You can talk about how he is not an elite passer worthy of franchise QB money all you want. But the Lael Collins signing should tell you a lot about Dak and his leadership.
Dak and Collins are homeboys literally both from Louisiana. Dak raised in initially on that Mississippi river juice in Sulfur, LA moving to Haughton, LA. Lael Collins got a full dosage from Baton Rouge LA that sits right on the Mississsippi. Marcus Spears, Lael Collins, Leonard Fournette, Odell Beckham, and the Mannings to name a few. As Prince said "must be something in the water they drink".
But Dak has let his contract negotiations go to the background to allow the Cowboys to resign/extend Demarcus Lawrence, Jaylon Smith, Lael Collins, and they will sign Elliott. It is a smart leadership move. If Dak gets a NFC Championship game team out of 2019, he will get his money and more from Jerry Jones. I think he will get it before but there is no denying that he is not prioritizing his contract in the process of getting a Super Bowl contender..
Dak has never had the Kirk Cousins drama surround him regarding a new contract. All he has done is lead. Leaders allow for others to shine and then reap the benefits. Dak now has a DE, MLB, and RT. He has an entire OL intake for a 2-5 year run, a defense that is signed for a 5-10 year run at Super Bowls.
So the Collins, Lawrence, and Smith, are signed. Who's next?
