I could be wrong but I think any contract defaults to the one specified by the franchise tender itself.
Good question. The exclusive tag prevents the team from trading the player but does it remain in effect afterwards? I would guess it does. It would be a stab in the back forcing the player to abide to the no trade clause of the exclusive tender and then execute a trade after the player signs the exclusive tender. Just my opinion.
I would think "regular season" extends through the last game played.
True but your theme song would be more Matlock than Perry Mason.I should have been a lawyer.

Had we signed him to a four year extension LAST year, then yes. 2019 would have counted and it would have been 5 years total. It's too late for that. The other teams did it early, which we should have. That does not entitle Dak to a four total contract length. The money the Goff and Wentz got in the last year of their deal is utterly irrelevant. They were 1st round picks and that how these things work. We are not signing him to a contract EXTENSION as the others did. We are signing him to a NEW contract. 4 year new contracts are not the standard the OP suggested.

don't let Pappy get you riled up. I am sure he has many likes but Dak is not one of them.

They might be signing him to a 4 year extension next off season.
Look it up, look at all of the QB contracts extended over the last several seasons. We're talking semantics here, it is technically a new contract because he's not presently under contract but they consider them extensions if they're staying with the same club.

Actually, they are considered extensions if the years are tacked onto an existing contract, which them makes the number of total years longer than the listed years of the extension. For example, Wentz's 4 year extension resulted in him being under contract for FIVE more years. That's the difference. It's a new contract because there is no time left on Dak's contract. When we boil it all down, that's probably the heart of the problem with these negotiations.
