Fan need to look into this while taking their fandom emotions out of it. Keep this in mind:
1- Owners use the claim "if a player wants to win he needs to work with the team and consider a discount on his contract"
2- Players know owners created this salary cap rule to
(a) make more money and
(b) put pressure on the players in front of the whole world to prove they want to win and take less money
Players know this and this is where they operate from. For them, they are telling the owners "you created this cap and you need to deal with it, I am not taking less"
In a way, you side with the players of course even though they are making a huge amount of money, but they are getting the short end of the stick in a hugely growing business. Teams need to stop this game and take action. I don't like them putting players in such situations in front of the fans.
If he is your QB, give him the money and let's move on. If not, move on, and start plans for the next QB.
That's why the value of coaches and GM is HUGE in the salary cap era. You need good decision makers, good scouting/draft, and of course good coaching to maximize players potential. That;s why I LOVE me coaches like BB, Landry, Jimmy etc .. Every player is expendable with the obvious exception of once in a generation talent of course
To me, Dak did not prove he is the long term solution after 4 seasons and I don't see a reason to spend all that money on him. I truly hope he gets it somewhere else, first he is a good dude, two, he will handicap another team
