I hope Mahomes gets 40 or just under so that would at least put a number for Dak “not to equal or approach”.
If Daks agent looks at Mahomes contract and goes “I want that” we should laugh at him and lower whatever offer we previously laid out.

This whole drama as-if this stall until 7/15 is all about Dak wanting x-money for x-years and the Joneses not being willing to pay it?

Nonsense.

It's about Dak wanting to wait to see if Mahomes signs something in the interim.

If he does, it potentially re-sets the market and gives him an extra wad of money. If he doesn't, then Dak at least hasn't committed to something prematurely and live to regret it... the choice, in that case and at that point, will be a straight-up question of if he likes the offer on the table enough to sign, or would rather play a year under the franchise tag.


Here's a couple of things you obviously haven't though about. The chiefs aren't under the same pressure as the Cowboys and don't even have to get a contract done this season. Mahomes still has his 4th year for 2020 and for 2021 season the chiefs can exercise the 5th year option and then for 2022 a franchise tag can be done. The chiefs can take their time negotiating and Prescott is also aware of all of this too. Now it may turn out that the chiefs and Mahomes get a contract done relatively soon. Mahomes could just be waiting to see what Prescott gets so he can say that he needs to have X more dollars than Prescott. The long and short of it is EVERYONE, sportswriters, insiders, analysts and fans right now are just speculating and that is all it is.

Not sure why it would get him more money. What pattie signs for Dak should get half that amount

Again though, there is a zero percent chance he misses any games. It just does not make sense and its also unlikely anything happens after July 15th. Now Dak may hold out from training camp, but he will be there on opening day because otherwise it lowers his leverage due to the franchise tag eventually running out.

If Prescott holds out from training camp, he will be holding a clipboard on opening day.

Lets say that Mahones does sign for around 40 mil a year with built in incentives that can raise his salary. Dak feels he deserves just as much as Mahones and decides he wont sign and this drags out into preseason. Dalton comes in and plays lights out in TC and pre season. Could Dak have out smarted himself?

Mahones while Alex was still with the team turned down some commercial endorsements because he said he felt like it took away from Alex as he was the starter and Mahones felt like his time would come. People Love this kid and he will get more endorsements. Coming from money and his Love for this game He just might take 40 mil with incentives.

I don’t think any team will offer Dak the same as mahomes gets. It’s going to depend what mahomes and his agent wants. I think he can get 40 a year if he wants. Would love to see him sign a team friendly deal and maybe show Dak how that’s done. If you can’t live knowing your getting 100+ million over 4 years then something is wrong.

In this scenario, it would be interesting to see who started week 1. If Dak actually held out of camp, and didn’t learn anything about his new coach’s offense, I agree that there isn’t a coach in the league that would start him week 1. If he did, it would be because Jerry told Mike to start him. Heck, I don’t think even Jerry would want him to start for a while if he held out of camp.

I just don’t see a scenario where Dak holds out of camp. It would be the very definition of over-playing your hand.

Mahomes is waiting to see what Dak gets. If Dak gets 35 mil he is going to want 60 mil.
You could put Mahomes on any of the worst teams in the league and he would make them better while Dak would be lucky to win 3 games.

JJ wanted to trade up and get another QB in the draft we got Dak. I got the impression Wade Wilson was the only person at the time that wanted Dak. If he holds out of camp then Dalton could start. And let’s say we go 4-0, will Dak get his job back. Lol. Dak gets his tag money and looks for a job next year.

If Dak gets 35 mil I fully expect every qb in the league want a new contract that is more than Daks. Things could get ugly for the league.

Dak 35 million.....will NEVER happen!
Take it to the bank as even Jerry isn't that stupid!
He will be lucky to get the Tag money before he hits the bench!

Dak will get 35. I am thinking that has already been offered to him. Things are getting finalized. Then mahomes will get 40. If other QB want to hold out and get more then I think teams will not give it to them. We may see QB in there 3rd year wanting to renegotiate. Most likely are happy with what they got.

If Dak holds out of TC and Dalton lights it up then it could get interesting. If Daks agent is smart he will tell Dak to show up and don’t pull a Elliot. The signing of Dalton put the leverage back in JJ favor. But I believe Dak gets 35.
