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

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

I didn't ask the question though. Are you on wet? Just admit you made a mistake and move on why are you acting like this?

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

I'm not really sure how to respond here. What does '?' mean to you?

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.

Appreciate this accurate post summary and all your other individual posts regarding this matter as well. I agree and feel exactly the same as your opinions expressed here.

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?

#1 yes I do but he don’t have mediocre talent
#2 the salary cap is going up it will he fine come down from the ledge
#3 they all need to keep team in mind not just Dak
#4 it’s not your money enjoy the ride it’s really not that serious
# 5 Dak is far from the biggest reason this team has failed

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.

Exactly.
Maybe in 2-3 years after giving Jones a full shot, they might consider it. But certainly not the very first year they just drafted him high the 1st round.

Same goes for all the teams that have taken a QB high in the draft in the last 2 years...or ones that traded for one like Miami did. Or even ones that burned a 2nd on one this year, like Denver.

Teams like NYG, Buff, NYJ, Arz, Cle, Balt, Wash and prob Miami and Denver….you can rule them out immediately.
They all think they have their QB of the future, and on a rookie deal.

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.

That goes with my point - that amounts that seem unlikely do get paid. That's how the NFL works. Fans arbitrarily decide what a player is worth, but that's not reality. Reality is that a player is worth whatever teams are willing to pay, and if a guy with only 2 career starts can get paid a shocking amount, people should understand the same is at least as likely with a guy that has some history.

I don't agree with that. Players get paid stupid contracts, but again, the contracts aren't worth what they say they are. Yeah, player A can get huge money, for a year or two or, they can get 60 Guaranteed and 40 in incentives and who knows what that comes out to? It's not all about what is advertised a lot of times. We are definitely talking about two different things.

Than Minnesota? Ain't much difference in the top teams in the NFC. We ain't that much better.

Nick Foles was super bowl mvp.

He did, but that has never translated into being a winning 16 game starter at any point in his career. I don't even think Eagles fans can say he's elite. You hear the same thing about Foles. He needs to be in the right system. He needs to have the right talent around him. All the same things you hear about Prescott.

I think that way would. There’s a severe lack of talent in the league at the quarterback position and Dak is a proven winner.

After this year, you’ll see why he’s worth $35M. Quarterbacks typically have their breakout in the 4th year. They better get a deal done this year or it could be $40M next year.

I hope they roll the dice ...and if he earns it with a big season (4000+ yds and 30+ TDs with a playoff run) then give him the $$$.

DUO_CORE · Aug 21, 2019

The New Jersey Generals would pay him.

TwoCentPlain · Aug 21, 2019

11 Pages and no one has named one even somewhat likely team that might give Dak $30M/yr. Cowboys are bidding with themselves. $27M sounds really generous in my opinion after rethinking it.

I also think the Cowboys can let Dak test the market next year and match whatever some other team offers.

And I don't think another team is willing to give Zeke $13M/yr.

Dak, Zeke, and Cooper should take the solid offers Jerry supposedly put on the table and not look back.

Of course contracts are not exactly as the headlines make them to be, and there are factors like guaranteed amounts and bonus money etc, but media headlines don't change the fact that a player's value is what teams are willing to pay. That's what sets value, not a fan on the internet coming up with contract terms he personally thinks a team should offer or a player should accept.

Some fans end up thinking, and maybe you are too, that while the contract another player signs may not end up being the full amount because not all years and money are guaranteed, fans here are thinking it will work differently with Dak. But people aren't suggesting that. Other than the one guy started the one thread suggesting we give Dak a fully guaranteed contract, I haven't seen anyone else suggest Dak's contract would be any different than others, with a limit on the guaranteed years and money. That one poster got scoffed at pretty much across the board.

Listen fella. I am one on the biggest Dak supporters on this sight. Love the guy. I want Jerry to sign him. Question was 35 per. Why would they pay more than Wentz who is a good comp for Dak? Brady just signed a 2 year extension at 21. Why would you pay Dak 35? Only an idiot would do that.

Here's some reasons - Wentz hasn't played an entire season YET. It doesn't matter how good a player is if he can't stay on the field. So Prescott hasn't missed a game yet, was NFL offensive rookie of the year - Wentz WASN'T, Prescott set NFL record for fewest picks by any rookie QB EVER who started all 16 games - Wentz DIDN'T, Prescott played in playoff game 2 out of his first 3 years - Wentz DIDN'T, as rookies Prescott had a 104.9 QB rating - Wentz 79.3, Prescott has won 51 games - Wentz 40. How many more things does Prescott have to have done better than Wentz before he deserves as or more than Wentz?

Are you on the pipe? I am a Dak supporter. You don’t need to sell me. Here is the reality though Dak > Wentz is the minority opinion. By a lot. He is not getting paid more than Wentz. Perhaps the the contract is longer or a little more guaranteed money but overall annual comp, not going to happen. If you think otherwise you are sadly mistaken.

I agree, Dak is what he is largely due to what is around him. It works because of the run game, the O-Line, the WR's and even the Defense.

Why are you saying any other team? Obviously the Cowboys dont want to give him 35mil a season either or he would be signed.

morat1959 · Aug 21, 2019

Maybe but it would be a mistake.

Little Jr · Aug 21, 2019

It's hard to say but when Jimmy G got 27.5m to make him the highest paid, Cousins got 28m to make him the highest paid, Carr got 25m to make him the highest paid, a guy like Bradford got paid every where he went, over paid and draft picks given up for him, I would say it is very possible that a team would pay Dak 35m.

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