Alex Smith's contract and Dak's next contract

[Elusive6thRing]

how you think he got to the SB?? It was setup by wentz

You don't setup a Super Bowl run by not playing in any games in the playoffs. Why don't you just go root for the Eagles?

 

[zerofill]

If they pay Dak around $25mil a year... I think the entire defense should walk...

 

[zerofill]

They should call in all current and excowboys receivers and have them vote on how much to offer him.

I could stand with that decision.

$47.95 per game.

 

[CowboysFanSince88]

Why not?

It's obviously an evaluation year and not expected to lead the team anywhere. But year 2 is when you are expected to get better

Dak had a awesome rookie year and now he has gotten worse. Wentz got better

 

[mardwin]

Would you all rather have Alex Smith at his age/contract or Dak at his age/contract right now?

Neither

 

[Elusive6thRing]

Neither

Ok fair enough, but then who do you want between now and the end of next season when we have no first round pick?

I offer #9 a $20M one year deal

There weren't any quarterbacks that were available for the Commanders to sign that won in the playoffs. They let go of Cousins who couldn't get it done, and he was probably the best QB we've seen hit free agency in years, and he's not even that great. When you're trying to please your fanbase you can't just have some minimum salary unknown QB.

Like in Dak's case I guarantee if we let him walk some other team will pay him that kind of money.

Let them!

 

[Elusive6thRing]

Let them!

and your alternative plan until 2020 which is the next time we have a 1st round pick?

Just because you pay Dak doesn't mean you pay Dak all guaranteed money.

Some of you may as well face facts we're not cutting bait with Dak. There's no alternative plan.

There is a whole season and a half before we have to worry about paying Dak. Hes shown nothing to this point to warrant another contract much less one averaging in the mid 20s millions. Its looking like they've decided to ride out his rookie contract. Unless there is dramatic improvement which everything so far points to him being able to achieve, then it's time to move on. This will not be the last NFL draft nor the last one with QBs!

 

[starcity214]

Everyone here acts like getting a elite QB is just so easy.

It's that line of thinking that leads to mediocrity...

 

[DuncanIso]

Too much talk about Dak dollars... the guy needs to play much better for the next year-and-a-half before the team talks contract... I sure as hell hope that's the case anyway.

I'd sign another QB and open up the job in camp.

 

[CCBoy]

I do think we might get Dak around 25Mpy but I hold a better evaluation of him then yours. Thats just our opinions so lets see.

You may well be right...

but, for this fan, I'm paying attention to contracts for Lawrence, Irving, et all...first.

 

[CATCH17]

Alex Smith signed a 4 year, $94,000,000 contract with the Washington Commanders, including a $27,000,000 signing bonus, $71,000,000 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $23,500,000.

That is the cost of a game manager. Dak at his absolute best is pretty much Alex Smith. Andy Reid had Alex Smith and decided to aggressively trade up for Mahomes. Unfortunately I don't think the Cowboys are intelligent and courageous enough to do something similar. If they were intelligent enough to be proactive then they would have traded up 2 spots for Wentz. The Cowboys re-signing Dak and screwing this franchise for the next 5 years is inevitable. Dak will be an effective game manger again with Cooper.

You’re right.

This is bad times right now for Cowboys fans.

 

[Philmonroe]

We saw Dak at his best already. 13-3, 11 wins in a row, MVP candidate. Top 3 in QB rating. Ill take that all day long. But its obvious we need a great line for him to play like that. Which we would need anyway to win a SB.

You Prescott family members are ridiculous. He isn't giving y'all a cut stop it. We've saw this many times before from many qb's. In the words of Jay Z "you had a spark when you started now you're just garbage". Hope I'm wrong for my trash talking to friends sake but I honeslty doubt it.

 

[Philmonroe]

Look at what James Connor is doing in Buffalo. The Steelers made the right decision by not giving Bell a big contract.

Truth is outside of a few qb's you can do that for any position using this logic but most won't do it at QB.

 

[beware_d-ware]

The thing with the Chiefs dumping Smith and getting Mahomes is that Andy Reid is probably the best QB coach in a generation. Look how far he took Donovan McNabb, look how he got Michael Vick a second $100 million contract out of prison and had him playing him better than he ever did in Atlanta. Heck, he even managed to finesse a second rounder for freaking Kevin Kolb.

Mahomes is undeniably talented, but he was about as raw as fresh sushi coming out of Tech. You have him spending a year with Reid and then having Reid et al tailoring their offense for him, vs having a year being coached by Kellen Moore and having Linehan square-peg him into his offense, and you are going have dramatically different outcomes.

 

[iceberg]

i always thought Smith was somewhat underrated. The teams he's on usually wins, in the regular season at least. Playoffs not so much.

he's a career bus driver who's never really led a team to much as far as i can see.

but hey - bradford got cut. maybe we can pay him millions for 3 games and 2 seasons of disappointment.

 

[Cannibal_Cowboy]

Dak deserves to be paid in the bottom #20-32 starting quarterbacks in the league. Unfortunately, Lizard face is going to pay him top 3 money.

is Kirk a top QB?
Jimmy Garoppolo?
Matthew Stafford?
