Twitter: Dak asking for $40 mil per Slater

[boysfaninMI]

WTH? I don't even know what to say to that. Except...who is this guy's friggin' agent? What a crap show.

 

[boysfaninMI]

Seems to me that Dak has an agent who is really playing hardball games with the team. I'm not sure what this will lead to but it's troubling, in any case. Here's hoping they'll work it out to the satisfaction of both parties before all is said and done. This haggling process seems likely to be an exasperatingly drawn out ordeal before it's settled. I imagine Jerry and Stephen are in a quandary trying to work out all of their contracts at about the same time. Not a healthy predicament for any of the parties concerned, that's for sure.

I mean....he's already gotten the Clampett's, I mean JONESES up to 30 mil per year? LIke I said....NO words at this point.

I’d buy Dak a bus ticket back to Mississippi if his agent sent over that offer. Tag him next year and draft a replacement.

$40m for this?


This franchise will be in shambles if they give him that

So, a 2 game stretch 2 seasons ago defines Dak ...

Why not pick another 2 game stretch with multiple TDs and no INTs to define him?

Maybe that wouldn’t fit a narrative?

There are concerns about Dak, but at least try to be fair with them. For that matter, be fair about what he’s asking from the Cowboys instead of eagerly going along with the tabloid media who counts on people to react like you have?

This was the 22nd-ranked scoring team in the NFL last year. And it was 26th in the red zone.

Can we really have a "top-five paid" tag on 6 positions on offense?

And the highest paid quarterback?

That's the best post of the entire thread!

Trade him to the lousiest team in the league. Better yet trade him to Washington and let Cooper Rush beat his A#$ every time we play em. 40 mil per year lololololololololololololololololololololololol

Pay Zeke AND Coop with that money and bring back Romo and your better off.

 

[DHCBF66]

Look to the draft or trade for a QB, I am so done with Dak and Zeke, trade them both for what we can get for them....

 

[DCowboyz]

Let’s just pay Zeke and Cooper. And let Dak play for that money this season. I’m going to be so pissed if we overpay for Dak and play hardball with Zeke. We aren’t winning games with Dak alone lmao. I’m sorry.

I think Id have to say this is the best offer we've got and push away from the table. On my way out Id say see you next offseason.

If his agent actually did ask for 40 I'd withdrawl my offer and let Dak know we will not be working with this particular agent anymore. Come see me when you have educated representation.

LOL

Why stop there?

 

[Swagger]

How many players will we lose over the next few years as a result of signing Brian Hoyer with wheels for around 35 million a year...

Pro Bowl/All Pro Corner Bryon Jones will be gone along with at least one or two other quality players.

Shame.

 

[Beast_from_East]

if Wentz is getting 32 per.. I MIGHT concede to give Dak 33-34 mil..NO MORE. He's better than Carson.

I agree...…………..if Wentz got 32, hard to make an argument that Dak should not get the same or a little bit more.

Like you said, 32-34 range is the MAX that I would be willing to offer, and even then I think its still an overpay but that is market rate apparently.

No thanxs. Keep Dak and use the draft for our holes elsewhere.

 

[Roadtrip635]

We don't need Dak, we still have Mike White.

Smart tactic on Daks and his agents part. Cowboys are desperate for a leader, everyone knows it so counter at $40mio and settle in the middle at $35mio. Probably worth no more than $25mio or so but he will get his $34/5mio no doubt.

I have since read that this story is false and Dak and his agent did not ask for 40

Yeah, but that story doesn’t count .... because we can only believe the media when it gives us a reason to complain, right?
