BTB: Stephen Jones says they will not work on Dak's extension until training camp

[Hawkeye0202]

Until training camp??????? Is this true?? Why wait? I mean, what's the point ........this far past free agency and the draft? If this is true, they may as well give France a blank check coz the only leverage left will be if injury costs Dak to miss most of the season.

It appears from their perspective, that the extra cap from his extension has little or nothing to do with free agency per se but more about Lamb and Parsons deals.

Cowboys roster: How the starters would line up for a game right now​

This is what the Dallas Cowboys roster would look like if they had to play a game today

Quarterback - Dak Prescott. It’s a given. The management (read: Stephen Jones) is indicating they will probably not work on an extension with him until training camp, but he is the starter no matter how that goes. He is a very good if not elite quarterback. His success and the success of the team is going to depend a lot on how well Mike McCarthy runs his offense this year.

Is this their pathetic attempt to play hardball? He is going to holdout.

 

[DasTex]

We dumb....nothing new

 

[ChronicCowboy]

I’m ready to start over and have some top 10 draft picks. No guarantee we can replace Dak, but I’ll take my chances.

 

[Carson]

This is what we all expected.

They will extend Dak, but only after free agency happens, the draft happens and we cannot use the extra cap.

Stephen then sells you on “pie” and that the rest of the pie is for “Lamb and Micah” only to drag their extensions out as well

 

[fivetwos]

Why wait?

Because they are busy until then booking the stayjum and various marketing items.

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

Some of ya'll still think it's happening, huh? lolololol

 

[Hawkeye0202]

They will extend Dak, but only after free agency happens, the draft happens and we cannot use the extra cap.

It makes zero sense.......not to mention a huge risk. If I were France, I'd be asking for $60M+ or we walk......

 

[Blitzen]

It’s interesting that the team would even announce this. Jerry typically would just say they are communicating with Dak to keep the talking heads going the entire off-season.

 

[Stash]

Just when you think they can’t disappoint you anymore, they somehow manage to do it.

 

[Carson]

Likely trying to scare Dak and his agent.

 

[Jimbo123]

Why Wait??? The ez answer is that Dak wants to wait. The longer this drags on, the more leverage he has. Negotiations begin when there is a hard deadline (training camp starting).

 

[thunderpimp91]

I don’t think dak is a cowboy in 2025. Makes zero sense for him to sign a deal in camp.

I may have missed something somewhere, but where did Jones actually indicate that they will probably not work on an extension until training camp

Signing a deal in camp will get him his 4-year $240M deal...

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

A whole lot of copeium going on here.

Enjoy your last year of Dak, Dak fans!

 

[Sydla]

My guess is if there is an extension, it's will be coupled with a long term deal for Lamb and/or Parsons.

They were never going to use any cap savings from Dak (if they eventually do extend him which I am still not sure they will) to get better. They were going to use his cap savings to sign their own guys because they love throwing big money at their own guys.

 

[DCwarrior]

No way Stats P holds out. Too much money on the table and we know he has his priorities.

 

[buybuydandavis]

Good. Then they start to fine him and claw back some of that 60mil cap hit.

They're giving Dak options
1) Play under the current contract with the team bringing no free agents to replace the ones that left. Tyron. Biadasz. Pollard. Gallup. So far.
2) Come to the team with a deal to lessen you cap hit.
3) Demand a trade.
4) Hold out and get fined.

3 looks like the best option to me, but that's up to Dak.

 

[thunderpimp91]

Or he could just play out the year and hit free agency and make $70 per year.

It also makes zero sense for the cowboys to do an agreement that late unless they just don’t care about improving the roster.

An august extension just tells the world that Jerry/stephen have zero plan and zero control over their organization
