Would any other team in the NFL give Prescott 35 million?

He don’t play for anyone else so I don’t care. It’s funny to see all the posters so concerned about Jerry’s money

When they all 3 get paid and they all are fit and structured under the cap and we witness the veins of some posters pop out their heads you’ll see just how little our opinion and constant whining means



Teams like the Lions, Raiders, Packers, Falcons and Vikings missed the playoffs last year and you know what they all have in common?

Paying big bucks for a QB.

And those guys aren't "game managers" what makes you think Dak can take this team yo the playoffs being surrounded by mediocre talent?

People keep saying "the defense lost the Rams game boo hoo" well wait till we have to trot out guys like the golden cock and Bernadeaux out there for us because of the salary cap.

You can't have superstars everywhere.

If you're paying a QB good money, you're basically saying it's his job to make up for his mediocre teammates and do you honestly think Dak is that kind of QB?

Definitely a bottom barrel team would give him $35M/year. Now the real question is how much guaranteed money will he get? Players rarely get all of the incentives in their contracts so $35M is just a number.

serious question. what teams in the league don't have a QB at this time that they are more or less tied to (either financially, young player they are trying to evaluate or their current guys is a mid level guy & they don't see an upgrade)? A few years ago I would have definitely said that there would be some viable teams in the market for a QB like Dak. But now....

With the number of young QB's drafted the last few years & the established QB's (whether they be rated higher than or roughly equal to Dak), I think teams are going to see how the year plays out. It may be that next offseason, we see a big turnover in "established" QB's as teams decide they have to invest in a draft pick to try & upgrade the position.

Not sure I can remember a time quite like this ....

I think half a dozen teams would pay Dak 35m
1. Broncos
2. Commanders
3. Dolphins
4. Bills
5. Giants
6. Bengals

He’s better than not having a QB and worth 35m for them.
Maybe the Bengals and less likely, the Broncos

All the others recently invested heavily in brand new young QBs. NO CHANCE they would not wait and see what they have on rookie deals first.

But I think you might be right on the Bengals.
As for the Broncos, I don't think Elway would pay that for Dak.

Hahahhaahha....you didn't care for Daniel Jones before the draft but his stellar preseason play as now convinced you that Daniel Jones is a good quarterback. You guys say some of the most foolish stuff I don't know if its for trolling or for arguments sake. Nick Mullens? Yikes.

Regardless if Daniel Jones is a good quarterback or not, the Giants invested heavily into Jones.

They aren't going to give up on him for Dak Prescott. Especially at the 30 to 40 million dollar range.

Hahaha....I'd say TEN, SD, MIA, BAL, DEN, TB, and BUF would today
Bal? Buf? That's prosperous. Any of those teams that just invested a ton in a new QB and probably think that player is the next best thing...would never pay 35 mil for a player most GMs rank middle of the pack.
Buffalo and Baltimore LOVE their new QBs...and both have 4 years left on their deals.
You can probably add Miami too--who just got a 2018 top 10 drafted QB.
You think TB prefers Dak over Jameis? I doubt it, but won't say for sure no.
Maybe Tenn with Mariotta
SD has Rivers, but will replace him in a year or 3. Certainly not right now.
Elway not a big fan, I don't think he'd go there.

So Tenn or TB...maybe

The best place for Dak is right where he is.

Ok but who said they would? Did you read the replies or did you just feel need to defend Daniel Jones?

Ya cause only our Goofy Blue label drinking and unqualified for the Job GM Jerry Jones is the only one who would give Dak a 30 million $$$$ deal!
Think that pretty much wraps it up.....Neat please as ice would insult the Blue.....

For starters, all 3 of our division rivals would pay him close to $35 mil/season (Eagles, Commanders and Giants) if Dak was on their teams. I guarantee it. Those owners and their coaches are not stupid. They know Dak's worth and potential.

There's two people right there, or should I look up more for you?

Seems to me I read the replies and you didn't.

2 years ago would any team have given $27.5 million per year to a backup QB with only 2 career starts?

Of course not! Yet a team did.

Don’t underestimate what teams are willing to spend, especially for a QB.

How valuable is a QB that has accuracy issues, poor pocket awareness and leads QBs in fumbles going to be, especially a QB that has to have a ton of talent surrounding him? I have been a Cowboys fan for close to 50 years and I honestly hate to see the team depending on any QB that has the faults that Dak has. I think the whole situation is horrible. Resigning Dak for as low as 20 million a year won’t solve the problems that comes from having Dak as a starting QB. If they signed him to the cheapest , team friendly deal in NFL history, the same problems will still linger for the team. Money is not the issue as much as Dak’s play is the problem. After all of these years, the Cowboys have finally corrected the FO problems that has haunted the team. They have become very good at evaluating talent and building a good team. Even with all of this talent, the QB position is limiting the team. My concern to signing Dak to another contract is that Jerry would quit looking for an upgrade at QB, so the team would be stuck with an inaccurate QB that has poor pocket awareness for the next several years. The offense will be bad with Dak just as it had been the last couple of years. Dallas is about to massively overpay to be average and everybody knows it . A good QB that could drop back in the pocket and deliver well thrown, accurate passes would make this team so much better for the next few years. I see a ton of epic failures coming for this team and it is depressing to know that it is coming and Jerry is paying for this massive screw up.

This is the best post so far. When I heard Dak wants 40 mil, I nearly flipped my lid. He's not worth that much. I know it's risky to draft a QB, but that's what this team needs to do if we can't sign Dak for what he's actually worth, not what he thinks he's worth.

I think that since the advent of the CBA mandate to spend a specific percentage of profits on player salaries, the answer to that is yes. Now, let me qualify this by saying that the actual amount might not have been 27.5 as the cap changes year to year but yes, that has been in play for since the CBA included that language IMO.

You make no sense. You posted two guys who made the statement yet you replied to me. Are you well?

Question was asked, question was answered.

Not sure why it's so difficult for you to follow, but hey.. people develop at their own pace. You should be proud.

I think Tebows circus hurt him just like Kapernick

Naw Tebow couldn't play, the defense was keeping them in games and he'd make a play in the end and they'd win 12-9 or something.

He'd get all the credit for being a "winner" and having "moxie" when if the only had average QB play the game wouldn't have close. He poor qb play was the reason the needed a last second score to win.
