Where should Dak’s salary be?

[Silverz1972]

the highest paid qb not to make it to the Super Bowl is Kurt cousins at 28 million per year.

you then have bissett, stafford and Carr all in the 25-28 million per year range.

Until he proves he can win and play consistently he’s in the same category as all of the above mentioned.

The FO is most likely going to franchise tag him, which would be a smart move on their part.
Prove yourself and get your big contract, unfortunately I suspect that Dak’s reaction will be less than positive to being tagged.

Yes he’s played for far less than his true value these last years, but he’s not hurting financially as there are some benefits to being the QB of “America’s team” of which he has capitalized.

Unfortunately, like a few of his buddies namely Zeke and Lawrence he also learned some key lessons, which I feel he will apply to force this FO into giving in.

Kurt doesn’t even play for the Vikings and they’re paying him 28 mill/y?

no wonder Dak wants 40 mill

Market has changed. There are starting QBs earning less than 10m a year.

He’s the number 1 free agent in the market and he’s a QB. It should be whatever a team will pay him

I have no problem franchising him, and trade him for two 1st's.

We can't afford another cap crushing QB deal that inhibits our ability to retain and obtain FA's. 25 years of the same BS.

Kirk does play for the Vikings.

who? guys on Rookie contract? but as soon as they hit FA that market for QB is still the highest of any position in the NFL.

Easy - $35m. That's roughly the same percentage of cap as Stafford.

Stafford and Cousins' contracts becan in 2018, with a $177m cap. Stafford at $27m - ~15% of cap. Cousins at $28m is ~16% of cap. $35m next year is ~17.5% of the cap. A bit bigger contract than Stafford and Cousins is exactly where Dak should be.

4 years/100 million

25 million guaranteed

See if he can earn that huge extension.

 

[fredp22]

25-35 range and I think our offer of 33 is right on if not a little generous.
during talks Jerry should just keep saying one thing to the agent-"but hes done nothing" and stay firm.
Make sure the tag non-exclusive- I'll gladly take 2 #1's, move up to take someone in draft and get 4 years of another rookie contract

heres your breakdown of qb salaries

I would recommend actually paying attention but I’m not sure that would work

 

[Hennessy_King]

Should have been $33 million a year before wentz and goff got paid last year.

 

[Bigdog]

In between Wentz and Goff

 

[Tarheelcowboy]

how about paying him what his worth is not what others received....I wish he would hit the market and move elsewhere. when all said an done it will more than he is worth as with the others mentioned in above post.

 

[CouchCoach]

26M, the transition tag, and let him see if he's worth more than that and get 2 1sts. If not, let him go for the gold with a new HC and offense. The circumstances dictate not getting into 100M+ guaranteed contract until they see him with this HC and offense.

He's in that Garoppolo and Cousins range, 27.5, 28M.

Someone started a thread about him signing an exclusive tag at 33M but not the transition one and I disagree, he will sign and show for the 26M. If he holds out, he will lose out and his agent knows it. If no other team is willing to bump the transition tag and give up 2 1sts for him and he is a no show for the Cowboys, he's not going to get fan support and not likely, teammate support either.

The tricky part is being able to use the safety net of rescinding the tag and bringing in a vet on a 2 year deal. I would sign Rivers and move on from him and go for the next franchise QB. However, they would have to move fast because other teams would be after him. He can still play and is as accurate a QB as there is in the league.

Tannehill and Fitzmagic arent on rookie contracts.

But you highlight an interesting issue. The price of 2nd contracts is so high versus rookie contracts, that it may be easier to go with a rookie contract and spend the saved money on improving the team elsewhere. A lot of rookie contract QBs are playing SBs these days.

4/130 with 110 guaranteed
