Projected Contract for Dak - 6 years, $171M with $45M SB, and $90M Guaranteed

[CyberB0b]

I think the gist is that it’s prefferable to try your luck then to pay all that money for the same result. Especially if you can trade Dak.

That worked out well post-Aikman.

 

[atlantacowboy]

Of course they are. It's pure speculation, just like Mock Drafts. I never claimed I was reporting on the Cowboys. Is there a problem?

If you had started the thread with "MY projected contract for Dak.......", there wouldn't be a problem. But I guess if you had done that, nobody would have bothered responding.

 

[Point-of-the-Star]

Those are garbage numbers pulled out of your butt.

I really like the Hawaiian Tropic Febreeze (considering the above statement)

 

[Hadenough]

Yes yes indeed. Total passing yards is the best way to evaluate how good as QB is.

How many games do you need to see Stafford piss away by throwing terrible interceptions to understand the type of player he is?

How many times do we need to see Cousins throw away a game late in the 4th quarter?

Oh! And Dak doesn't make mistakes!
He has all day long to throw and takes sack along with his ints.
Dak has one of the worst conversion percentage on 3rd down and 7+ in the league.

Breaking: Dak gets 36 mil a year. In a related story multiple Cowboys fans head explode after hearing about the news.

That’s a subjective argument . Dak has been on a better team at least in 2 of his seasons.

I’d argue Stafford , Carr and Cousins are all more prolific passers. Garrapolo we haven’t seen much but his potential appears to be greater.

I’m not sure Dak would have had the same success in Wash, Det or Oak for example.

Carr is a below average QB. He’s been a starter since 2014 but has yet to lead his team to a division title or playoff win.

Cousins has been in the league since 2012 but has never won a playoff game. That includes with the Vikings who are very talented team, other than at QB.

Garropolo has started 10 games in the NFL and has a history of injuries.

Stafford has been a starter since 2009 and has yet to win a playoff game.

Dak is better than all 3. He took over a 4-12 team and led them to 2 division titles in 3 seasons and the second most wins in the NFL behind Tom Brady and the Patriots. Dak was Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2016 and made the Pro Bowl in 2016 and 2018. Based on what the others are earning $30 million a year seems fair for Dak.

That worked out well post-Aikman.

I mean cocaine made the playoffs and lost too. And drew got us a 9-7 season as well.

And neither had a team this stocked

You’ve forgotten Carr led Raiders to a 12-4 season and playoffs . Stafford has been the star consistently in Detroit leading them to playoffs several times.Regardless you’re correlating team success with QB talent and passing ability.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Didn’t look too good until he had that WR. And most QB would flourish with 2 Pro Bowl OL.

Well.....if we are being honest....they didn’t play like pro bowlers last year.


And how good was he suppose to look throwing to Cole Beasley and Allen Hurns in this offense?

 

[CowboyRoy]

Imagine if they pay Dak like a SB QB, then the Cowboys go 7-9, Dak throws like only 20 TDs the whole season again, but Zeke has like a thousand carries again. Zeke's going to start getting pissed off watching Dak get as much per season as he's made his whole career. And I would not blame him.

Why would I imagine something as ridiculous as that? That’s what an unrealistic hater would imagine.

The Raiders were 12-4 in 2016 but lost the division to the Chiefs because Carr was historically bad in the game that mattered most - at Kansas City in December with the division title on the line. He was 17 of 41 for 117 yards. That’s less than 3 yards per attempt.

Stafford hasn’t won a playoff game in 10 years. Results matter.

Dak has proven to be clutch, which is why he leads the NFL in game winning drives since entering the league, with 14.

 

[percyhoward]

Well....he only had two pro bowl lineman last year and didn’t have a number receiver until week 7 or 8 so he should be alright lol.

Not quite a top 10 defense yet either, but above average last season.

Doesn't really affect me, no.

Me neither, to be honest. Just saying, most normal people will admit, they’re kind of tired of the topic.

I understand but those intangible assets doesn’t define a talented prolific passer.

Daks winning ways are more attributed to his elite surrounding support. Without it the results are much less favorable.

 

[percyhoward]

Dak is not better than Stafford or Cousins! Both Stafford and Cousins have passed for more yards on lesser teams. Cousins has been a 4k yd passer the last 4 years. You put those QBs on Dallas and the Cowboys are better team than with Dak. If Dak gets that kind of money we can all forget about doing anything more than winning regular season games.

Since 2016, Stafford and Cousins both rank in the top 5 in number of attempts when trailing by more than one score. (Dak is 28th) It's very easy to pile up yardage in that situation. Cousins ranks 1st, Stafford 3rd in passing yards when trailing by more than one score.

Over the last three years, Stafford has 1,100 more yards than Dak, with 600+ yards of that difference coming while trailing by more than one score in the 4th quarter of games that his team lost. Cousins has 1,700 more yards than Dak, with 800+ yards of that difference coming while trailing by more than one score in the 4th quarter of games that his team lost.

In just the first half of games since 2016, Cousins, Stafford, and Prescott rank 6th, 7th, and 8th in passing yards.

 

[OmerV]

He's not worth that type of money. I rather go through pains of finding a new QB then to be stuck with an "average, but paid like I'm an elite" QB

The point people miss is the only reason he will be paid at what they think of as an elite level is because his contract is up now, and those of the truly elite are not.

It’s not a reflection of how Dak compares to elite QBs, it’s just a different market than when others negotiated their contracts.

If Rodgers, Roethlesberger and others were negotiating contracts at the same point in time Dak would not end up paid at their elite level, but salaries don’t just freeze for all other QBs until the next time the elite QBs contracts come up to set a new market level.

 

[cowboyblue22]

dak Prescott is going to get paid and get paid really well the jones have already said he is a franchise qb and they will pay him as such don't know why everyone keeps thinking its going to be different he is going to get PAID

 

[Nightman]

5/140m extension with 85m gtd..... 30m signing bonus.... 20m Roster bonus next year

total deal 6/142m... Cap hits of 8m this year, 13m next, 25m in 2021

 

[408Cowboy]

QBs of Daks talent level can be signed for 2-5m per year on short term deals. The fact that Dallas is not in a position to acquire a franchise QB right now is not a valid excuse for offering franchise QB money.

Dak is under contract for 2019. Lets play the season and see where we are next January.

 

[Vtwin]

I know it will never happen but it would be fascinating to see what would transpire if Dak played out his contract and was given the opportunity to put himself on the market.

I think some people here would be surprised.

Although there is always the Commanders.
