Brees willing to take below market contract

[Corso]

I wonder if giving Taysom Hill a 1st round tender upped the ante on Drew wanting to play this coming year with the Saints.

 

[MarcusRock]

I wonder if he would take below market value if he got paid $4 million total for the last 4 years?

Of course he would. Right after he healed the blind and fed the poor.

Restructuring is only pushing money further into the future. You create relief today but only add to the pain later. When your making 35 million a year, or whatever, who cares if you are only bringing home 15 of it this year. At the end of your career, you are bringing home a lot more of it when you need it more.

Sure restructuring doesn't solve everything forever, but Romo has done it, Brady has done it .. lots of players have done it. The bottom line is players will work with their team AFTER getting their payday.

Same applies to team friendly new contracts. A guy with a net worth of $120 million and who is just trying to finish out the last couple of years with the team he has spent 15 years with will naturually have a different viewpoint than a guy with a net worth of $2 million and who is just 4 years into his career. To act as if Brees and Dak are looking at identical circumstances would make no sense. They simply aren't.

Why compare a 40-something QB that has already earned his fortune's situation to Dak's, who is looking for his first big contract ever?

Sign Brady or Brees and the Cowboys may win for a year or two, then it's back trying to separate the Patrick Mahomes and Deshaun Watsons of the draft from the Paxton Lynchs and Josh Rosens. No thank you.

Pay Dak and get it over with, Cowboys.

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

His rookie contract was set. Extending early last year would have just given him an advance on the years added on.

It’s easy to take less than market value when you’ve already cashed in big contracts. While you can certainly hope a player would help the team out, it certainly shouldn’t be surprising a player who has played for peanuts and significantly outperformed his pay rate isn’t looking to give a discount.

Of course it would but isn't that what you are saying? I mean, again, there is nothing anybody can do about when Dak got drafted. That's on Dak and his College Career. But playing for 4 mil over 4 years, that too is on Dak because he didn't have to do that. He could have had more money in his pocket sooner, if he would have opted to take a deal. He didn't do it so there you go.

WAST

And it also tells you all you need to know about Dak.

Dude is a fraud.

Pure and simple.

We need to break off negotiations immediately and go shopping with his and Amari's money.

I'm not mad at Dak.. He's just playing the game.. The problem is the Cowboys who are playing it with him.

This is on the Jones's.. They have all the information we have and more but they still want to participate in the broken QB market.

I understand but I don't view that as doing some huge favor for the Cowboys. It helps the players, especially the big time players, just as much or more.

Now taking 25 mil annually when you could demand 35 mil is helping the team in a much larger way because lets face it, the team is still going to come to Brees and ask him to restructure, at some point.

He's 50 years old and has made his money! Did he take below market when he was younger?

hes taken Below market as has Tom their entire creeer...issue is Dak knows he wont last that long , hes been exposed trying to get his last big deal.

where elite players get 3 elite deals ,so they take less.. yup its true Dak doesnt even have confidence if he took the latest deal it will be enough , might be his last starting money before hes the next keenum or fitz moving around the league..

lets stop making excuses to why dak wants russ money when he plays closer to Carr..Seriously..

I’ve been thinking on this a lot. Titan Gronkowski out of football. I don’t think he wants to be a quarterback for the rest of his life he might just know enough to say pay me now and I’ll leave when I still have a body That I can enjoy.. These retired players should be in wheelchairs they’re hurting. Just another way to look at it. Be careful be safe my cowboy brother is dangerous out there

Of course it helps the Cowboys. Why would they ask player's to restructure if it didn't?

As for Brees taking $25 million instead of $35 million, again, he is a 42 year old guy with a net worth of $120 million and trying to hang on to an additional year or two with the team he has been with for 15 years. Dak is not in that situation. I'm sure Brees wasn't giving that kind of discount early in his career either.

. Prescott Place exactly like the scheme that Is in current place. I can’t wait to see how he plays under the new coach. As much as I don’t like the new coach only time is going to tell. For me it was special teams that was a disaster. Going 30 extra yards every drive

 

[blindzebra]

Actually it was 2.5 million.
