But doesn't Jimmy G's have very little guaranteed money?

Jimmy's contract was $137M over 5 years with $74M guaranteed. The 49ers can cut him after 3 years with very little dead money.

They gave him a huge guarantee in the first couple of years to make it this way. They had so much cap room where is cap number was ~ 40 million plus in the first couple of years.

Yep....we ALL know how Romo's market value setting deal STOPPED the Cowboys from building a talented team around him....

Yet, coincidentally the same Dak Haters claim Prescott had arguably the most talented team around any rookie in NFL history...double edge sword

Don't blame poor coaching, drafting and free agency signings on record setting QB market value contracts. The blame should be placed on GMs and organizations that make mistakes.

You can build talented teams around top
QB contracts.

In 2 years Dak's new contract won't be in the top 10. Mahomes, Watson, Allen and other QBs are going $37M-$45M.

Dak, his brothers and agent were smart to laugh at $33M in September...it was $27M in the off-season. The gamble paid off.

Go to Spotrac. Jimmy got 85 million dollars in cold hard cash through first three years.
Cap hit was 37,23& 26. His guarantee ast signing was only 40 some million but guys know QB’s don’t get cut it’s just an injury protection.

I will agree with you on that. Maybe I just can't get out of my mind scoring only 9 pts in NE or not beating the Eagles with players from the street. Don't get me wrong. i like Dak. I just want it to be fair for both sides.

I get where you are coming from, but Im sorry, that is antiquated thought process in todays NFL.
If your a starting caliber QB in todays NFL, todays CBA says that you are the next in line to get payed a record contract.
Talent level has nothing to do with the process anymore.
You can blame both sides for that.

The 49ers can cut him now and only have a bit over 4 mil in dead cap.

In September they were close at 33M then Prescott decided he wanted more?......sounds like a greedy headcase in the making...........it may be time to tag him or find a stop gap free agent and focus on going another route in getting a franchise QB.........him flaking out like this speaks volumes.

How do we know they were close in September at 33? We’ve seen how media reporting can be all over the board, and they have no accountability for whatever they write or say. All they have is consumers sitting on the edge of their seats waiting to latch onto every word.

Besides, the average annual salary really isn’t the biggest factor in the negotiation anyway. The guaranteed money is. The average that is actually realized by the player can fall off a cliff real quick if the guaranteed amount is low and team has the ability to release the player and cut the contract short.

I would let Dak walk and build my defense

They couldn’t build the defense without Dak’s salary but you expect them to do it anyway huh?

Trying to wait on Mahome's deal I bet...

Praxit · Feb 8, 2020

..this could get fugly. Hope he's not waiting for what Mahomes gets? He's not in his ballpark.

csirl · Feb 8, 2020

This is irrelevant - a lot has happened since September.

ChronicCowboy · Feb 8, 2020

Playing the waiting game has done nothing but make Dak money. I say put the onus back on him by franchising him until he decides to take 33 million per.

You know what the length and guaranteed money was in those offers (or even how many there actually were) to be able to call them "fair?"

yeah we let the offense run through Dak instead of running game and we didn’t score points against good teams and didn’t make the playoffs

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.

Wilson signed for 35MM AAV eight months ago.

Dak is not better than Wilson.

Thats just for cap purposes. He probably would have cashed a 20 million dollar signing bonus in 2019. Quick finance question: Is it better financially to get 20 million now or 20 million next year?

It is financially better to have it now because you can invest and gain interest but Dak didn't lose $30 million dollars as some people are claiming.

Its hard to estimate how much he lost. It literally depends on the signing bonus being offered. Wentz got 16 million but he also had 2 years left on his rookie deal. Russell Wilson got a 65 million dollar signing bonus. So its not hard to imagine Dak's agent wanting something around 40 million in signing bonus money. But, you also have to factor in that the sooner he signs, the faster he get to his next contract. Time is money in the NFL with their short careers. So, unless Dak's new contract is going to somehow compensate for what he lost last year, 30 million might be a conservative estimate over the course of his career.
