So you’re one of these people that believe people’s words and not actions as long as it goes with your narrative types I see. If Jerry agreed Dak would be signed by now what’s the holdup if he truly believed his words?

Actually I'm one of the ones that says there are varying reports and we don't know what the true negotiation is, so it doesn't make sense to pretend there is only one possible side. Unlike others, I'm not condemning either side.

I'm all in for drafting a QB high in this year's draft. Dak needs to know he's going to lose his job in an instant.

Is he signed? How about that true negotiation? All the talk means nothing without matching actions and last I checked he wasn’t signed. If he isn’t signed how can you say he disagrees if the actual actions don’t match all this praise? I’m not condemning anything just being real all the talk means nothing if he’s not signed.

thats AFDTER his 2 FT haul and a HUGE deal.. I meant in similar postion, not happening, they simply extended his deal, not a NEW LTD..using Cousin in any debate makes it invalid..hes showed the world what you get by overpaying for average talent.. he flashes like dak for 3-5 fames then reality's trikes and his true talent shows ie just above average but not great..

sure OVERPay Dak and never win a championship, sound familiar..yup thats the cousins blueprint..yea cant wait

I'm not even sure what you are asking. You asked me has there ever been anyone that signed a 2 year deal and then you went on to add all these stipulations lol......now using Kirk Cousins in a debate is "invalid". Its not even a debate I'm asking you questions and you're debating yourself lol.

You turned my question into some form of Dak is Cousins type argument and I'm not sure why lol.

You think Dak cares? What he won't get here someone else will give him.

Is he signed? lol - what does that prove other than the sides haven't agreed to a deal? Anything beyond that is speculation.

What praise are you talking about? I didn't praise anyone, I'm just saying there are two sides to the story, and it's a story we don't know the details of.

As for the rest, being fair doesn't require being absent any semblance of logic. It makes no sense to believe Dak would have been franchised or that Jerry would bother with this kind of protracted negotiation if he felt Dak was only mediocre.

All that said, I agree talk doesn't mean much if Dak isn't signed, but that applies to both sides. Without facts we don't know if the fault lies with Dak, Jerry, or both.

Why does Dak need to know that? I mean, aside from the fact that Jerry has never suggested as much.

Well if you agree that talk doesn’t mean much without being signed isn’t nothing else to talk about then. Short convo without either one of us talking internet crazy. Today must be a good day

Please Jerry.. Please sign away your teams future because you have a decent QB and if you have a decent QB you have to give them whatever they want because it’s just way to risky to draft a rookie and hope they could be a good QB too.

Stick with the mediocre plan.

Im not worried about it. Dak isn't going anywhere. There is still several months before there is any kind of pressure to get this done. Jerry will cave if he has to like everything else.

Because they know what the status quo thing to do is and eventually the Cowboys will give into that as well.

That is why we have the QB market we have today.. Because all these teams agreed that it’s the right thing to do to make their QB the highest paid player in the league if they aren’t completely terrible.

That is why we will pay Dak Prescott elite QB money and we won’t even have an elite QB.

They gave themselves no leverage in negotiations when they had the chance too but now they look like fools and everyone knows they are going to cave including Dak and his agent.

Dak wins and the Cowboys lose.

Why do teams need an elite QB? Its pretty much luck finding one anyway. Look at the current elite QB's and where they were taken. How many were top 5 picks or the first QB taken? Mahomes was the 3rd QB taken that year and the 10th pick. Brady was a low pick, Brees a 2nd round pick.

Aikman wasn't elite and we won 3 SB's. Its great to have an elite QB and keep trying to find one, but it would be plain stupid to give away a top 10 QB about to enter his prime. And that's exactly why most teams pay the ones they have.

Romo was plenty good enough.

Wilson is now on the fringe of elite, but he wasn't considered elite the first 3 seasons. Seahawks would have stupid to not pay him.

If you don’t think drafting a rookie QB is a risky move then you haven’t been following the draft.

Or the NFL for that matter.

I'm with you though there's another way of looking at this, Dak is actually doing Jerry a favor by demanding fewer years. Glass half-full?

It’s risky but not nearly as risky as it used to be.

Yah right. LOL

every pick is a risk and keeping Dak is a high risk to prevent success (real success) in the immediate future.

That's because you don't know jack about QB's or football. LOL

Keeping Dak is 100% the easy, smart play. And there is NOTHING you can do about it.

I want Mahomes…………..WAAAAAA!!!!! :lmao2:

Idgit · Apr 17, 2020

As far as I’m concerned, we’ve got two years of franchise tags to play with here. It’ll end up netting out about the same. We won’t be using those tags on anybody else during that time as the only players we might be tempted to use it on are under contract. If Dak doesn’t want to sign, that’s fine with me. I’m not sure I understand what the issue is.

There are always other quarterbacks available, I'm sure that Dak knows if he plays poorly he can be replaced, Cowboys don't need to draft somebody to do that....

Jerry just makes no sense. If Jerry has every intention of paying him they never should have put the exclusive franchise tag on him. Not unless Jerry is trying to lowball him. Otherwise it doesn't make any sense!

If Dak is asking for top dollar, 40M a year or whatever, then logic dictates you slap a transition tag on the guy. This isn't opinion, that's what you do. If someone offers him top dollar, you match it. At best, it's much less. No downside to this for Jerry. The exclusive tag tells me they want to sign him, but for a lot less than he's asking. If they cave in and sign him anyway, then they blew a chance at getting him for less by letting him test the market through the transition tag. Which also tells me he's not asking for 40m per.
