I never said it would give me headache but as football guy and a person with eyes, DAK ISNT WORTH OVER 30 AND THATS THAT..ill add it would be huge mistake but im not losing sleepover what the FO does with their money even if they are blinded by 32-16 and playoff win when in reality Wins and Losses are a TEAM stat..and most only have that argument to debate his worth..

It’s time to say the word here.

Collusion.

Is that what’s happening? Seems to me that Dak, Zeke and maybe Amari’s agents know they have the Cowboys in a tough spot and are colluding together to extract market maker deals.

Before you dismiss it, think about it. That’s what seems to be happening here.

I thought about it. Along with your lack of evidence, I'm left with these questions:

How does Dak getting more money help Zeke and Amari?
How does Zeke getting more money help Dak and Amari?
How does Amari getting more money help Dak and Zeke?

Rumors by Timex Social Club comes to mind especially the first few lines:

How do rumors get started?
They are started by the jealous people.
They get mad at something they had
And somebody else is holding.

This team is about to destroy its ability to remain competitive for the next 5-7 years by overpaying talent just because they suit up in a Cowboys jersey. It's like watching a car crash in slow motion.

You could almost turn this into a joke format. "What's the easiest way to turn a $20M quarterback into a $30M+ quarterback? Put him in a Cowboys jersey."

The best part is that this joke works for every position.

The whole point of building through the draft is that you can let these guys go whenever they aren't worth the cost. If you're going to set the market on players who aren't the best at their position, you might as well just try to win free agency every year. There's no difference at that point.

When was the last time the Cowboys overspent on a player? Brandon Carr. You have no common sense.

You guys do know Wentz contract is actually around 26-27 per right???

Pissing in the wind Brother. I've tried to explain it over and over but they won't acknowledge this. It doesn't fit the profile so they will never accept that as fact.

You guys are so boringly predictable. Off the top of my head, AFTER the Brandon Carr contract, the Cowboys have overpayed for:

- Tyrone Crawford
- Dez Bryant
- Terrance Williams
- Nolan Carroll
- Jasper Brinkley
- Cedric Thornton
- La'el Collins
- Allen Hurns

You could easily make the case that they overpayed for Demarcus Lawrence (although I will personally hold off until I see how he lives up to the contract), and NOW they're about to overpay for Dak, Zeke, and Amari. Only a blind homer can't see this.

Why would he take 30.. we know wentz got 32.. Dak will cost 32.5. Elliot will take 15 or maybe 14.5.. Get real guys this is what the apparent worth is.. Agree with it or not..

Looks to be more than a rumor. He’s being universally flamed.

I believe they planned this. I have believed this for awhile now. I do think they are working together, at least Dak and Zeke. JMO

Not sure, how anyone can make a judgment on whether Dak is crazy to turn down the offer if you dont know the terms of the deal. More important than the aav is the amount of guaranteed money, number of years, how the base salary is spread, types of incentives, timing of bonus, etc.

Without knowing those details people are just reacting to their own biases on what they think Dak is worth... Which in reality is meaningless anyway.

30 million was too much already. Negotiations from here on out should be negotiated down.
The longer Dak doesn't sign the smaller the offer gets.
