Brady is an exception to the rule and he has proven that before he was available last offseason. What he did is normal for him.
Sure, but as I said, you never know.

Who besides Dak could you possibly think they've played hardball with?
On the guys that matter? Lawrence had to hold off on his surgery to get a deal done after being franchise tagged. Zeke had to go to Cabo to get a deal done.
The only guys who didn't have to do anything were Collins and Jaylon and thus far they are a GREAT return on investment....one is completely lost and the other hasn't even played a game since getting his contract.
Cowboys are using Dak's kindness in their favor. They know Dak would NEVER sit out like Zeke did or hold off on a surgery like Lawrence did. They know they can tag and play hardball with Dak because at the end of the day he's going to be out there game 1.
They also try to use the cowboys brand as a bargaining chip.
Chiefs handed Mahomes a blank check. That deal is going to get structured so much.This is laughable, and the NFLPA is meddling in the Dak contract business. Is Zeke's contract cheap? Demarcus Lawrence's? Jaylon's? Coopers? Tryone Crawford's?
If the Cowboys are so cheap then how is it they are up against the salary cap?
I am growing pretty sick of all these idiots saying "just pay Dak what he wants" without knowing what he wants? They can all just bugger off. Last year, and earlier this year we heard Dak wants a shorter contract. Fine, but if he is only going to sign for 3 years then there is no way he deserves or should get Patrick Mahomes money, not even in the neighborhood. Mahomes' contract averages $45 million a year OVER 10 YEARS! 7 years from now $45 million is going to seem like a bargain. But this year and next, and probably for another year after that, $45 million is going be a lot of money for Dak or for Mahomes. Majomes' 2021 CAP impact is $21 million. That would not be possible on a 3 or 4 years contract.
Probably so. It would make sense in negotiations to do so.
AgreedNot really fair overall.
They typically over pay for their own.
They just refuse to sign decent free agents from other teams.
