Disagree. The problem is that Zeke and his agent are trying to highball the team.The team wants to extend him.
The problem is they are basically trying to low ball him

Can’t ever have too much. Always want more. At least most do. I think our Capitalist society is a great example. Not sure why we think Athletes should be different?And when other posters realize that either amount makes you rich beyond rich, maybe they wouldn't be so insistent that a player should hold a team hostage and squeeze out every little penny.
Right
Why would anyone be willing to take less for an organization which isn’t doing everything within its power to win.

In what world do you live in that $31m and $33m isnt a big difference???If I wanted to make $33M a year and was asked to take $31M a year for the sake of my teammates, would I do it? Yes I would because at the end of the day, there isn't much difference between the 2 numbers.
And besides, that's not a pay cut. Dak is making $2M this year, which would INCREASE to $31M
Whether it's $33M a year or $31M a year, I still a very, very wealthy young man. I'm also making $10M+ in endorsements.
Dude once Zeke shows any signs of regression in the next three years of this new contract, do you really think the FO is going to be as loyal to him as you think he should be to the team with a team friendly contract. This is business. I see it from both sides.Disagree. The problem is that Zeke and his agent are trying to highball the team.
Oh, I don't know, Greg. Since you're going to be very very rich either way, why not take a bit less and try to win a super bowl?Can’t ever have too much. Always want more. At least most do. I think our Capitalist society is a great example. Not sure why we think Athletes should be different?
They had no intention of giving him a new contract this year.They are not lowballing him. He has 2 cheap years left on his current contract and those years are averaged into the deal. Zeke, apparently, wants Dallas to tear up his current contract and negotiate with him like he's an UFA. In any case, his best bet to get a new deal was to be at camp working, not pissing off management in Cabo.
Once again your anger clearly is directed towards him not being at camp. That is a completely different topic.They are not lowballing him.

Ah yes.In what world do you live in that $31m and $33m isnt a big difference???
Yall forget that these players have families to feed and these contracts arent fully guaranteed...
This is to all the posters who want players to take a pay cut.
If your boss came up to you and said would you take a $4 an hour pay cut so he can hire a couple extra employees so that more work could get done more efficiently. But if you don't take a pay cut they will have to lay off a few employees. So who's taking that pay cut?
I understand some make less then others but I know some here make good money. So who's taking the pay cut?
This is for all the posters who want players to take a pay cuts for the greater good of the team, the same team that will eventually cut you to save money.
That's just the thing. If they are offering around 15-16 mil/season, that's not a team friendly deal, that's a deal that's fair to both sides.Dude once Zeke shows any signs of regression in the next three years of this new contract, do you really think the FO is going to be as loyal to him as you think he should be to the team with a team friendly contract. This is business. I see it from both sides.
You gonna answer the question, or remain ignorant?Ah yes.
The old "I can't feed my family on $31M a year" argument.
That's always been one of my favorites.
I hear ya but you’re assuming they’d rather increase their opportunity to win than optimize their earnings.Oh, I don't know, Greg. Since you're going to be very very rich either way, why not take a bit less and try to win a super bowl?
Extremely stupid, too. There's simply nothing you can do w/ 33 mil that you can't do w/ 31.Ah yes.

C'mon, Greg, everyone knows there's no guarantee. That's too obvious to even say.I hear ya but you’re assuming they’d rather increase their opportunity to win than optimize their earnings.
There’s no guarantee they can win a SB by taking less. It’s not really there place to manage the Cap.
Again, it’s up to mgmt to manage it not the players.C'mon, Greg, everyone knows there's no guarantee. That's too obvious to even say.
It's not the players' jobs to manage the cap unless they're asking for so much money that it hurts the team, then it becomes their job.

Disagree.Again, it’s up to mgmt to manage it not the players.
