Brock Purdy on why he took a team friendly contract

[acr731]

It’s your career and family to manage, Dak played it smart and gets this.

When was the last time anyone on this message board told their boss I’d take less money???

You clearly aren't putting things into perspective. Lets say an employee making $50k a year is asked by his boss to take a $10k cut. That is a significant, life altering pay cut for that person. Now compare that to an NFL athlete who wants a $60 mil a year contract but is only offer $50 mil. If this person only gets 50 mil, is he really being hit that hard? It's 50 freaking million a year...

Now why couldn’t dak be like this?

What happened was that they were paying off the remainder of Romo's overpaid contract that Jerry kept kicking the can down the road on. Which is what is going to happen with the next young QB.

I agree with your sentiment. I think all of these guys are overpaid to be honest. But I do think it's disingenuous to make it seem that if Dak took less money that Dumb and Dumber(JJ and Stephen)would be able to make serious moves. Jerry does not have the brain capacity to be a serious GM.

And yet he refuses to let anyone actually qualified take over. The role. So why would any player take less with this type of dysfunctional front office?

He could had signed for more and be highest paid but admire him for being a team player.
