You and I both know it would never play out like that. The vast majority of fans will whine about it and tell Dak to honor his contract, and that he should have negotiated better on the front end and not expect the Cowboys to come back to the table when he agreed to the deal. Most fans ridiculously believe that you can't "outperform" your contract, but are cool with underperformers being cut or asked to take less money.
disagree. Both sides lost leverage. Dak gambled and broke even. He got injured badly. He may not be 100% by the opener. Dallas screwed the pooch by not acting more diligently last year. Daks agent is largely to blame here. ALL PARTIES INVOLVED LOOK BAD EQUALLY. Dak won't be playing on the tag again.
While understood...he would make even more money if he can get a long term deal done with the guaranteed money up front.
Wouldn’t hurt my feelings. But say we did, and Zach only ends up playing about as well as Dak ever did, and the contract is due for an extension, then who do we blame?
Throwing the baby out with the bathwater is foolish.
This is going to come as a shock to some fans
The owners disguised it as a "reward" for players, but its really about controlling a player, not rewarding them at all.
Exactly
Or you're hedging your bets in case Wilson looks horrible so you dont make another idiotic claim about how smart you are about player evaluation.
90 percent of the NFL has Dak in the top ten in the league at QB. You cant pick and choose when to listen to insiders and when not to my friend
Lol, better than ever. Down 3+ touchdowns to Cleveland and Atlanta, and losing to the lowly Giants when he got hurt.
