Time is up to give Dak the benefit of the doubt.

I think this organization has been more than fair to Dak with their offer They have indicated they are willing to gamble everything on him despite (let’s be honest) him not proving himself yet. They’ve already taken the step to offer more than he’s worth.

Last year, even the first three stellar weeks, accuracy was still (and always will be) a problem.

And for the life of me, I don’t understand how he doesn’t realize that QB of Dallas Cowboys is worth 10x more in his post NFL life and endorsements than going to a small market afterthought.

He has proven he does not care anything about this franchise and his teammates. Surprising, yes, but now clear to any unbiased observer.

It is time to seek trade offers from other teams and think about moving on. We do not want to hitch our wagon to this horse.

I agree. Dak apparently is in this for the wrong reasons, and as long as he is focused on the money he is not focused on football. Troy Aikman once told his agent, "Just get as much as you can and get it done" when he was in negotiations with the Cowboys following the 1992 season.
Dak seems to be more concerned with the status of being the highest paid- despite the fact that he's nowhere near worth that distinction.
And I am concerned with his attitude of not wanting to report if he is tagged. IF Dak fails to report, the Cowboys should immediately release him.

:huh: Man are you serious? Whether you like DAK or not this is a business. Your agent is there to get you the most money possible. Dak wanted the tag because he knows there are 2 other QBs next year that are going to get paid north of 38-40 million a year. I don't understand how anyone can blame Dak when Cowboys management sat on their thumbs while Goff and Wentz deals set the market. For 4 years they paid this guy PEANUTS. Wentz and Goff have been paid nearly 25M more in these 4 years. GET YOUR MONEY DAK!!!!

Folks this is Professional Football.

Emotions have no value at negotiation table.

Nobody talks this emotional stuff when Dak is running around and somersaulting into the End Zone putting his body on the line...

Because you don't understand economics obviously.

Thank you...…...this is what so man on this board don't seem to get. It's not always the BEST player that gets the BIGGEST deal. It's the NFL Marketplace. As soon as Dak signs long-term for a ridiculous amount, some other player will beat that deal, Mahomes will get his record deal, then Russ will renegotiate HIS deal and become the highest paid QB...…...again. Just how it works.

Honestly if Dak wanted a short term deal the Cowboys might as well just tag for 2 years!

Another Rowdy vents his emotions. :muttley:

It's a contract negotiation, not fantasy camp.

Of Course he should be paid more than Russel.. If you take a look at Russels first 4 years compare to Dak's, you will be surprised:
Year for Russel: 2012-2015
Years for Dak: 2016-2019
Games: 64-64
Wins: Rus: 46 Dak: 40
Losses: 18-24
Winning %: .719 - .625
Pass Compl: 1123-1363
Pass Attempts: 1735-2071
Comple %: 64.7-65.8
Pass Yards: 13974-15778
TD: 106-97
INT: 34-36
Rushing Yards: 2430-1221
Game Winning Drives: 18-14
QB Rating: 101.8-97.1

Better Pass Comple, Attempts , Completions and Yards more for Dak..

Therefore Dak should be payed more than Russel.. Even if he has 1 SB...The whole team wins SB not the QB only, excluding
Brady..
