Can we really afford to pay Dak 50 million and Micah a huge deal?

[baltcowboy]

I really wish Dak would pull a Tom Brady and take less to help the team keep building a winner around him. Being greedy is going to get him off the Cowboys eventually. Hope he understands that and makes a wise decision if he truly wants to remain a Cowboy. $30 - $40 / year is plenty of money.

I agree but the owners are making so much money and the majority of players seem to be getting screwed I don’t blame Dak for getting every penny. You hire France for a reason. In reality Dak seems to want to be a Cowboy so I think eventually both the team and Dak will have a compromise. The problem is if no contract is worked out before the season, you run the risk of injury or the Cowboys have an early playoff flameout. I think the Cowboys make a different decision then what they did in 2020.

Dak ain't getting 50 mil that would be ludicrous

Won’t be long before it’s 100. Dak won’t see it but some of the younger QBs might.

No, which is why they will extend Dak to spread out the cap hit. Not what some of us want to hear, but it'll happen.

Which questions why the trade for Lance.

He almost certainly will get that or close to it. That's the going rate for a good QB. Regardless of what fans do or don't think of Dak, the Jones family thinks he's SB capable.

So you talk to the Jones clan regularly?
All signals point to the opposite esp the last one involving Trey.
How could any owner be happy at the Dak era esp having to pay all that cash for 2 playoff wins in 7 seasons?
Send my regards to Jerry will you bud.....

The going rate for superstar elite qbs is that. Dak ain't getting that he will get something in-between what dimes got and the elite tier.

I was thinking a Mahomes. Take less, have a better team, take the pressure off and you still have more money than you will ever need.

Only in Monopoly money.....and we can include Park Place and the shoe.

Made me laugh

Please someone tell me how we will make this happen and be able to do other things with this team in terms of signing other players

If we could, would you want to?

LOL he's getting close to $50M if not more. Murray and Watson got $46M, Dak'll get more than that.

no, Dak contract will not have. 50m hit. None of the QB deals work like that.

He has proven he is capable. And according to every QB ranking list out there, he is capable.

Who is we? Are you starting a ******** or something? I wouldn't worry about those guy's money. I'm sure they'll be fine as will their kids and grand kids.

I didn't want to make this another trey lance thread so I didn't mention him in my post, but it was on my mind with this post. Extend him that's fine

 

[Coogiguy03]

We shouldnt , Dak is paid the market rate already , unless he propels the cowboys into higher tiers this year , we should go in a different direction, with Micah I am bit torn , Dont know he will turn out to be which Demarcus - Ware or Lawrence after paid , he will command a rate which probably will be out of range if he continues to do things better.

Great great post!!!!! So basically don't rush with Dak? Let him play out the season before he gets paid??? Micah I'm torn too I feel like people are still stuck in his first season here. He's great, want to see him really take over games, there's been games where he was quiet

 

[Coogiguy03]

We can and will. The cap is always rising. Dak will be amenable to a longer deal now that he will be going into a 3rd contract and that will allow a ton of flexibility.

The cap is not hard to figure out. You just need a spreadsheet and a basic understanding of accounting and math

Please help

 

[Coogiguy03]

That's why Trey Lance is here. They are going to make a change if he craps the bed again in the playoffs.

I didn't want to mention him lol

 

[Coogiguy03]

Lance is here for a reason, so when Dak asks for $250 million with no NFC Championship nor SB, he'll be playing in MIA.

LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL dang
