Actually I wouldn't totally discount what TO is saying. I mean Aikman and Romo got their extension with little or no issues. Not what he's not saying is the top 5 offer that's been on the table that Daz chose not to sign. I honestly think we'll know if this problem/issue is real or not in a couple of months. IF they franchise Dak, things could interesting....fast.

not necessarily
Dak is not signed because he is asking for way way over fair market

Dak is really worth 25 mill/year
Dak could be paid 25-30 mill/year on the market but no one is paying him more
Dak is asking for 35-40 million/year

that’s why he is not signed

Not by any means do I much into what TO has to say, but.....

"Owens said the reason he believes Jones isn’t sold on Prescott because of the contract situation going on between the quarterback and the Cowboys.

“He hasn’t extended Dak’s contract,” Owens said of Jerry Jones. “So, that leads me to believe he truly doesn’t believe in Dak. If he had, then I think he would have already got a contract extension.”

It’s worth pointing out that reports indicate Prescott will be secured via the franchise tag this offseason while he and the Cowboys continue to try and pound out a long-term extension. That being said, given the other options out there this coming spring in free agency, one wonders if the Cowboys could potentially be looking elsewhere."

As ridiculous as TO almost always is, there is some reason Dak isn't signed yet. That reason may not be the one TO gave, but the one TO gave is certainly one of the prominent possibilities.
I agree I think reports that he wanted 40 are erroneous. Or are they?

Insult away but in the end, the owner and GM of our team have not given this young man a mega-deal contract?
WHY??? Zeke got his now why is that????

Has nothing to do with the cash at this point as Jerry has shown he is willing to pay when needed.
Dak's best-case scenario is the tag and due to lack of his talent base, he will once again FAIL on the field showing him the bench and our version of RG3 and Tim Tebow will have ended.

You should have stopped right there with no "but". TO's thoughts on anything related to the Cowboys should be of no interest to anyone that posts here.

Owens is correct as if Jerry believed in Prescott he would be a richer man today!
The spring will bring a new reality for Dak....Time to take out the Garbage!


You should know that you’re considered a joke here.

WHY??? Zeke got his now why is that???? you seriously arent taking jerry jones sound decision making as somewhat of a positive lol. Jerry also overpaid the following Jaylon,Dlaw,Zeke current players. Romo,Witten,Dez by overpaid I mean didnt live up to contract. Now the current players can still live up to their contract but the others are just examples of Jerry paying for people he liked versus whether or not their talent level matched their contract and dak will get his and it will be at least 32 mil which i think is the franchise tag total.

so when he gets tagged or gets the contract what your response going to be. Jerry's an idiot? Dak is going nowhere

TO doesn't know ****. Prescott will be extended, there will be no franchise tag. It's crazy how impatient people are and how a maroon like Owens jumps to conclusions. There's plenty of time to work out a deal.

Just read an article where Stephen said they were really really close to a deal in preseason but didn’t nail it down. Then Dak shut it down saying he didn’t want any distractions during the season, just focused on football. Stephen says they have to land the plane now.

This will be done soon, imo

It is just speculation from TO but let's hope that is the case

Even TO can see what brainless Dak slobberers can’t... despite their proclamations that Dak will be signed any day now, he remains unsigned.
Never in NFL history can I remember negotiations where a player has had to publicly state multiple times that he “won’t be taking any hometown discount”. Clearly there is a divide in the perception of the player’s abilities between both camps that wasn’t there for Goff, Wentz, etc. As dumb as Jerry and Stephen are, it at least gives me some hope that they can at least consider that there are other guys who could stand in a pocket all by themselves and throw to wide open guys (against the Giants and Commanders at least).

I don’t understand how any rationale person out there can hear the Jones’s gush over Dak and not bekieve he’s absolutely they’re guy. There’s just simply been too many moving pieces this past offseason, coupled with Dak pushing for a shorter deal to reach an agreement, and really no particular reason to worry about it.
You guys believe what y'all want to believe lol. If he was their guy like some of y'all claim he would've been signed. They payed Zeke when he had two years left but the QB that y'all claim they gush over soooo much hasn't been signed yet? Y'all the types to believe anything someone says even though the actions say otherwise. I think he gets signed but I'm not sure if he is their guy like y'all claim when he has to do all of this for a contract. If Dak was Mahommes level talent you think they'd make him wait?

ownership is sold on dak. they just don't want to pay him what he's demanding.
How are they sold on him then? That doesn't really make sense to me. If you're sold on something/one you'd pay the going rate even if the rate is a little bit more than you thought it would be. That's what I've saw in relationships and purchases myself and others have done. Pretty sure you and others have saw similar.

Yeah, left out a word or two there, but too late to edit now.

I was thinking of adding that McCarthy isn't afraid of change at QB.

In all his stops before becoming head coach at Green Bay he was either a QB coach or offensive coordinator. Unknown how much input he had in the changes.

In KC they had Montana 2 year, then Bono 2, Grbac 1, and Gannon 1.
1999 he was QB coach for Favre.
2000 he was in NO with Jeff Blake. The next year they started Aaron Brooks.
After 4 years of Brooks, he went to the 49ers where he and Mike Nolan chose and started Alex Smith.
2006 he landed in Green Bay and started Favre for 2 before naming Aaron Rodgers his starter. (Favre initially retired, then chose to come back. Big Mc told him he could come back as the backup to Aaron)

Given all that, McCarthy is going to come in and develop the overall QB position. Dak may get the keys this year and next, but if he's not getting us where Coach wants to go, I can see Big Mc pulling the plug IF he has someone he feels is better prepared to get the job done.

(I say IF in caps to hopefully keep the flame wars on low heat.)

Some interesting back stories in all this. In 1999 Rich Gannon signed with the Raiders. He won the NFL MVP award in 2002 and took the Raiders to the Super Bowl where he threw 5 interceptions, a record.

Grbac signed a free agent contract, 5 years, $30 mill with Baltimore in 2000 to replace Trent Dilfer. He was released at the end of the year. He was named to the 50 Worst Free Agent Signings along with Scott Mitchell, Kerry Collins, Jeff Garcia, and Derek Anderson.
