fwiw...this is what most of us were screaming in 2018 or so.
Players are ineligible for extensions until after three years, so at the conclusion of 2018 was the earliest a deal could get done
And whether you like Dak or not, realistically our options then were sign him long term or blow things up and tank
In fact...we had a tremendous amount of leverage. He was set to make less than $2.1 million which was cheap for a *back up* QB
All we had to do was sign him right after Goff and Wentz...same deal. Maybe a bit more but include a bump in his 2019 salary as a kicker to get him to sign.
And for anyone who hates Dak...a 4 or 5 year deal then would mean we were in the final year or two of his deal as opposed to being locked in for the foreseeable future
