I don't like the no trade. Constrains the Cowboys in looking for a replacement. Yeah, they can draft whoever they want, but they can't unload Dak and his contract if they find a starting quality QB, so finding someone is less valuable, and therefore less likely to be done.
They've kicked the can down the road, and will be in a worse no option scenario 4 years from now.
Having said that, the money is fine to me. Getting Dak to sign *prior* to any new tv becoming official is a big deal. The wage scale is going way up.
The Dak Cap Hit, starting from his 4th year when the discussion started about extending him, is 2mil, 32mil, 41milx4years.
We end up with 6 years, and *didn't* pay him free agent money in year 4. Only guaranteed multiple seasons of pay *after* his leap in performance between 2018 and 2019.
Everyone moaning over how Jerry "blew it" in 2018 should do the math on both the cost and the risk alternative scenarios would have brought. 6 years was just not an option in 2018, nor 5 in 2020.
Next contract - Randy Gregory. Maybe they do others. Lock in players while *this* year they still face a big free agent cap squeeze, driving down the market, and *before* the new tv contracts flip that to a huge boost in cap.
