Sadly they will cave in because they are old football guys and old football guys still think QBs are hard to find and if you have a decent one then you have to pay whatever market value is.

Dallas screwed this thing up by placing the wrong tag on him.

The Dalton signing was brilliant but they really just need to let Dak hit the open market and see what happens.

Worst case scenario is you free yourself from losing a ton of cap space.

Dallas will cave though. It’s what they do.

If you really believe the suck so much why do you even watch? We sure as hell don't want your Debbie Downer persona around here.

So the argument is that none of the following QB’s should have long term deals?

Matt Ryan
Matt Stafford
Deshaun Watson
Jared Goff
Carson Wentz

that’s just off the top of my head

Jerry should have tried harder, even it it meant overpaying Dak. They would still be in a better position now if they had done that, particularly salary cap wise which is what matters most. Plus it would have avoided the never-ending distraction.

Dak also had an incentive to sign after year 3 since he wouldn’t be taking the risk of playing out his cheap rookie contract. He also had a more reasonable agent back then.

Well-managed teams almost never let their QB’s play out their contract if they intend to keep them.

But it’s too late for that now.

What is overpaid in 2018? Is that 27 average? Is that 30? Dak was never ever going to sign an extension because he and CAA wanted to be in the situation they are in now. You can't just put this all on the team. You don't know the other side of the negotiation.

But But But Dak should get ALL of this AND be the highest paid QB in history because he’s been made to work for free on his rookie deal and it’s not fair and it’s an injustice and we don’t care about building a solid team around him and keeping it together for years to come.

Love the trolling. But serious What I don’t understand from the pay Dak whatever he wants crowd is how they never mention that Dak has made over 50 million off the field being the face of the Cowboys. Dak is not hurting for money. At this point it’s all ego trying to force more money out of the front office. If he was smart he would sign already to free up money to get one of the handful of defense changing players still on the market.

He tried that in his very first playoff game. Brought the team back from down 18 to tie it late and we know what happened next. I guess he couldn't "will" the defense.

2016 is ages ago and since that 13-3 season

9-7 no playoffs, had horrible stretch without zeke etc, 2018 started 3-5(bad stretch again) needed a bailout with a new line coach and a WR 1 in cooper to save that season, oops then 2019 last 6 games 3 of which he was horrible included the win and in game against the eagles..

far too many stretches' where he looks like a 4th round qb.. so it what have you dont for me lately and lately its not been consistent enough for me...

so 27-21 last 3 years with no playoffs twice.. back to NOW... lets see a signature game in the playoffs that end in a FN win ..smh theres no signature moments in a loss..

I'll repeat this for those who hadn't seen it 5000 times previously.
1. Dak will be paid
2. Jones will pay it
3. Fans will continue to whine.

cowboyec · May 26, 2020

i love how the standard changes when its our QB.
i missed those super bowl titles goff and wentz won before their new deals.
if you didn't know better...you'd think Dak has QB'd us to 4 straight 0-16 seasons.

Jerry and McClay should make Dak play under the franchise tag and make him prove that he is worth big contract by winning a SB. No excuses. DO NOT CAVE IN.

so in your opinion, no QB should get paid unless they win a superbowl...so your expectations are that every QB should win a superbowl on their rookie contract or else, they get tagged...hmmm, interesting concept.

Yessss! In my 20+ years of being active in various sports forums I have never seen anything like the irrationality and pure lunacy of this group of Dak haters. No data, no discussion just crazies making up their own alternative Dak facts to suit their agenda.

Dak deserved a better contract after his rookie season. The Jones boys messed up when that did not happen. Making him stick to that 4th rounder deal for 4 years sent a message to Dak that has him squeezing every penny he can get out of his current negotiations. The Jones boys created this mess.

+1.....Here are the 2018 top 15 QBs salaries. Notice what the 2nd and 3rd highest contracts then look like now. I'm guessing a deal under $30M was possible.

I say make him win 3 SB's, and average 5 TDs, 0 INTs, and 500 yards in those games. He should rush for 2 more TD's in each as well.

NFL rules prevent players from getting a new contract after year 1 or after year 2...

You don't understand contracts or the Franchise Tag.

Based on this reasoning there have been less than 50 QBs deserving of a long-term contract over the last 50+ years.
