4 Cowboys who are next in line for contract extensions

[DZSierra]

He is viewed as a franchise QB. And that is just the way contracts work with them. The next guy always gets more.

There is a part of me that think Philly beat everyone to the punch when it comes to "big contracts" just to giggle about the position they put other teams in now when it comes time to negotiating contracts. When it comes to players and some of their ego's, money is definitely part of it, but I can't help but think players who feel they are better than higher paid players than themselves feel they should get more money.

I'm not anti Dak for any reason, but if Dak was going to make a run for the Super Bowl, he really had his best chance this past season and he blew it IMO.

A couple things. The article says Diggs is to make 4.3 million this year, and that number is expected to skyrocket. No, it's not. Not even if he gets an extension. I'm questioning the author of this article. Does he know anything about contracts? The obvious answer is no.

Dak. He already got a restructure, no need for the extension. That will come after this season. Again, who is this person writing?

Apparently you missed both points. First the standard time to extend a QB is when they have 2 years left on their deal especially when you cannot franchise them. It is actually the most common time to do it. Second, they were referring to the fact that the amount Diggs makes, 4.3m, will be nothing compared to what he will make under whatever deal he signs. The cap hits will likely be manageable but his AAV will be far far higher than 4.3m (and he will likely see a large chunk of that on day 1).

Dak’s not the type of QB I see getting better with age. Maybe I’m wrong.

pretty safe bet he's not that type of player

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

He was better 4 years ago. He's in decline.

He had his best season a year ago and got hurt last year lol.....

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

pretty safe bet he's not that type of player

Except he's literally gotten better with age aside from last season.

Interesting perspective and thoughts about Dak. I agree with the thinking, but just not sure he is the right QB to hitch our wagon too like that.

To stay in contention who is the right QB to hitch our wagon to? The problem is we don’t have a better option than Dak. Despite the fact that he’s regressed some, we’re still winning a lot of games with him into making the playoffs. The teams that don’t have a viable QB to hitch their wagon to are sitting home for the playoffs with a high draft pick. If it was up to a majority of this fan base the Cowboys would be in the same boat. We’re going to have to continue to hitch our wagon to Dak until we stop winning with him or find a better option. If we hitch our wagon to a lesser QB than him we’ll end up like Washington. They would be a good team with a QB. They were the only team during the regular season to beat Philly with Hurts when they had good QB play.

Dak fanboobs are so funny. He has not improved much since his rookie season. And he sucked last year; you can try and hide about the injury but he did. It was not to his throwing shoulder so there is no excuse for all the INTS and Pick 6's

Honestly, some Cowboys fans may as well turn in their Cowboys card now.............there's no way they will survive Dak getting a new deal over $50M+. (lol).



https://cowboyswire.usatoday.com/lists/cowboys-prescott-extension-projection-2024/


In this projection, there are two void years (2030, 2031) to allow for bonus proration and future cap conversions.

The average salary of the new money being sent to Prescott would be $51 million, $2 million more than Wilson’s $49 million signed in 2022.

Prescott currently has $34 million of cash due to him in 2024, making the total value of this deal $289 million across six seasons,

Wilson had two years remaining on his deal when traded to Denver, so his five-year extension made it a seven-year deal for $296 million in cash, or $42.3 million on average.

Prescott’s deal far surpasses that at an average of $48.2 million across the six seasons.

This contract would reduce Prescott’s 2024 cap hit from it’s current level of $59.5 million, down to $41.5 million; creating $18 million of space.

Projected guaranteed money​

In our deal, Prescott would be seeing a fully guaranteed amount of $125 million.
That would include a $70 million signing bonus (he received $66 million in 2021) and fully guaranteed base salaries for 2024 and 2025, a fully guaranteed 2025 Option bonus and a partially guaranteed 2026 base salary.
Prescott’s total guarantees would be $185 million, as 2026 and 2027 bonuses would guarantee on the fifth day of the prior season and be fully guaranteed for injury.

Year-by-Year cash to Prescott​

2024: $72M
2025: $43M
2026: $40M
2027: $50M
2028: $36M
2029: $48M
Total: $289 million

Do you ever expect dak to have a 50mil cap yr?

Has his deal hit 40mil yet in any ofthe 3 yrs so far? Has it even hit 30mil in any of the 3 yrs?

 

[KJJ]

Dak’s not the type of QB I see getting better with age. Maybe I’m wrong.

That’s one of the few things you’ve said that I agree with. He reached his ceiling in 2020 and then got hurt. He’s been up and down ever since the middle of the 2021 season. If he doesn’t improve on last season and regain his consistency, then his up and down trend will likely continue.

 

[EST_1986]

Just throw in that massive exception

 

[unionjack8]

It's 100% time to draft a qb that can take over from dak. He's simply not good enough to get this team to the next level.

My comments at the top of the post are in reference to the article projecting his potential new salary on an extension..........

4 Cowboys who are next in line for contract extensions​

With the 2023 NFL draft arriving in less than a week, the focus for many teams has been preparing for the biggest offseason event the league holds. Yet that hasn’t stopped the Dallas Cowboys from handling a little bit of other business for their future.

The team made some financial moves recently when they picked up the fifth-year option for wide receiver CeeDee Lamb and announced right tackle Terence Steele had signed his second-round tender as a restricted free agent. Lamb’s option will guarantee him over $17.9 million in 2024, while Steele’s tender pays him $4.3 million for the upcoming season. Both moves were expected, and both are players the Cowboys will continue to attempt to sign to long-term deals.

Dallas shouldn’t be done working extensions this offseason as there are a few candidates who the team would be wise to lock up now rather than waiting.

I don't see Biadasz as a player to give free agent money to. Maybe they try to extend him this year with a cheap contract, like they did with Beasley.

no ur right because he have zero football iq

most qb get better with experience because they learn from mistake dak doesnt because he cant

he will just get worse as his body break down just like he have been

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Just throw in that massive exception

One season doesn’t equate to a trend though.

Have you seen the qbs in this draft? You think any of them are good enough to get us to the next level?

Don't you know the draft bowl is more important?

I'm of the mindset the Cowboys should start considering extensions now and spread out the cap hit.
