Twitter: SAS: Dak Prescott should be making at least $25M

[glimmerman]

Can’t disagree. He starts at 24 and maxed at about 28. Anything in between is likely market price for him.

 

[America's Cowboy]

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

 

[nightrain]

Dak will likely scoff at $25M/year.

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.

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...

His market will be between $28-30. Whether people like it or not the QB market will continue to rise, this isn't unique to Dak or the Cowboys and every team will be facing this situation as their QBs become due for new contracts or extensions.

 

[reddyuta]

Yeah i think that ship has sailed ,Dak is looking at a bigger pay day.

 

[northerncowboynation]

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

I think Dak gets 28-30M/YR and it wont effect much moving forward but itll get brought up everytime Dak makes an incomplete pass regardless.

 

[MojaveJT]

25m-28m would be excellent, in my opinion. I’m not the hugest Dak fan but 20m is a low ball offer with what the market dictates. If Dak wants 32m+ he should pound sand.

A truer statement has never been uttered Schnitz

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.

 

[MRV52]

22M is just right no more.

 

[lockster]

Which will be a lot with dak 's lack of accuracy

 

[OmerV]

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.

 

[GenoT]

$25mil per is the floor...the ceiling’s probably $29mil per.

 

[Mr_437]

At most!

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

He’s right. Thank the market don’t get mad at Dak.
