the cowboys = the jones boys, and I doubt they are stunned, but they may be surprised and irritated that dak turned downIt's been a year. How can they be "stunned"?
To be honest all the garrett teams were bad in the redzone.Mahommes is a threat anywhere. Dak struggles in the redzone. Dang this stat is so deceitful

Not saying to slap him in the face with minimal guarantee money offer but he shouldn’t get to demand his preferred amount of guaranteed money as well. Guaranteed money is a security blanket for players signing long contracts like how Tyron Smith pretty much signed a career long contract for his first extension. Just my opinion tho. If your gonna force an organization to go along with your personal gamble where you can leave such organization much sooner, then they should decide how much security they will guarantee you.All true, but no way he does it without a guaranteed money. He's looking at one year sooner. 4 vs 5 years.
I think it's a big deal because of the upfront guaranteed money. If you only have 4 years to work with, it makes it hard to fit under the cap. If you have five, it's easier to spread out. JMO

all their offers lol.
I think only media people may be stunned.
The jones boys have developed a rep for caving, and now it is biting them in the .....!
Dak could probably say the same thing about the Cowboys unwillingness to come down from 5 years....
I don't blame Dak for wanting 4 years - he probably would prefer 3.
It isn't about maximizing this contract, it's about maximizing his NEXT contract. The younger he is as a free agent, the bigger that next one will be.
They should set it on a five year deal with the last year voidable by Dak.
Because he and his agent understand that waiting to be extended for a 4 year will cost more than it would now. By the staff waiting to extend him, the price goes up. Instead of extending him after year 3. QB markets are insane, but it is what it is.Dak wanted 3, dallas 6.
Both came down 1 year.
I dont see what Dak gains with his habits. He will play under the tag then demand another 4 year contract next year. So essentially he played for 5 years before he can get a third one. So what about all that fuzz....
Some do that which is why players walk. They no longer have take it or leave it offers.Not saying to slap him in the face with minimal guarantee money offer but he shouldn’t get to demand his preferred amount of guaranteed money as well.

Smith wasn't so much an example of his actual situation but more like how high amounts of guarantee money should go to a player willing to sign such a long contract with you.Some do that which is why players walk. They no longer have take it or leave it offers.
I wouldn't use Smith as an example as he gave them a family discount because they helped him with his situation with his family and he said as much. They went above and beyond for a tormented 20 year old and he returned the favor.
How would that work? The money is paid out up front so that's not a great idea if you are the team. All that would happen is the team would still have to treat it like a 4 year deal because they would not be able to take the chance that Dak didn't get out. That serves no purpose.
Actually, it bridges the gap in negotiations. The Cowboys want to prorate his signing bonus over 5 years. Dak wants a 4 year deal.
If the Cowboys do a 5 year deal with a 5th year opt out option for Prescott, then the Cowboys can spread the full cap hit over 5 years and then once Prescott voids the last year the cap hit for the remaining 1/5 of the signing bonus will be dead money in year 5 if Prescott voids the 5th year.

They could throw a lot of, non guaranteed, money into the 5th year to make the first few years more manageable for a salary cap purpose. By year 5, if Dak is still considered good/very good/great/etc he would stand to make more guaranteed money, including a huge signing bonus going that route, even if he voids that year. It would definitely put pressure on the Cowboys to get him re-signed the year before if he hints he would opt out.
It would help the team in that the deal is drafted like a 5 year note and caps are spread out like so. However, Dak gets his 4 year deal.
They could resolve the Dead cap by giving a smaller signing bonus, but maybe have the first three years as fully guaranteed base. Or the team could get a new deal done before the voiding of the 5th year and there's no dead cap hit
