Romo was a wimp and it showed in the play offs. He was coached by 3 coaches including a HOF coach (Super Bowl winning Coach) and a future defensive HOF coach (Super Bowl winning coach). That just wasn't enough for his long meaningless career.
So who do you think we get that will take us to the SB in the draft, and will we have to lose all of our games to get the #1 pick? And if we did procure said number one pick, how do you know we'll win with him? How do you know he's a team player or not injury prone? And if he doesn't work out, then what? We start over again? And by then I'll be 60 years old, 35 years removed from a Super Bowl title? Yeah, your plan is genius.

On a site full of terrible takes, you may have taken the cake. Bravo sir.

Lol yeah, Mahomes sacrificed so much to sign a contract extension that can pay half a billion dollars. It’s heartbreaking to think about the hardships he agreed to endure for his team.

The guarantee mechanisms could be interesting. Essentially it sounds like portions of his contract become guaranteed in certain years or he becomes a free agent. That works out for both sides. It'll be interesting to see how much the Chiefs actually have to pay before that kicks in.

So the guy/gal at the corner liquor store does know things.

Tannehil actually makes more for his four year extension than Mahomes does for his first four.

With, per multiple reports, only $63 million fully guaranteed at signing, it’s a pay-as-you-go deal for the Chiefs, who surely will want to keep Mahomes for the next 12 years, especially as the market and salary cap grow and the deal looks more and more like a steal for the Chiefs, if Mahomes keeps playing like he has for his first two years as a starter.

He had Parcells for what one year that he started. Wade Phillips as a HC (seriously) and you forgot Garrett. Anyway...
When you have no money for other positions, your plan is genius. You are dealing with a lot of speculations as well. Teams have won a SB without a 1st Round QB.
Again, I didn’t say I didn’t want him to a long term contract, just not $40 mil a season. But at the end of the day, he’s also not irreplaceable. Using your prior logic about Romo, he better do something the next two years or we would have wasted time with Dak too.

Right now, he's at 31 mil

I’m also aware the Rams extended Goff early in the season at a record number and he completely was mediocre. You can overpay for garbage and the market can be over-valued. It doesn’t mean you have to pay that rate...

But that's exactly what happens. Unless you don't want to retain Dak and I'm sure you don't but if the Cowboys want to retain Dak they need to come to the realization that they are going to have to settle for his 4 year demand or expect to pay heavy that 5th year. Free agency doesn't work where guys except lowball offers especially at quarterback at 26 years old.

LOL.....Zeke now has company as worst contract ever.... :lmao2:

I am probably going to block you again. Top 5 most annoying posters on here. My point was clear.

You would find me annoying because I hold you guys accountable for the dumb things you say. And what genius blocks someone and tells them he blocked them other than some attention starved child? Please keep me on ignore I'm sure you aren't the only person and if you're as sensitive as you're acting I'm sure I'm in fine company on your block list.

Goff and Went be one UFAs in 2025. Dak wants to become one in 2024. Dallas doesn’t have to do anything. Dallas is under no threat that they will have to pay heavy the fifth year. And Dallas can just sit tight with the tag, especially with COVID.

There is no guarantee anyways that salaries are going to go up because of COVID. You are looking at a potential shortfall this year of 3.5 billion if the game is played without fans. Why do you think only five players total have signed extensions thus year.

If they want to retain Dak then yes they are going to have to come give up something they don't want. That's how negotiations work. Both sides have to give up something they don't want. People thinking they will still get Dak on a bargain are wishful thinking. The time to do that was two years ago or last offseason. They allowed Wentz and Goff to set the market and the Cowboys should've been the ones setting the market. Now they have to set the market even higher. It clearly won't be as high as Mahomes but I won't be as low as Goff either.

Dak over-values his worth. They don’t have to set the market any higher, and they offered him a four year extension last year, like Goff and Webtz that he refused. He bet on himself and got outplayed by Wentz, who had a broken team.

COVID has completely changed the game. Plus, people act like economic growth is never ending. That has never happened in all of human history...

Mahomes deal is actually a bargain BTW. His contract is noteworthy because of COVID. And Goff isn’t low, with 110 million guaranteed.

Chiefs will be the next dynasty.

Finally an AFC team I enjoy watching. Props to their FO.

I actually think this screws them....much the same way the Saints got screwed by signing Drew Brees. You just can't tie up that much money into one player...and still have a team. You just can't. I'm excited as hell now....Cowboys will be drafting a QB in 2021.

:dance:

How many more contracts do you need to see signed by either Cowboy players or others (Mahomes) to realize when a team believes in a player he gets signed to a multi-year contract!
The Cowboys are NOT sold on Dak being the future of our franchise .........HELLO ....HELLO lights are on but no one is home!!!
Jeez, man stop with the sauce will you....

Tannehil makes more his first four years than Mahomes. It’s really not. The Chiefs can walk away any year after three, I believe.

As far as a new QB in 2021 for the Cowboys, I agree.
