Cowboys extend offer to Lamb at $33mil/season

[CTcowboy203]

Well we know this won't happen, he'll be signed to something close to Jefferson I say 35

Last I checked 33 was pretty damn close to 35 but math was never my strong suit

Depends on how you take it.....

You can’t spin what you said. Do you believe it or not?

 

[MarcusRock]

The Cowboys do

They don't though. That's why they're negotiating and making offers. Ask that question about Ayiuk for the 49ers and it's a different answer.

 

[Risen Star]

Disgusting. I hope they trade him.

 

[Buzzbait]

Remember that a players salary is divided into 17 game checks. And depending what state the game is dictates withholding taxes.

That's a shame if a body has to pay taxes like most other people.

 

[Cowfan75Lives]

Whatever. I'm fine extending or trading him. This won't be the decision that dictates the fate of the next 5 years. That is still in limbo.

Yeah , how is going to Survive making only 33$ million per year ????

All it takes is one bitter baby mamma and poof, all that cash is gone.

I want too see what the guaranteed money is.

Our 2024 cap is jacked. So it has to be 2025 $$$ money they are playing with.

Don't know about fair but the front office saying, "See? We offered so much" is meant to make the player look greedy which they know the fans are biased towards believing. PR game (see this thread for how effective it is). Same in the Dak negotiations last time "leaking" that Dak asked for $40M and Dak's team actually had to address it in the media. It was poetic justice that they wound up signing him for exactly that.

If Jefferson is at 35 then 33 appears fair, although I doubt it gets it done. Yes the FO is well versed at the PR game and trying to win in the court of public opinion. I have little doubt they leaked that number.

 

[Bullflop]

Extremely well, no doubt . . .

Wow, seems more than fair to me!

I'd grab it and run like hell.

Exactly. Men who catch a leather ball for a living should be making one billion per year. Piddly jobs such as surgeons who have lives in their hands should be making peanuts on the dollar.

 

[rambo2]

With Dak, Cee Dee, my main man Ferguson who hates the Packers even though he played at Wisconsin, some mean and nasty offensive lineman, a new DC with Parsons leading they way with Bland, Diggs, Overshown and the rest you’re spot on saying this is a GOOD THING.

I know, that's why this constant negative take is so funny.

They are risking their health.

When people start buying tickets to watch surgeons work, or FS1 starts televising surgeons at work and people tune in rather than watch “Andy of Mayberry“ re-runs, surgeons will be paid more than they are now.

To quote a 90's favorite movie of mine "The Program":

• Regent Chairman: This is not a football vocational school. It's an institute for higher learning.
• Coach Winters: Yeah, but when was the last time 80,000 people showed up to watch a kid do a damn chemistry experiment? Why don't you stick the bow-tie up your ***?

 

[zerofill]

Yeah remember decades ago when Jerry didn’t want to pay Amari 20m per year? Oh that was only like two ago

Yeah no kidding lol

 

[HungryLion]

Nothing sneaky about it. We've won 12 games 3 years straight. We should be good. The question is, can we be great?

And the answer is no

 

[noshame]

Throw a few incentives in there and let's get rolling.

Simple solution for you since you’re so upset; Don’t watch.

I understand why entertainers can be paid more than surgeons. And I have no problem with it.
