Dak wants to be the highest paid player in the NFL

[jazzcat22]

If this is true, and right now I think it is a big if, just let him play out this year and win the SB to prove he deserves it.
Oh and win the NFL MVP too.

IF that were true then YIKES lol. Take a hike!

 

[Hawkeye0202]

It will probably get done around 31-32

Regardless of how you feel about Dak, it’s hard to justify being the highest paid player when you’re not the best player in the league.

I just can’t see even see him saying that privately, and he doesn’t strike me as that kind of guy.

...more than Rodgers, Brady, Ben, Eli....etc.... And they have super bowl rings. These agents been playing the Ouija board lately.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

Does this mean the trade Dak threads are going to start? lol

 

[Outlaw Heroes]

Ben and Skin on The Fan, which carries the Cowboys games, said their sources say Dak's agency is demanding he be the highest-paid player in the NFL.

They are asking for more than $36 million per year.

No thanks. Let him play for $900K this year, and if proves himself, you just saved$35 million you can scatter over the next years when you pay him $40 million pretty year.

Or, if he falls flat, you saved your franchise's cap future.

Whatever. We probably went in with an offer of $28M AAV. Dak's people have countered with a demand for $36M on the theory that we'll land somewhere in the middle, right around Wentz money, $32M AAV.

This is just a negotiation. Your first offer/demand is more a wish than an expectation.

I'm not saying they should pay him 36m,as a Dak Fan ill say that is dumb. But to say it's because the others have rings, doesn't matter in nfl contracts. There was some point the past 2 years that cousins, Stafford, Jimmy G and carr was the highest paid.

 

[Risen Star]

Dark Prescott, Cooper Blush and Mike White.

Given how this place has been lately it's going to be weird if Zeke gets extended and Dak does not.

If those are truly Dak's demands that has franchise tag and draft a QB written all over it.

 

[Ranching]

They said the agents will not come off the "highest paid player" demand, so the negotiations are stalled. They also said Zeke is much closer to being signed than Dak or Cooper.

Good. Cooper Rush can hand it off to Zeke.

Does this mean the trade Dak threads are going to start? lol

 

[Silly]

It is Jerry's own fault if this is true. The idea that you can't bring in another Qb to compete with Dak is absurd. What if he goes down in camp with an injury and is out for the season? Dak knows he has Jerry by the balls. He gets paid or Dallas misses the playoffs.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

Yea that was a kind of dumb comment. lol

 

[Idgit]

How are Ben and Skin supposed to know this? Much less how far apart he is with the team relative to where they are with Zeke and Cooper? I don't think so.

 

[glimmerman]

That’s would be more than a SB winning QB and brady. Not going to happen. You will be playing your rookie deal out. Better hope you win the SB and get MVP.

Before you pay him 40 million let let Zeke sit and see if Daks worth it.

The BIG Con baby!!!
Nah not even the Jones are that simple minded!!!
LOL.....

But you are.

Well Zeke wants to be highest paid RB, so same standards.

 

[Avery]

I want to be the highest paid player at my workplace too. Doesn't mean I'm going to get it.

Its all speculative of course but it might explain why they haven’t come to an agreement when they apparently have been attempting to.
