In other words, Irvin is firmly of the belief that Dallas needs to pony up the dough.

For what?

Irv is prob my fave Cowboy ever, but this is an idiotic take

If Dak ended up getting drafted by one of the teams with an established QB, he would be just hoping for a near minimum deal to stay in the NFL after having rarely played. The fact that he got drafted by Dallas and then the team sat a healthy Romo just to keep things the same is something a lot of teams wouldn't have done. Hell, most teams would have had a quality back up behind Romo to start with and not trusted a mid round rookie.

Dak should give Garrett a cut of his next deal because without him, Dak wouldn't have even got the chance that he had.

Cowboys wasted Prescott’s rookie deal.

HungryLion · Jun 7, 2020

The cowboys absolutely wasted his rookie contract. The cowboys had probably the best bang for the buck QB play wise in the entire league and Garrett and company flushed it down the toilet.

All that being said. No the cowboys don’t owe Dak, back pay. Lol Irvin’s out of pocket on that one.

Dak only got his chance to play because our backup QB broke his ankle. I was all in on the let Romo start train, but understood why they left Dak in. Heck we went 13-3.

I don’t fault Dak for his contract demands. He has every right to get everything he can. On the flip side, there’s no such thing as backpay. He agreed to the contract when he entered the draft.

Moore got injured a few days into training camp. Dak could have won the back up role by the end of camp, especially considering how well he played in the preseason games. We will never know but it’s not like Moore was the back up near the end of camp.

He was paid according to his draft slot.

He fell in the draft at least in part because of his DUI.

The Cowboys owe him for that??

Owe?

Michael, did you pay taxes on the stash found in a motel room with your pals?
What became of that?
Or the dumpster driving search to find a disposal for a ... drug pipe?
Shut up, you without sin!
You are no contract specialist.

Total B'S that's the way the NFL Operates in the collective bargaining. Their first contract is lower and usually a 2nd or 3rd is higher. Irvin it's today's NFL.

In other words, Irvin is firmly of the belief that Dallas needs to pony up the dough.

I love how people act like being the starting QB for Dallas hasn’t afforded Dak a multitude of earning opportunities.

agree on all! Prescott wasn’t the only thing JG wasted....
Dak has more than made up for lesser salary with endorsements that came exclusively bc he is a Cowboy plus lower taxes by being a Texan.
Additionally, if this is now you’re standard then players should be on sliding salaries with performance metrics. Only fair.
Players sign big contracts and don’t perform,,,,then they give some back....based on Irvin’s logic that’s the only way what he is espousing could make any sense...

does anybody really care what muskmelon mouth has to say?

alicetooljam · Jun 8, 2020

This has seemed to be the mindset that Dak has had from the get-go when it comes to a new contract that has been annoying. Entitlement.... Cowboys dont owe him for what he didnt do in college to get drafted higher, nor would he be getting a 2nd contract in this range had he not played as much as he did. Most 4th round QBs will never sign a 2nd contract that averages 30-34 million a year and he acts like its not enough...
