If I'm Dak's agent I'm demanding the moon AND the stars. It's up to the Cowboys to decide if they agree with it.

That's negotiations.

They took the Wilson offer, cut it by $1M AAV, and floated it. Which is what they should have done. Why negotiate against themselves?

I wouldn't say that. I think he'll have a jolly good offer. But it'll be less than what the agents is asking. Nothing more than normal negotiations. That's all I reckon this is.
Hope so. I'm actually more concerned about having a better Dak than how rich he gets. I want the Cowboys to become a legitimate force in the NFL and having a legit quarterback goes a long way in making that happen, if Dak's the guy I'm okay with the cost of doing business. The losses are still going to hurt no matter how much he's paid:)

Give us a Break bud ...dang....at least Romo had a long ACCURATE great reading passing attack that would GUT you out if you dared to play single press coverage on him......jeez.....when the Colts did it to Dak we scored 0 points.....yes shut out after a zillion years....Now stay on the Dak bus as discounts rates are coming....
Too bad YouTube got rid of the 12+ minute video highlighting the many Romo interceptions from only the 2012 - 2015 seasons. They were a lot! Way more than Dak throws on average, that's for sure. Wish it was still there so I could post a visual factual video that would silence your nonsense.

That’s Dak’s argument. The counter is you’re paying for future production and that Wentz has a higher ceiling and produces at a higher rate per game played.

Neither of those arguments has changed since Wentz signed his deal, though.
That’s subjective. You can’t speak on a players ceiling at 25 or 26. Jay Cutler’s ceiling was higher than anyone’s but that didn’t mean a thing.

Fact is romo got very few endorsements while QB of the cowboys.

As an UDFA he got a $10 mill endorsement from Starter, then got one from Under Armor, At&T, Pizza Hut, Direct TV and many others. Even in retirement he has Sketchers and picked up Corona. Who knows how much he made in appearance fees. He probably didn't even need them as Jerry was taking care of him. He did just fine.

Make him play out the contract and franchise him next year

The franchise tag will be around 32-34 mill
Why pay him that much guaranteed

If he wants guaranteed money, he can lower his asking price to 26 million/yr
smart thing to do, Dak is so great lets see how many teams want to step up and pay him and give up 2 firsts.

Trust me when I say about 80% of all posters on the old officials boards were happy and claiming Romo deserved every penny and more from his second big (franchise record at the time) contract extension in 2011.
Would not trust you on anything with out proof that will never come, - I know time for your classic shut up, troll, more name calling. Just because you think it's so doesn't make it so.

No.

Dak actually deserves to make what Wentz was paid.

He's out produced him in nearly every measurable as a QB, especially the important stats.

Anyone who thinks Dallas will extend Dak for a penny less than what Wentz got is delusional.
Just tell him you sign or we start to tag you when we have too. Then make him run thirty times a game in the preseason to let him know you mean business. That should help him sign faster for less. Makes me sick seeing the greed of these qbs that hurt the finances of the team. As much as I don't care for Brady, he's smartest QB in the league, play for less, and get to the Superbowl more often. Then Ur worth millions and millions even after U retire due to Ur fame alone.
Heck at this point they dont even need to tag him. Jerry is holding the cards. They can play him this year and then tag him for next year.

What are you, snuggle buddy with the other blabber mouth? That's the way it was in the old boards. I find it very hard to believe you never ventured over there when it was open. Ask any other old member that's not biased, an overwhelming majority supported Romo's last franchise record contract.

Get ready, PappyDog, because it's going to be higher scoring games this year.

I think a lot are missing the fact Carson's extension does not go into effect for 2 more seasons 2021. He makes 4 million this year , the 5th year option which is 22 m. They can spread the cap hit as well while he is cheap. 2 years ago Derrek Carr broke the bank with 25m a year while most were under 20m. So when 2021 comes .... his contract won't really be bad at all. Most fans I know are good with it .... Im a little worried, but I dont work for the Eagles FO.
Makes sense! but it just seems to many fans are out to one up Wentz. Before Wentz signed they were all saying well cousins got paid and Daks better than him. Its like their pride is hurt. It just insane. They use this stupid excuse that the Cap is going up and Dak will cost them 35 mil next year. Dak deserves to get paid but he doesnt deserve to get top 5 money because he isnt a top 5 talent.

Because if they sign him now, they can spread the contract out over an extra year (this year) and reduce the annual salary cap hit over the life of the contract. They’re not going to franchise him as that will be a huge salary cap hit. There’s a reason they are negotiating now. Since they countered with 34 million I expect a contract announcement soon for around 32 million. Spread out over the life of the contract the annual hit will be much less.
