even remotely how things will or are going down.

Daks going to walk...Minnesota

 

[ghst187]

Yes the Jones are known as teachers of life lessons.

Accidentally getting lucky and becoming a billionaire makes people think they know way way more than they actually do

 

[Zekeats]

They did this when Dak was on his rookie deal…who were they trying to teach a lesson then lol?

They knew he wasn't worth top 3 money then cause hes not even a top 10 QB. Same thing here, no difference.

 

[Zekeats]

Rumor is Jones taught Dak how to pull out

Not very good at that.

 

[VaqueroTD]

Is it a coincidence that the news on Dak's estranged lover hit the news right as the deadline hit and he refused to sign?
