What a Disaster can't get deals done with Zeke, Cooper, and now Dak. Dak isn't even a top 5 qb this is just crazy! What a Fiasco!
Apparently he thinks he is more than a top 5 qb and should be paid accordingly, lol.

So if true and he turned down 30M per season, then he better be ready to take alot of heat. All he is doing is putting even more pressure on himself to perform (assuming he gets the bigger deal he obviously covets) which means bringing a SB to Dallas. Personally (and i have said this before) i don't think he has the skill set to be a top tier NFL QB but if he wants to be paid like one then he better perform like one. I wish him well
I don't think he minds. Cowboys fans have given him enough heat as it is. At least he gets compensated for it.

He thinks the deal he's asking for now will be about top 13 in about 3 years after Mahomes, Mayfield, Darnold, Mariotta, Goff, Winston, etc. get signed.

What's wrong with me being a Cowboys and Eagles fan?

Coop extension should have been worked out at the time of the trade. If Dallas was truly intent on resigning Dak it should have been done before OTA's started and guys like Wentz got their payday. As far as Zeke, Dallas did the right thing and exercised the option. Not much you can do about that situation.

To me this is the front office fault when it comes to Dak and Coop. Zeke I would be happy to see in another uniform. Jerry supported him through all of his ordeal with Goodell and the suspension. Don't like the guy and hate his stupid feed me garbage.

As a side note, can we all bash the eagles for a second?

Wentz is a douchebag. One who is frequently injured. Does anyone here seriously think that they are going to be happy they gave him that contract?

Wentz was having a great year that season. And he does have a ring. That being said I agree with you!

Totally agree, we have nothing to gain by signing him right now. If he has a season similar to last season and is still the same QB, we might want to start looking for a replacement anyway.

He was great after Cooper arrived. No need to replace.

mariotta and winston lol. neither are all time busts because theyre still starting but neither has been signed and nobody will be shocked when they dont get resigned or sign small stop gap deals.

It was just a few months ago that we heard "rumors" about how DLaw was making big demands, etc. A bunch of people just wanted to "cut or trade the bum." Then the final contract came out and it turned to be pretty fair to both sides.

I'm really not that worried. One thing Jerry was correct about is that we never let go of guys that we really want. I believe that will happen with Dak, Coop, Zeke, Smith, LVE, etc. etic.

Say what you want but Dallas probably got “bent” and will probably rue that contract.
