Does not matter if you are elite or 13-16 range, if you are a starting QB getting signed in this market, you’re not signing for 20-25M lol. Letting Dak go and signing Teddy should be a mute idea from now on



Pulled from:
https://www.bloggingtheboys.com/pla...dgewater-contract-could-mean-for-dak-prescott

“It pays to be a quarterback (obviously). It is the most important position in the game of football so teams aren’t exactly going to risk not having someone who’s capable manning it for them. This is why the Falcons chose to pay Matt Ryan, and it’s potentially the reason why someone could pay it to Bridgewater (in terms of believing he’s capable of doing it himself).

With $30M becoming fairly normal for new quarterback contracts, the price for quarterbacks of significant accomplishments will continue to rise. Dak Prescott has a résumé that puts him in line to be paid in the upper tier. If you thought that Dak was going to sign for $30M per season, even if you thought this a year ago, you’re not going to get that wish.”

To be fair, it’s As confirmed as all the rumors about Dak wanting 40 mil.

How so? Who is representing him and what is the history behind how they negotiate? We know that with Dak. I have no idea with Bridgewater. Here's the interesting part though. What if Bridgewater did get 30, which is much less then 40, does that set the market for Dak?

Starting QB market value was established way before this tweet was sent out my man, if he’s signed as a starter it’ll be for a lot closer to 30M than it is to 20 and you can bet on that lol

Really, doesn't seem like that to me.

More from the article if anyone doesn’t wanna click the link:

Someday whatever Dak is paid will look just like this value

“As you can see, Matt Ryan’s annual value is starting to look like a bargain with the new contracts rolling in. It would be a dream to have a quality quarterback locked in long-term for $30M a season, right?

Whatever the Dallas Cowboys sign Dak Prescottto as far as his annual value is concerned... it’s highly likely that two years from now it will look just as friendly as Matt Ryan’s does now. Again, Matt Ryan’s deal came just two offseasons ago and now his figure is being associated as the neighborhood that someone with as much mystery as Teddy Bridgwater could land.

There are plenty of other quarterbacks that will be paid in the years to come. As it currently stands, Pat Mahomes needs a new deal, so does Deshaun Watson. Just one year from now quarterbacks like Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen, and Baker Mayfield will be eligible. A year after that Kyler Murray and Daniel Jones could get new deals. The cycle of quarterback payment life will continue to roll on and on and on as long as the NFL continues to make more money (which is highly probable).

Plenty of people have been saying that the Cowboys need to have beaten Philadelphia and the Los Angeles Rams in striking deals with Carson Wentz and Jared Goff. They obviously did not do that. Now the race is on to beat Kansas City and Houston for Mahomes and Watson, but even a deal for Teddy Bridgewater at the reported yearly value could up Prescott’s price.”

If we are to believe what is being reported, this entire article could not be more wrong. All of this is predicated on the idea that in two or three years, a contract with Dak will be a bargain but the thing is, all fingers seem to point to the idea that Dak only wants to sign for two or three years.

If we talk crazy on this board, how much more crazy are these guys talking?
I'm in Josh Norman's boat, they need to put a ceiling on QB pay. Actually they should put a ceiling on all positions.

Sooner or later, they have too if the league is going to survive. Common sense has to prevail at some point.

That's like the Dak's BS that Brady's wife makes so much Tom doesn't need more. Think how stupid that is.

Do you deserve more money because your co-worker's wife makes more than him/her? Next time you come up for a raise use that logic and see where it gets you.

The point is we have no confirmation about what Dak’s asking prices have been. For every “report or rumor” about 40 million. Is another report or rumor saying that’s false.

just like this teddy thing. There’s no way to know for sure if a front office would actually be willing to pay him 30. Not until free agency truly begins and we see what happens.

All of these reports are rumors and speculation. That’s the point I’m making. My original post was meant to Call out the accuracy of all the reports we are hearing about players contracts at this time.
