Tom Brady didn't take a penny under the market rate until his THIRD big contract. He signed at a salary below market rate after banking two big contracts, endorsement deals that were worth more than that, and marrying someone worth 400 MIllion. His family probably had 700 million in the bank when he signed his current contract, Dak has made 2.7 Million in his career so far.
Being set for life isn't the point, if Prescott takes a horrible contract he is still set for life. That's why he was quoted saying exactly that in the OP article.
The point is that Dak is saying the right things. They may well have been written for him by a PR Agency but he isn't playing hardball like some knuckleheads do in the same situation.
wrong he didnt LIKE Big Ben and RW come ask for more.. hes been underpaid for 4years or more..hes the only one that deserves 40 brah..hes got the hardware,.yet hes making 19,why he could have simply said I want to be the highest paid at all times, put it in his contract 1$ more after every new QB is signed more then himself.. Brady is taking huge paycut and just going about his business..single or married the dudes RICH and thats the point..
If dak came in and said ill take 25 over 3/4years and lest revisit after 3 , then hed already be locked up.they are squeezing for max dollars..so bullhockie he wants to be a Cowboy for life, Brady is a Patriot for life and showed it by taking less then he deserves..
How much did RW take his second contract? Foles this time? we all know the idiotic MARKET value but Daks not in the 30 market hes in the 25 market and just because some teams were dumb enough to pay Cousins, Carr, and Garoppolo way too much, doesnt mean we need to..25-27 lets just get it done..if not hes Money For life Cowboys second..he wont starve at 25 mil per and big guarantees, bet on himself to get to Elite hes spewing all over..dont pay for potential; Pay for results, I like dak but when I hear the BS about Cowboy for life yet hes not signed because hes pushing for bigger money, well im not sold..
