Lots of speculation in your post.
Dallas did not "cave". They ended up right about where everyone figured they would. Their initial offers were surely not what they figured they'd end up at. It was a compromise by both parties and in the end, Dez is happy, Dallas is happy, and everyone figures it is a fair deal all the way around. That amount of guaranteed money was going to happen, period. That is about the going rate for a super star WR these days. By starting so low, Dallas probably managed to give less guaranteed money than they would have.
You don't know that Jerry's expectations for this season had anything to do with the deal. Just because a couple of mediots wrote an opinion piece about Jerry making it happen and going for broke, doesn't mean it is true. They pulled that out of their *** and are guessing, just like you are here.
Many people like face to face meetings, just like Jerry. The Jones' flying to talk to his agent means nothing more than Dallas was serious about making it work.
You may think you have it all figured out, but there are very few facts mingled in with your guesswork here.
lol what compromise did Dez make ??
1. jerry had to go to ny, condon did not come here. If jerry wanted a deal he had to go to condon which gave condon a edge.
2. up till now jerry wanted special clauses regarding supervision and G money. that was all dropped and dez got a standard contract
like any other of the recent contracts for cowboys.
3. they had to give a lot more in G money and a little more in yearly, not sure what kind of signing bonus they offered before.
4. I dont see where dez compromised at all, he was from what I read ok with the 12 mil last year but did not like the special clauses, and the G
money.
5. I never said it was a bad deal or not fair or not good for cowboys.
6. jerry and stephen thought dez would play under tag then realized he might not , so they were frantic to make a deal once they realized that.
7. if you dont think jerry thinks this is a SB year , I dont know what to say lol
