News: PFT: Dak has not ask for $40M

[RodeoJake]

When it comes to what's been offered and what's been countered, trust no one. Believe no one. The truth is out there, but not even Mulder can find it until it's revealed.

 

[Jake]

I don't see this as earth-shattering news. No one thought he was going to get 40, including Dak's agents, even if they did ask for it.

 

[Ranching]

Consider yourself sucked.

Aaaaghhhhhh

 

[Eanwen]

So wait.

This report is spot on. The other isn’t.

How do we know PFT isn’t the one wrong? I mean people ripped PFT when they reported other things.

Does it really matter? It's all negotiations, including perhaps the leaks themselves. I don't see anything to get worked up about. Dak wants to be here, the Jones' want him here. It'll get done, probably before the start of the season. No point in any of this incessant hand wringing.

 

[Diehardblues]

Not really. Asking for about $33 million a season as opposed to $40 million means Dak's new contract will be about $42 million cheaper overall assuming he gets a six year deal.

Still too much for his talent level. Should be in mid 20 million range.

 

[Hardline]

The 40 Million thread is based on a rumor
This thread is based on a rumor.

Official team news will not be a rumor.

 

[Asklesko]

He has asked for 50 million

 

[InTheZone]

don't believe it

 

[unionjack8]

I'd still do what I said in the other thread. Play out rookie deal, tag him. Let him walk or see what new CBA brings...

Didn't Jane come out several times and say that she expected Zeke to be in camp and even on the plane? Now she's pushing a $40 million rumor?

Sounds like she's replaced Ed Werder as the "make up stuff and hope it sticks" Cowboys reporter. Oh, and I see that Ed's back at ESPN. Goody.

....throw in the fact that she's a fake blond. She probably feels that her and Schefter are the first ones to spill the beans. Hers, well, ...the cowboys.

 

[exciter]

That's the problem for many fans........mid-tier, top-tier or whatever has nothing to will paying your starting QB today if you think he's your long-term answer

That's what I'm saying, let other teams set his market value... I'm willing to bet there's not another team in this league willing to give him a contract paying over 30m a year and if there is then take the 1st and run. He should be happy with the deal Fowels got! We could get the same production he's produced with Keenum or Colt McCoy!

Charean Williams has better sources. I believe her account.

I thought she was also the one that broke the initial "news" that stated that Dak was seeking $40M...

 

[TWOK11]

So wait.

This report is spot on. The other isn’t.

How do we know PFT isn’t the one wrong? I mean people ripped PFT when they reported other things.

Because both PFT, the DMN and local talk radio are refuting the claim he asked for $40 million.

A lot of very plugged in people, including those locally, are calling BS.

 

[DallasInDC]

This is exactly what I was saying in the Dak turned down $30mm thread...unless we know all of the terms of the deal, any reaction is premature.

People are getting their panties in a wad based on pure biased opinion on Dak/Zeke/Cooper.

 

[LandryFan]

He has asked for 50 million

...and 60M of that guaranteed!

 

[erod]

Slater didn't make this up.

Sounds like agent damage control.

 

[J12B]

Slater didn't make this up.

Sounds like agent damage control.

Well she was wrong about Zeke being on the team plane to Oxnard a couple of weeks ago.

Florio and PFT got it right.

I trust PFT more than Slater.

 

[Sevenup3000]

So wait.

This report is spot on. The other isn’t.

How do we know PFT isn’t the one wrong? I mean people ripped PFT when they reported other things.

Because it is being backed up by ESPN, USATODAY, and about 1/2 dozen other reporters...

As opposed to ONE reporter?
