I am not a Dak hater. I think getting him signed for the long term was an imperative. But Dak demanded a 4 year deal, which his deal is, because he WANTS to renegotiate an even bigger deal when this one is up. That means he will take into account the salary CAP, whatever it increases to, and make his demands for the most money he can get. If he wanted $40 million this time, he is going to want a similar over the top deal in the future. Any thoughts that at some point Dak is going to be a bargain for Dallas should be tossed out that window. It is never going to happen. But the salary CAP problem is not just about Dak. It is really about overpaying multiple players including Lawrence, Cooper, Zeke and Jaylon Smith. The Cowboys, who refuse to sign free agents because they are overpriced, have no problem overpaying their own guys. Will they ever learn?
I agree with you. But I'm thinking Dak is going to want around the same or just over the highest QB when the extension comes to pass. I'm thinking he won't demand more than that due to cap space, but we'll have to wait and see.
