Recap: Anyone still think Dak was wrong to turning down Cowboys Deal

Qcard · Jul 6, 2020

One things for sure Dak is a savvy business man. Todd France and CAA were hired by Dak and his brothers to get them to this position if Dak did his part.....

I really wonder what the Cowboys initial offer was??? In hindsight could be very insulting....

Yeah, real savvy taking a 30 million dollars less last year to put himself in position to play on a tag. :lmao:

I think he could have signed last year and been 20 million ahead right now. Instead he plays on the tag, won't get more than mahomes so at this point his posturing has lost money he may never get back.

Assuming the deal was for 30m per season, he turned that down to make 2m, so he is 28m in the hole, that is lost money that can never be recovered, so ya imp he made a mistake

Dak bet on himself and won. The intelligent fans, those who know he can lead this team to the Super Bowl, also won as we’ve been watching the Dak haters squirm and in the process show their ignorance. It’s been a great thing all around.

Dak will easily get $38 - $40 per year now at a minimum thanks to Mahomes' new 10 year/$503 million with $477 million in guarantees/$45 mil/year average new contract extension.

You "don't pay Dak" Daktractors are foolish for having pushed the tag and much lesser pay which Jerry obviously listened to. Who is laughing now? Not you. It's Dak because he now knows he is worth at a minimum around $40 mil/season which Jerry will have no choice but to pay Dak since the alternative will lead to years of average play + rebuilding for years to come + playing musical chairs at the QB position.

Not correct. He would’ve played last year on his rookie contract. He would’ve received bonus money up front but he’s still going to get that when he signs his extension.

Absolutely. Really dumb.

Cowboys never made an insulting offer. The range that starting QB's are being paid is 22-40 mil. The first offer by the Cowboys was a nice opening offer.

It was a bad move by Dak.

Cash is king and never more so than with this god awful pandemic. It's a bit crass but if Dak had signed in March, I pretty confident any investment advisor could turn that into far more than he'd make by holding off. If he waits until next year and signs in March for 40m a season a lot of opportunities created by Covid are gone. If he's smart he gets his money before July 15 and pushes as much into a signing bonus as possible.

Not yet.

None of us know enough details to draw such a conclusion but I'm sure it won't stop some folks.

Well we don't know the details of the contract but i am willing to bet he would have gotten a very large signing bonus upfront, to offset the 2m

That's your take?

QB salaries just went up.

Yet, somehow now Dak is gonna get less?

What do logic mean?

I still believe you play him on the tag and if he plays like Mahomes, you pay him like Mahomes. Dak hasn't had one year as good as 2018 or 2019 by Mahomes, and came his closest as a rookie. See if he can elevate himself to that level and pay him accordingly.

And I'm not saying that to be critical of Prescott. I just would like to see what he can do under a real coach before figuring out if he's closer to Wentz/Goff level or Wilson/Mahomes level.

And before anyone says he's already on Wilson/Mahomes level, Wilson had a 106.3 rating last year and 110.9 the year before and Mahomes had 105.3 and 113.8. Dak's last two years were 99.7 and 96.9. His best is 104.9.

35 is plenty for dak who is a top 12 qb

leeblair · Jul 6, 2020

When Jerry offered and Dak turned it down, that's where both made huge mistakes.
I won't mind it if Dak proves he can be a leader, but he can't do what he did in 2019 and expect big money.
EDIT:
I really don't care if Jerry loses a ton of money after the way he's treated the fans for the past thirteen years.
Give Dak $50 million for 10 years. You pee'd away more than that while slapping the fans in the face every year with Garrett and didn't care.

Jipper · Jul 6, 2020

Honestly I don’t care anymore.

thats what this has done, made me literally not care....honestly pay him don’t pay him I could care less

Players don't get paid the same just because they play the same position as someone else.

Even if he signed last year he still would have finished out his commitment under his rookie contract before the extension kicked in this year.

You have no idea as the rest of us what so-called deal was offered if any so stop pretending that you're Jerry Jones man....
