Twitter: Cowboys can begin Dak's contract now

[Hawkeye0202]

The faster they can get this done, the better.......helps the cap, big-time.

Dak is likely going to get a one-year franchise. If he wants a long-term deal, he's going to get shafted on the amount.

And that's to be expected - he's coming off a season-ending injury. Throwing crazy money at him would be crazy.

I have no problem paying him $40M a year if he's a $40M a year player, but prove it on the field and deliver us a deep playoff run.

 

[GMO415]

He should be signed by the end of the day. Do we need to see more?

 

[jazzcat22]

He needs to be signed before FA gets here. If he plays on the tag again, forget any FA's, possibly even keeping some of our own.
If he does not sign, then screw him, let him walk, we get a 3rd round comp. And at 10 we can draft one of the 7 top QB's. And we sign some FA's also.

 

[ShaneFalco]

I’m pretty sure no team would sign a player while that player was recovering from a major injury and on IR for most of the season.
But this is the Cowboys so.....

 

[HungryLion]

If they’re gonna do the deal. Do it prior to needing the tag.

tag is 37

cap hit on a new deal would be around 20 give or take. We need that cap room.

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

offer has been on the table for over a year. Dak just needs to sign it IMO.

Dak never asked for 40 million. 35 million was what he wanted.

Talking about 40 million when it was 35 million is the crazy part. But why stop at 40 million? Why not really make it sound ridiculous and make it 50 million?

 

[cowboyec]

can and should.

 

[Havic]

Id like to see him sign a 5 year 35 mil avg contract or if he has to have a 4 year then needs to be for less money.

GREAT plan.

Cannot wait for this issue to resolve itself, so that the post-teeth gnashing by fans posing as would be NFL general managers, concerning whatever the decision will be, can finally begin. The wait has gone on too long.

In a way I kind of feel sorry for Dak,, sucks that he got hurt,, that happens,, but he should have been a little bit more aware of who was whispering in his ear.

Do it Dallas..

You will be applauded.. It's smart.. The right thing to do.

Give him 37-40 million over a 5 year period.. This is how you get fans to applaud you while you keep us mediocre.

 

[ChronicCowboy]

If Jerry gives Dak a massive multi year deal after that injury, he’s the dumbest GM in the history of sports. Dak will play on the franchise tag again. FACT

Don't forget who is negotiating.

They have not gave themselves any leverage at all.

The Zeke deal is how they operate.

Jimmy Johnson said that the Dallas Cowboys are a country club and Dak is very much apart of that country club so they will eventually cave to his country club price tag.

Jerry will sign him. As he should.

So you didn't see Andy Dalton crap the bed in the most important game of the season?

 

[CowboyRoy]

Do it Dallas..

Better than your dumb suggestion that we sign Dalton.
