One of the few times I agree with Stephen A. Smith.

Ditto. It seems a ridiculous amount of money, and I understand the immediate instinct to think it is too much for Dak, but the reality is that's just how the QB market is in the NFL these days.
Dak will likely scoff at $25M/year.

After Russell Wilson's deal he may. I doubt he will expect Wilson money, but he may not accept $10 million/year less than Wilson money.

Just think about the last QB contract the Cowboys signed with the starter in 2012 and start there. Then add what the market has done with QB's over the past 7 years, inflation and rising salary caps and we have our answer. I know some fans don't think it's justified but we don't count for much around these here parts. $25-28 mil

Well, we don't have a choice on pricing, since idiots made all these guys multi-millionaires in single seasons.

The market is the market...

Precisely.

The truth is, whether people think Dak is good enough or not. And obviously that’s debate-able. His resume and the low supply of starting caliber QB’s in the world, dictates 25 mil a year at least at current market prices.

Anything less than 25 mil a year would be Dak taking a team friendly deal. Which I would love btw, but you can’t EXPECT a QB to do it.

22M is just right no more.

That's way low ball in today's market. If that's the offer Dak will wait and let his current contract play out, and then either walk away and leave the Cowboys scrambling for a replacement, or the Cowboys will have to sign him for $5 million per year more than he would sign for now.
