To those saying Dak should accept a $15 mil/season team friendly deal like Tom Brady

15 million is about right for Dak. That's nearly top end backup (which is what Dak is) money these days. And top end backups are basically on par (and better in some cases) with the bottom half of starters.

So 6x SB winning QB is getting 23m, 30m, then 32m per year. You’re not making a great case for your boy Dak, FYI.
Uhhh, you fail to understand what the contract actually means. Brady was already scheduled to get paid $15 million for this season. He just signed a 2 year / $70 million contract extension which pays him an average of $35 million/season in 2020 and 2021. They were able to make it a little more cap friendly by adding $8 million to this year's current contract, thus increasing this year's salary from $15 mil to $23 mil, which allowed the team to lower the hit next year from $35 mil to $30 mil...and 2021's cap hit from $35 mil to $32 mil.

It's funny how some of you want to low ball Zeke, Dak, Cooper. Next year it will be Jaylon Smith and B.Jones who you guys want to lowball. I know we are the Cowboys and we are America's team but these men are not taking lowball offers, maybe they take a little below the market value but not no 40% discount.

All of these players should just accept what we offer them, keeping my anxiety and the cap manageable. As a fan the only thing I should worry about is their health and their on-field production. I shouldn't have to worry about whether they going to show up for work because they feel disrespected by their pay scale. Get Over It! :laugh:

Dak hasn't been a backup since early in his rookie training contract. What on Earth are you talking about?
Dak gets no love for 2 division titles in his first 3 years on a minimum contract. But I do believe if we don't sign Zeke and he holdout and Dak does not get his contract to start season. It will hurt Dak more than Zeke money wise as far as what each player think they should make.
