2023 is year 4. Any extension Diggs gets after year 3 starts in 2024.

We’ve already been through this.

players want to sign sooner than later. some teams want to pay sooner than later. why? that means the players gets to the next contract faster...like you said salaries are going up fast....and owners want to pay now, because they know if they wait another year, then its 25M average and not 21M average.

They are not paying sooner. These are contract extensions. Here is a link to this specific player and his contract.

Jaire Alexander Contract Breakdowns, Salary Cap Figures, Salaries, Bonuses | Spotrac

He got a 4 year 84M dollar contract. That will start in 2023, and run through 2026. His 2022 numbers will not change. That's his 5th year option. Extensions do not replace rookie contracts, they extend those contracts.

What they do get right away is the signing bonus and guaranteed money in the future.

Yes. Look at Diggs contract now. Write it down. This is before any extension. He'll be getting his extension after this year and none of these numbers will change. His extension will start in 2024.

Hey look, you mentioned 2023, not me. Diggs isn't getting a pay raise in 2023.

so given this, Dallas needs to draft well. really well to be competitive because we never want to pay anyone who maybe really good. a team full of JAGs.

so in a couple of years, Parsons may want $30-35M per year. say bye bye?

I think Jerry is paying both of them. But don't worry, by the time their cap hits actually impact the cap it will be several years down the road. Especially Parsons. The cap will be much higher by then.

After this season he can renegotiate, you want start that all over again? All you want to do is argue!

He can renegotiate his extension. His base pay is not changing in 2023. He will get his signing bonus in 2023. His new contract, or extension will start in 2024. I'm only arguing because you said more money in 2023. If you meant signing bonus then I apologize.

contract extension!? that's getting paid sooner. either your contract runs out and you sign another contract for x number of years. or you sign an extension for x number of years. regardless you are under contract for so many years. players that sign an extension get their bonus sooner than later....so even if his contract did start in 2023 and run through 2026, he got paid today in bonus money.

but if GB waited to sign him until after 2023. he may cost heck of a lot more than the 21M average they gave him.......its a win win.

we have to come to grips with the reality that we are going to “be competitive “ but (barring a miracle) never win a SB while the Joneses are around

there is no way we will be in serious SB contention when we are unwilling to sign any real players in FA at all. Just building through the draft can keep you competitive but that’s it

therefore the Joneses will pay players top dollar only if they can generate greater revenue than that. CB is a devalued position in the current NFL because of the rules and I think Diggs will prove to be a very very good CB but that’s it. I think last year was an anomaly and I don’t think he’s getting more than 5-6 picks again. Parsons looks like he might be a generational player but let’s see how it shakes out

I don't believe building through FA. It's signing the right ones to fill gaps you haven't been able to. I don't think the Rams model is sustainable. Now everyone will try and it will dilute the FAs and drive up prices.

And the Same with our own FA. Sign those that have good jersey sales. Let the rest go. Only resign those with good market value ala Gallup.....

Trade away assets for minimal return.

But hey this franchise is worth 10B ala Jerry Jones. That's all that matters. We won the team value competition.

Your absolutely right. But not only cost more if you wait, waiting makes a team lose that 4th cheap year they can dump bonus money to help spread it out.

I only brought it up because some people don't realize the extension doesn't start until the end of the rookie contract. Only signing bonus is up front.

If Diggs has another good year they'll be looking at 25m per.

Diggs will be worth 2 first round picks which I will take happily rather than pay 22+ million per year

I gotta wonder just how parsons being on the field effected Digg's success. I'm not saying that Diggs didn't earn a lot himself just by his receiving abilities but i do believe some of them were the result of a QB in duress.

I do think that he has the ability to repeat .that type of season should the defense stay healthy, GW.

You just can't pay a CB that kind of money unless you are absolutely convinced you have everything else. The Cowboys don't..

A trade that nets a hefty batch of high draft picks would be better..

kskboys · May 21, 2022

Too much emphasis on CB's is one of the reasons GB doesn't go to super bowls.

That reminds me of the DBs we used to have back in the early 80s. Fellows, Downs, Walls, and Thurman was it? Maybe Clinkscale too. Besides Walls, a lot of those picks came as a result of Cowboys pressure.

As far as Diggs goes, maybe a few. Even if it's pressure, he's doing something right. Even if Diggs gets around 5 picks next year, you gotta know Diggs is getting paid. If anyone is the sacrificial lamb it would be CeeDee.

If they wanted to pay all three, which I doubt they do. They have that opportunity to do so as they are all staggard a year apart. What I mean by that is any big cap hit happens in consecutive years, not at the same time. It would be Diggs in 2025, Lamb in 2026, Parsons in 2027. Only if all 3 are on the books by 2027 would all 3 big cap hit occur at the same time. This is why I'm thinking Lamb might be the man out maybe in a trade after 2023.

Oz-of-Cowboy-Country · May 22, 2022

We can start negotiating with Diggs after week six of 2023. If he doesn't re-sign by week six of 2024, I say we trade him.
