Signed by Cowboys ***Cowboys and QB Dak Prescott have agreed to new contract***

[bigE79]

I guess you enjoyed last season. Without him.

As much as we enjoyed the previous 3 seasons with him.

 

[Tenkamenin]

Congrats to Prescott!

 

[CATCH17]

If we don't that isn't Dak's fault. We have the cap room to do it right now. Blame the GM. Make a run. If it fails, start over in 3 years.

I do blame the GM..

Now we wait 5 years to have hope again.

Gallup, LVE, Connor Williams, Gregory, several others as well. Pretty much anyone still here from the 2018 draft. Are they going to replace them with all rookies over the next 2 years? I really don't know.

Gallup and maybe Gregory are the only 2 I'd resign atm, and maybe Williams. LVE I wouldn't keep. Plus, if we load up in FA and the draft, those won't matter too much.

What they did, if they did it, is add a voidable year. It allows the team to spread out the signing bonus over 5 years instead of 4. I'm not sure why they would have two voidable years since the max to spread out bonus is 5. It won't be more than 160, you'll just have dead money at the end.

Oh gotcha. Thanks for that explanation. Seems like that is what the Eagles did with a few of their players like Jeffery and Jackson

 

[Daillest88]

So what this 5th and 6th year option I’m hearing?

 

[Section446]

You hate Dak with a 24/7 passion = means hate is the only thing you wake up every day to.

Ah that's right, fake fan.

 

[DFWJC]

During the duration of the contract, Dak will actually make more than Mahomes.

 

[Risen Star]

The NFL officially gives wins and losses to whichever QB starts a game. It's not fair, but it's true.

For example, in 1995 Troy Aikman threw three passes against the Commanders and left in the first quarter with a calf injury. Even though he hardly played, that game remains a loss in Aikman's career statistics.

Because he started the game.

This is the most laughable defense of frantically trying to pad this loser's record. He played 4 full games and went 1-3. You don't leave a close game in the 3rd quarter and win anything.

 

[DFWJC]

So what this 5th and 6th year option I’m hearing?

Big bonus for Dallas, cap-wise.
It doesn't really impact Dak.

 

[plymkr]

Imminent now is defined as 18months lol

That's pretty funny. Well played

 

[AsthmaField]

I swear, I think all of the indecision on Dak and his contract situation helped the team breakdown last year. I think things like that (with the leader of your team) can help derail an entire season.

Very glad it is settled and all the players can stop answering questions and just get ready to play.

 

[Flamma]

I do blame the GM..

Now we wait 5 years to have hope again.

I think all of his guaranteed money is paid out after 3 years. So if the team still sucks they can move on.

 

[Jake]

Oh me no likey, Wednesday??? Dakamageddon is upon us.

UPDATE Numbers Coming In.

Jerry caved, as expected. He delayed it as long as he could as he did with Zeke and DLaw, but the old man caved again.

Dak's agent knew it. Anyone who wasn't deluding themselves knew it. Dak got what he wanted in the end. Shocker.

 

[John813]

So what this 5th and 6th year option I’m hearing?

Void years. To artificially lower his cap hits. Dak still gets paid now but Dallas gets to spread out that big bonus over a longer term cap wise.

As of now the 5th year is the only one that takes any cap hit from his signing bonus

Details aren't fully out yet

 

[HungryLion]

So what this 5th and 6th year option I’m hearing?

Haven’t seen full details.

but I’m sure they are options that the player can void. Thereby making it just a 4 year deal BUT the signing bonus can be spread over 6 years instead of 4. Which lowers the cap
Hit by about 5.5 mil per season.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

Because he started the game.

This is the most laughable defense of frantically trying to pad this loser's record. He played 4 full games and went 1-3. You don't leave a close game in the 3rd quarter and win anything.

I agree, it's laughable. The NFL needs to do what MLB does with pitchers when handing out wins and losses.

 

[buybuydandavis]

The no tag clause is the biggest deal in this contract for Dak. It basically gives him 100% of leverage when the next contract comes up because he is free to walk if they dont meet his number.

The No Trade is even bigger. Handcuffs the Cowboys ability to replace Dak. Sure, we could find a QB, but we'd still be paying Dak.

 

[Fla Cowpoke]

I do blame the GM..

Now we wait 5 years to have hope again.

Hopefully you will man up it they prove you wrong.

 

[The Quest for Six]

Way overpaid......another albatross ...average QB paid like he's elite...
