News: Yahoo Sports reporting that Dak was offered 33 Million a year and he turned it down

[DallasEast]

I think the person you quoted is triggered and or Dak is disguise.

That is the trigger? I thought the trigger was any Dallas Cowboys fan questioning officiating that results in negative outcomes for the team.

 

[OmerV]

33mil doesn't tell much.

Exactly right. Average annual salary isn’t nearly as big a factor as guaranteed amount, signing bonus and length of the contract.

LM*******AO

keep this up we are continuing to dodge bullets. As jerry said with M&M things lined up just right for him to be here. Well the same is true about not destroying our future with Dak...assuming it keeps going this way until we find the next guy.

 

[Redball Express]

33mil doesn't tell much.

The devil is in the details as they say.

Hard to comment on something this vague. What is guaranteed, can any be voided, is there options to extend..

this means nothing and is not the real story.

We'll wait for the other shoe to drop.

 

[SportsGuru80]

Wentz's deal was worth up to $34m if he stays healthy. Base was $32m. Dak is better than wentz with no injury history. That article doesn't show the length and guaranteed $$ so it's worthless.

Bingo... They need to offer him $34.5 and I bet it gets done.

 

[Ranched]

When he takes us to 2 SBs in a row like Wilson did, or plays like Mahomes... yea, then we can talk about that blank check.

A well coached team gets them to the Superbowl. Niners were nothing and Sha-na-na Jr. took them to the big dance w/Brady's backup in just 3 years being a first time head coach.

 

[nightrain]

Dak will be happy to wait until Mahomes signs to get his deal. I have more often than not found the Cowboys timing on signing top talent to be off. Should have gotten this out of the way a year ago.

Dak bet on himself and delivered an outstanding season.

Why do folks think he should just settle with a new CBA on the horizon?

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

What a greedy slob...

 

[Fletch]

I don't care if he turned it down, that's just what is being reported. Offered 33 million a season and refused. Asked for more instead.

Dak will get no less than 35. That’s where I hope it goes, but I can see him getting 37. Any more than that I might freak. But then it ain’t my money and the cap continually goes up. It’ll all work out.

 

[CowboysRule]

I would agree with you if our defense wasn't bad and our special teams wasn't garbage. You can't lose 2/3 of the game and expect to win. Dak had control of the offense and the offense was not a problem in 2019

Except against the Saints...and the Patriots...and the Bills...and the Eagles. Even in some of the games that were "closer" they only looked that way because the other basically let us score later on when it didn't matter. For instance, the Bears. Dak feasted against crappy teams last year. He couldn't do anything against the better teams in the league. The only team with a winning record we beat was the Rams and they just barely fall into that category. Dak is by no means a bad quarterback, but he's on one of the more talented offenses in the league. When you are surrounded by talent it's hard to make excuses when you have several games, big games, during the year where you can't lead your offense to more than 10 points. He doesn't deserve to be paid like a top QB. He deserves to be paid like an average QB because that's what he is.

Oh look. More "OUTRAGE!"

Let's just cut to the chase and do a 180 to call Dak a greedy bastid after using him and his "doing things the right way" as a sledgehammer to Zeke's cranium for Zeke's negotiations. Weather vane principles are the order of the day where what you espouse changes with the wind. In the end I think he'll get more than $33M anyway and then fans will hate him right alongside Zeke. Then what did "being a team player" net him in the eyes of fans? That's why I say players should ignore piker fans when it comes to business and most do.

Are you Dak's agent too?

 

[aikemirv]

So this was before the season started. How much would he have to make a year to make up for the $33 million he could have already had in his pocket? Does his agent understand math or am I missing something? Had to be something other than the yearly $ amount that killed the deal. Perhaps the guaranteed amount which the article doesn't produce.

Quoted for truth - he can't ever get that back!

 

[erod]

This would be akin to paying Xavier Woods $15 million per year.

Seriously.

See that's where you are wrong.

Zeke's whole holdout was really poor form.

Dak is well within his rights to ask for as much as he can get. He played the system the way you are supposed to and honored his contract. While I don't think he is worth it, I don't have a problem with him trying to get as much as he can. Long term it will cost him team success but he has every right to try.

 

[SackMaster]

We can get Brady or Rivers for less than $33M, this is just vintage Jerry Jones front office to offer Dak that kind of salary. Put the transition tag on him and he won't be getting anywhere close to that.

I think it is funny, to say the least, that many people seem to think it will be a bargain to apply the Transistion Tag to Dak Prescott.

There is an estimated 7 teams that "need" a QB and another 7 to 8 that may have QB very high on their wish list. There are not 14 good QBs in this draft. There may be 5-6 "1st Rounders" which only 1 to 3 may work out to be really good QBs.

So I have absolutely no doubt that if the Cowboys applied the TRANSITION Tag, they would either:

1. Be forced to pay market rate ($30+ million a year) at the years Dak wants with the "right of first refusal" clause
   
2. or
   
3. Will lose a starting quality QB, which again, a 1/3rd of the NFL does NOT have, and get absolutely nothing in return

Oh, but "we can get Brady or Rivers for less than $33 million". First off, go look at what both did in 2019 before you get too excited over there. If they do sign for under $33 million a year, there will be a darn good reason why.

 

[Bullflop]

Perhaps Dak realizes he can get $33 mil on the tag. Earlier today, I guessed the FO might end up offering him $34 mil and incentives. We'll see. Any more than that seems somewhat unrealistic to me but let's see what Stephen has in store for the FO's next offer. It seems to me like Todd France is overdoing his advice to Dak by trying to take advantage of the staff changes, hoping it pressures them into a panic mode. So far, it's not working.

Threatening to hold out is not poor form, it's using leverage. People are "uncomfortable" with it but there were consequences for Zeke if the front office didn't want to budge. As for fans' discomfort, well I wonder if Zeke loses any sleep over it.

 

[Brax]

and who's gonna play QB?

Why not you? I understand you throw a catch-able pass at least.

 

[visionary]

I hope he gets $40 million.

i hope stupid Cowboy fans wouldn’t post
