Does Dak really care about the Super Bowl when he negotiates for every penny?

I like Dak and he is a smart person, BUT, He knows this team needs Defense badly! We cannot win a Super Bowl without a legitimate Defense. As great as Tom Brady is, he has never won a Super Bowl without an outstanding D. Look what Tampa Bay’s Defense did to Aaron Rogers and Mahomes in back to back games!

I wish Dak would have taken 33-35 million( still Amazing $ ) per year. This would have left more money to sign someone like KJ Wright prior to the draft. This would have, enabled us, to check of a MAJOR DEFENSIVE need prior to the draft.

What has Russel Wilson won since signing his huge contract? Not many playoff games! He just whines about getting sacked. Hey Russel, maybe your team could have upgraded your O line, IF THEY HAD THE MONEY!!

Is dak the general manager? No. It's his job to build the team.
You don’t understand the concept of a salary cap do you? There is only so much money to go around. If you over pay guys( Dak, Zek, Jaylon, etc. ) there is less money to go around to the other players and there is less money to spend on Free Agents!
Dak insisting on every penny does not help the General Manager build our team. Also, this is Dak’s decision not his agents.

They all care about winning but show me the player that cares more about that than the money. Brady? Nope, he had no choice but to play Belichick ball.

Going for the gold as an individual has nothing to do with what these players feel about their team. Two completely separate things.

Guys that barrel head first into larger players intent on harm care about winning.

they are not tied together, i realize your point and like a few QBs we know recently took less , most separate business from playing..

so while dak choked jerry for every penny, he will step on the field as motivated to win SB as anyone around the league..not any more or less then any other player no matter their contract size..

As a fan you have to separate the two as well..they have short careers and some just take all they can get while they can get it..

while it would have been nice for him to be hero with the fans and to the team by taking 35, he didnt , i doubt its because he doesnt care..

This is an old and tired argument and it is not his job to help them manage the cap. Did Lawrence, Smith, Elliott or Cooper? One player has cut them a family deal, Big Smitty because he feels he owes them for helping him through his family ordeal.

Definitely not a Dak should have gotten what he did proponent but you can hardly blame him for getting as much as possible. Average NFL career is 3 years and he found out the hard way how fragile careers can be.

I'm not sure you understand what daks job is. Go ahead and refresh my memory and let me know how the salary cap is implemented into being a quarterback

If I’m a cowboys player. Why do I take less money, while Jerry And Stephen are busy making stupid decisions like overpaying Zeke.

Over paying Jaylon

over paying Tyrone Crawford

The list goes on.


You want me to take less money so you can pay Jaylon to run around like a ****in idiot looking like a chicken with its head cut off?


You want me to take less money so you can pay Tyrone Crawford to do basically nothing and be on the bench hurt most of the time?

Lol yeah right

That is a cop out.
I don't agree. Don't you think the Lawrence, Smith, Elliott, Cooper deals set a lot of this in motion? The Joneses are blinkers, any agent that lest them off hurts his own reputation. If you're an agent with a Cowboys star, you will get him into the top 3-5 or you will not grow your own business.

Every agent competing with France used the same approach with a player considering him because of this deal. Yes, but look who he was dealing with. They are the worst people at dealing with star players, why should the QB be any different.

There is also another piece to this that every agent in the biz was aware of regarding the cap. They had some inside dope on the TV deals so they knew the cap would be climbing at a greater rate than in the past. They're not just fighting for today's dollars but tomorrow's as well.

Check Prescott's deal against Allen, Mayfield, Murray and then we haven't seen the other shoe with Rodgers and Wilson drop yet either.
