I don't get it. Dak has generational money now. He, his kids, grandkids, even his brother and his brother's kids would have enough for lifetimes. He has a daughter now, and his girlfriend lives in the area, right? So why shouldn't he accept a little less to help the team and maybe, just maybe have a shot at a championship and a legacy? We've seen what happens when he gets paid what he thinks he's worth. The team suffers and he chokes. He might still choke with less money, but at least we could afford even more talent that might help with that.
Does the man want to teach his daughter to be greedy at the cost of everything else, or to be generous and help those around him? That's the real question and what his true legacy will be. What she will eventually see him do. His choices he makes. Making millions more from a new contract won't affect him all that much financially since he made so much from endorsements and this current contract. In my opinion, here's what he SHOULD do now: Tell the team he's willing to get paid less to help the team. Tell Jerry it's predicated on some form of opportunities Jerry could offer post-career, like a job QB coaching or something, maybe even some sort of joint business venture after. Then Dak should get some cognitive behavioral therapy to fix whatever is going on in his brain that causes him to panic and get that thousand yard stare in the playoffs. It's all mental. Even if he isn't the brightest QB, he's still capable. He just panics and makes mistakes. He does that and I'll buy back in a year or two.
But I guarantee he'd never do that because he's already shown he's all about the money at the cost of anything else. Like Jerry, it's actions and not words you should look at.
