Cowboys extend offer to Lamb at $33mil/season

[KingCorcoran]

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.

That’s a good plan if you think CeeDee Lamb gives a rat’s *** about public opinion. Since the public doesn’t decide what he makes, the public has nothing to do with it. Jerry Jones wants to beat CeeDee and his agent in these negotiations. He is not going to.

 

[J_Allen]

I did not even realize receivers were getting that much now lol.

It's turned into a Passing League. This money ordinarily would have gone to running backs. I liked it better back then.

 

[CWR]

And the answer is no

Yeah, unfortunately that's my expectation. I'll hope to be suprised.

 

[goshann]

lol our front office always wait a year too long to sign our stars, which always makes their salary only go up, then drags their feet to sign them after the market has been set, then nickels and dimes them to save some money, then eventually pays full price.

And all that’s been accomplished is missing training camp time and planting some seeds of discontent within the players and fanbase.

lol yeah like we did with zeke

 

[SiCk_DiAbLo]

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

CD said he wanting to be the highest paid receiver...

 

[Flamma]

CD said he wanting to be the highest paid receiver...

He may have to sit out real games to get that.

 

[diamonddelts]

CD said he wanting to be the highest paid receiver...

To go home early in the playoffs.

 

[rambo2]

To go home early in the playoffs.

Lol

 

[SiCk_DiAbLo]

To go home early in the playoffs.

Yeah Jerry gets suckered in every time, he'll have CD highest paid, Dak highest paid, then Micah highest paid...And we'll still won't make past the 3rd round...

Or they win.

I assume the extension averages just under $33 million a year. But when you average it between the current contract it should drop into the 20s per year.

Literally NO ONE averages it with the current contract. When Lamar signed for 52m, Burrow did not go, “Well I could sign an extension that averages 55m but I need 70m to keep up with Lamar” and nobody argues Burrow isn’t highest paid.

All these extensions are based purely on the AAV of the extension and not the years leading up to it.

 

[_sturt_]

Was in the lead-up to preseason game #2 that Zack's deal got done.

Just sayin.

As you were.

 

[Tussinman]

I want too see what the guaranteed money is.

I think that's the real issue. 5th year option is fully guaranteed and supposedly Jeffersons deal was basically 3 out of 4 years of the extension guaranteed.

Cowboys want to extend him, but I don't think they want 4 out of the next 5 years fully guaranteed. Probably trying to give themselves a reasonable out after 3 years but the market says otherwise.

 

[The Natural]

The Cowboys do

yea ok. We already know what Dak looks like without a #1 receiver.

 

[Rockport]

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

Thanks for clearing that up.

 

[diamonddelts]

Or they win.

In the regular season only.

 

[nalam]

Considering no state income taxes, prolly close to what Jefferson ends up getting.

You are correct , state income tax in minny is 5 - 8.3% , so , it would be close. 33 will be more than 35 in Minny

 

[kumizi]

Notice how the team isn’t leaking the guaranteed number.

Lol, I guess you think their agents are idiots easily duped into letting the player sign a team friendly contract a year early and considerably below the market value of waiting out the season!

 

[rambo2]

In the regular season only.

Are you Miss Cleo?
