First, yes they do. More than you seem to think. Second, yes Dak will eventually get paid somewhere but if it’s not in Dallas, it may end up being for a lot less than he wants.

Wrong. Dak is going to get what he wants in Dallas or somewhere else

We will see. He may end up betting on himself once too often. If he gets hurt or has a down year, he may kiss a large chunk of what he could have had away.

What if we go 8-8 again next year. Did we really lose? Does it really matter? It's not like we are missing out on anything.

If Dak and Dallas don't agree to an extension, both sides lose.

Dak may get his massive contract elsewhere but it is a huge gamble that he will end up on a winning team and we all know how coaches and offensive schemes can either help or hurt QBs. If Dak trends downward, he more than likely doesn't cash in on a 2nd massive contract 4 or 5 years from now. Let's face it, Dak is a good QB but I think even the supporters (myself included) know that it is possible he could take a step back if Cooper or Smith go down. Not to mention, Dallas is a spotlight team and being successful in Dallas can produce huge endorsement deals.

Dallas won't have to commit and pay long term money to a QB but it will also mean they will have to fill a major void in the next season or two.

Both sides have to give a little to get this deal done and if no agreement is made, then everyone loses.

I think Jerry wins and Dak loses. That's just me but if you gave me the choice of paying 35 mill this year or 37 next year, I will keep my 35 mill in the bank and invest it and pay you the 37 mill next year.

And we know Jerry knows how to make money - he probably makes 5-10 mill off that capital!

Maybe since it’s a flat out deal and no way to prorate much he will let him play for the 31 this year and pay him 37 or 38 per year after that for a 4 year deal. If he shows out this year then he will get 40 a year.

It's not that bad.

There are pros and cons for both sides if Dak plays on the tag this year.

I know...... It seems like it should be clear right? Seems easy to understand but somehow, it never is.

Cowboy Fans should understand this better then most, to me. In the early 90s, we had a team that might have been the best of all time. We had it all but then Jimmy and Jerry can't get on the same page and it was gone as soon as it came. Looking back, you can't understand why it had to be that way and why each side couldn't see the train coming right? It's kinda like that last post. Seems easy but it's not, for whatever reason.

Players dont give two craps about which team they are on..dak will get paid somewhere..

I think they do. I mean, the smart ones definitely care IMO. Some value the opportunity to play on a winning team, challenging for a championship year in and year out. Some value money. Some value quality of life for family etc. Lots of stuff, we are all human, even Professional Athletes so different drivers are involved IMO.

The Cowboys lose nothing, they're right back where they were this year next year but looking a bigger tag in the face but they will have seen Prescott with this HC in this new system. They only lose then if they decide to let him walk and do not replace him with another at the same level he's attained.

Prescott losses nothing unless he's injured. He's got the same O around him with, assumed, a better coaching staff and another weapon added. He bet on himself in 2019 and 2020 and can get at least Cousins money with another team but whatever the deal the Cowboys offered will get upped.

I actually think it's the reverse, both sides win if no deal is done. If I am the GM, I want a look at this QB with this HC. And next year could be better for FA QB's, Dalton is sure banking on that.

I'll tell you who loses, we do. We'll have to go through this BS all over again next off season and everything Dak Prescott got old quickly.

Dak doesn't "lose." He accepts risk. There's a difference. You're saying he loses because you think he should be more risk-averse than he is, but that's about you, not him.

That's a good point.

But I think it is a high risk he doesn't need to take. He could lose a lot more than he could actually gain.

Wrong. Dak is going to get what he wants in Dallas or somewhere else

He won't get 40 million a year. I think he deserves in the low 30s though. He should just take 33 to 35 million on a 5 year deal. That's what his worth.

Let him walk if he keeps asking for 40 million.

He's not asking for 40.

I'm sure taxes and endorsements matter to many that play this "break the bank" game

Then why has he turned down the Cowboys at 35 million? Talk has it he wants to be paid the highest QB in the league.

He wants 4 years..not 5..its well reported what the holdup is..it's not 40m

Yep. And what I see is another Romo thing. Not comparing the 2 as far as skills, just fan opinions.

Dak will get paid for 4 years. Either before this year or before next year or maybe after the second tag.

Then it’s gonna be that he is over paid, no matter how much he does or doesn’t get paid.

Then it’s that he is improving and a top 10 QB or he blows it in big games. Can’t get it done in big games, no matter how many come back games he wins. What is considered a big game. Only playoffs.. Lol.

We were both on the old boards and read it and been through it with the Romo saga. Old boards had its own sub forum for it. Wouldn’t be surprised if the mods or admin eventually go ahead and do one here. Maybe it would be easier for them. Or they have to continue to move or join threads because members still post the threads in the wrong section.

I see this playing out the same way for a very long time. Guessing if we had boards like this in the older days it would be the same no matter who the QB was.. O well, I still enjoy it either way.
