You are demonstrating your lack of understanding of the subtle nuance of transcendent quarterback play. Brady clearly threw those interceptions on purpose so as to give his defense an opportunity to clamp down on Rodgers so they would have just that much more confidence facing Mahomes in the Super Bowl. Brady knew they had the Green Bay game in the bag and he was already playing chess by boosting his defense's confidence for the next game. Us mere mortals simply could not see it at the time but in hindsight that's obviously what he was doing.

Obviously

I meant your statement wasn't true.

Outside of that, I'm not sure if this was a request his team just made in 2021 or one from previous negotiations in 2020. Further, any term not agreed by the team or a player will innately be one most favorable to the one rejecting it.

Does not mean that one or both of the terms discussed in the OP will be a deal breaker.

I'm going off of the reports I've read of those closest to the situation that stated that was a big factor in the end

Everyone else can get a deal done but Dallas. How incompetent are the Jones's

Those others had to pay dearly to then dump those deals. How incompetent are those others?

zach Wilson is a less athletic Mitchell Trubisiky with a live arm.

Do you guys just hype up whatever no name pale quarterback pops up in the draft every year?

Only Lawrence and Fields will get a second contract.

Wilson is many times the prospect Trubes was.

Do you say stuff just to say it?

Lol, better than ever. Down 3+ touchdowns to Cleveland and Atlanta, and losing to the lowly Giants when he got hurt.

@erod the Cowboys were losing when Dak got hurt?

Cowboys were up 24-23 in the 3rd Qtr and Dak got hurt on a 9 yard run on 1st down to the Giants 18 yard line

Dak Haters are pathetic....

Love how a bunch of you guys suddenly become anti- free market when a bunch of young athletic guys get paid.

I also love the crickets from the fans when Owners charge the TV and Media Networks TOP $$$$.

Ever heard a fan complain about greedy owners? :lmao:

great post @BobbyFlame469 :hammer:

We aren't comparing apples to apples are we? Those players never played under the franchise tag already, got injured and now face the tag again if no long term deal is signed by July 15th.

All negotiations are specific things. They don't exist in a vacuum. The facts above makes Dak's negotiation different. So does the fact that those other players (I suspect you mean Goff, Wentz and Stafford) all were still under contract when they received extensions. Dak hasn't been under contract since the end of 2019. This is not an extension.

I'm not sure whether an extension or new deal really matters when it comes to tags. It's a matter of the tag giving the team a method to keep a player they don't want to lose when they & the player can't agree on a deal. Either way, my point is that if you struggle to get a deal done with a player today why in the world would you give away your tag leverage as part of current deal knowing there may be future contract discussions with this player?

Erod has a very shaky relationship with facts.

I think as a last resort they can tag him and will if need be, it will require restructuring of some current deal but I do think they can if push comes to shove. However I tend to think that something will be done longterm but as always the devil is in the details of a contract

Always have the best bank of T Smith.
Maybe there was a reason he actually got the surgery done.

Smith at the tail end is not an option in my view for restructure. DLaw and Cooper in my view are 2 contract the Cowboys would be able to do to free up money.

Tyron is a 14 mill cap hit but your right about Cooper with his 22 mill hit and DLaw with 25.
Plenty of room to maneuver as always, just depends if you can stomach the dead money when that time comes.

Also Zack and Zeke. I would not try Tyron only because he is on tail end and injuries have hit him the last 2 to 3 years.

LCollins could be considered as well at 12m.

I don't believe that having language included excluding the use of another franchise tag is an unreasonable ask by Prescott and his people. Nor is asking for the inclusion of a no trade clause as well.

If he is "your" guy, commit to him. They have played their hand regarding him since his rookie year. So, as long as the numbers are reasonable enough to still have room to field a talented team around him, and the years are agreeable enabling the team to spread his cap hit...add the language and get it over with. If he isn't your guy...tag and trade him and move on.

As an aside, knowing he wants this language leads me to presume that Prescott won't budge on wanting a shorter deal so he can test the market again sooner rather than later.

On the other hand, how many times have we seen a team commit to a guy with a huge contract, only to find out he isn't what they thought, and end up wanting to dump his contract?
I would say contract bust happens more frequently than contract success.
If Dak is confident that he is the man, why demand the anti-tag and anti-trade clause?
Play well, and take the team to a few playoff wins and you'll probably be a Cowboys for the next 9-10 years, and make enough money to last you ten life times.
.
In this case I understand both sides. Dak wants the big contract with all the safety nets. Cowboys don't want to commit huge money, and contract, on someone who may, or may not be, "THE MAN".
.
It's not my money, so I can't say whether cowboys should [totally] commit or not.

The poor guy, if he is tagged, he'll only make about $38,000,000.00.
:laugh:

Now that is some funny stuff. You most obviously lost the discussion, so you turn to really bad personal insults. Are you always this much of a coward, or do you have to work on it?

5 years no franchise tag clause. Get it done

Brady had that clause too with the Pats so its been done before.

Yeah, I think that was after his fifth super bowl

1:04 min mark. Cowboys Front Office did not want to set a precedence...

@Bobhaze please fix “Canfora” in OP title.. Thank you!

I don't believe a word that La Canfora says. Just about 7-10 days ago he started the speculation on Wilson because Wilson said something and management said he should have said it in private so La Canfora started Wilson wanted to get traded. He completely forgot that Wilson said the same thing in 2018 and what did Seattle do, they signed Wilson to at the time the biggest contract in the league WITH a no trade clause. Oh and he used the old "a source told him" on that. When some teams contacted Seattle about that they told them Wilson isn't going anywhere. Wilson was involved in the hiring of their new OC and Wilson said he looked forward to working with him. La Canfora just speculates or makes things up and doesn't do it very well.
