Dak needs a new agent

[silvernblu]

I think the Cowboys are being quite reasonable. Dak’s agent is being ridiculous and unfortunately is inflating Daks head in the process.

why would he possibly be anywhere near the highest paid QB ever?

Id like to think it’s not Dak, but I’m not entirely sure. How can he be about winning when the contract he wants will prevent building a winning team.

I feel I was so wrong about Daks character. It’s just sad.

Why wouldn’t a player want the most they can get? Fans need to realize it’s a business with a very short shelf life, you need to earn what you can when you can.

Sounds like his agent is doing exactly what he should be doing.

I think Daks agent is doing his job. These agents know how to push JJ around. If his agent has him hold out it wouldn’t surprise me..

 

[The Fonz]

It worked for Zeke so why not
players know JJ will fold and sign them

 

[Ranching]

I'd be worried about his character if he was gonna marry my daughter........ I'd also want him to get a huge contract!!!! Lol

And D-Law. Putting off his shoulder surgery until he was signed. If it was me he would still be putting it off and be playing elsewhere.

It's just the way contracts are done in the nfl. The agent doesn't get his money until he gets dak a deal. A lousy agent would settle for a lesser deal so he could get his money. Seems to me he's doing a good job.

You have no idea what contract is being offered.

 

[Aviano90]

His agent should have told him to hold out after Zeke got paid last year.

 

[Risen Star]

That agent needs a new client.

We don't know where the sticking points are though.

It could be they are offering what he wants per year, but not enough years. Or it could be they are offering the years he wants, but not enough of an increase to stay inline with projected league-wide salary increases.

There could also be other details that are sticking points.

I am not on either side, but since we really don't know where the issues are, it's hard to say which side is being more fair or more unreasonable.

If they do not sign him to a new contract though, i hope they go into the draft assuming he won't be on the team long term so they can draft another potential starting quarterback rather than do what they have done in the past and assume it will all get worked out, until it doesn't.

Shelf life of a QB is pretty long...if he really is that good he has nothing to worry about

Players are worth what someone is willing to pay for them. I'm assuming the Cowboys will pay him what they think some other team would pay him if the Cowboys didn't. Working that out can be complicated with some players, not so much for others. So if Dallas doesn't sign him and some other team does at 35 mil a year, guess what, that's his value. I'm not so sure another team would, but that's what makes this case complicated.

Dak’s agent is being ridiculous

How so?

Please explain.

Should have signed him before wentz got his contract. That likely costed them another 3 or 4 million a year.

 

[Blackrain]

Daks agent is doing his job . Its not his fault Jerrys ego and loyalty to Garrett wasted Dak rookie contract . His agent is trying to get the most for Dak thats what he is supposed to do . Sign him to the Non Exclusive if he wont take a reasonable offer .

If somebody wants to pay him 40 mil and give us 2 1st rounders even we couldnt screw that up and not improve the team . Who needs a QB that bad . BigBen and Rivers a nearing 40. Colts??? Skins?? Who is that bad off at QB to sacrifice 2 first round picks ???

I said that two years ago and these geniuses here said he’d lower his value. A year later and 30 TDS later now everyone wants him to take a bargain. Should’ve signed him before Wentz and Goff.

I agree.

I have been suggesting Dak is not exactly everything he pretends he is for some weeks.

Been getting a lot of grief over it.

As time goes on, more and more apparent facts appear.

This is going to open all our eyes about what Dak is about.
