DALLAS COWBOYS
The Dallas Cowboys have several key players due for new deals soon, with one of them being star corner Trevon Diggs.
Diggs and the Cowboys began extension talks in early June, as CowboysSI.com was first to report. But it's been relatively quiet since then. That is until former Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant decided to chime in.
Since exiting football a few years ago, Bryant has been very vocal about issues around the NFL and especially his beloved former team. It turns out that Bryant has been talking with Diggs throughout the corner's extension talks, and he revealed where they stand right now. Notably, Bryant had an interesting comment on how the Cowboys are handling the negotiations.

"I'll say this, he is not trying to knock them across the head, I will say that," Dez said via his Personal Corner Spaces. "And I will say they're not trying to be fair to him. And I feel like what he's asking for, he is rightfully deserving of that contract. You know, I believe it should all be guaranteed."

None of the Billionaires are “fair” to the Millionaires, boo-hoo…….Dez and the entire sports media look at business through the eyes of a child

overpay Lamar, overlay Deshaun, overpay Saquon……the list goes on and on

 

[Cowboy4ever]

All players, past and present, think the contracts should all be guaranteed. Nothing earth shattering here.

I think my salary should be guaranteed, too (and increased). My bosses feel differently.

would you rather be overpaid or underrated, sounds like you look through it through the eyes of a jealous man

 

[ChronicCowboy]

Move on…dude is not worth a guaranteed contract.

 

[Big_D]

Life ain't fair. Until you buy your own team you work for them.

 

[AmericasTeam81]

Trade the man!

 

[Jipper]

I think it's all about the negotiation...typically player wants guaranteed and team wants team friendly- they are just starting the process and will probably meet in the middle

Diggs needs to be traded. That guy is the perfect next really bad contract. Plan to franchise him, draft CB high next year, and/or trade him because he is not worth a big contract.

 

[McKDaddy]

Does Diggs fully guarantee his employee's pay?

Guessing his opinion on that would be different. Funny how folks can see one side of the equation but not the other.

I'm not opposed to football going this way. Get rid of restructuring and have consistent cap hits.
Maybe it would prevent teams from going full stupid. Or if they did, they would hamstring their team for years.

I'd give him a guaranteed deal if he guarantees that he tackles every opponent in his vicinity.

Base salaries for every position & then pay for performance based on the zillion metrics available. Everyone gets what they deserve for what they did in any given year. A portion of the salary buys insurance policy.

I see a lot of corporate boot lickers all over here. Then trying to compare your life to theirs. Newsflash, they trained and worked all their life to get the leverage they can. No, your desk job isn't the same and making those comparisons are ignorant.

Also, millionaires or not, these players have a very short window in a violent sport without guaranteed contracts to make the most money they can. I see so many side with these greedy billionaire owners who do absolutely nothing but cut checks. And they got to that position by exploiting constantly.

Owners expect players to take paycuts constantly and no one bats an eye. Second players want the most they can get, everyone gets up in arms.

dez probably needs to stay out this and let the player and team handle it

 

[JayFord]

Yall kill me with the move on and trade Diggs but when the next corner doesnt force turnovers theres 50 million threads about us not getting turnovers

 

[Ranching]

It doesn't hurt to ask.

I don't understand these people. They really don't get how lucky we are to even have Diggs. But that's their answer..."move on and get someone else" as if it was easy to find the one we had.

I get we can't pay everyone but i'm in A WIN NOW mode. Why in the hell would I trade him? I'd rather lose him eventually if that's the case.

Diggs is starting to get in my craw. No way he should get a guaranteed salary, can you imagine what Lamb and Parsons will ask for if that happens?.. Slippery slope. May even want a no trade clause like Dak did. The Jones' are fools and it could happen.

Diggs is not as important as Parsons in the defense. Stay in your lane buddy.
