just read his agent is going up on $$$ amount sky high.Little nugget stuck in the article is that Coop trying to get paid also.
Zero combined playoff appearances in 2018. Throw in Aaron Rodgers and you still have zero playoff appearances.Blame it on gullible GMs and owners who leverage their cap space on promises instead of results.
Last year:
Matt Ryan: $30M
Kirk Cousins: $28M
Jimmy Garoppolo: $27.5M
Matthew Stafford: $27M
Derek Carr: $25M
Pay the men. I'd be happy with anything under 35mm a year for Dak and somewhere between 15 and 20 million for Cooper. Throw in another 12 to 15 for Ezekiel and we are good. We might have a problem with quality of depth but you can't have everything.
Exactly....I'm getting a kick out of reading some of these posts.........for those that downplay "stats", which is exactly where these high numbers originate from...if stats didn't support these high numbers there would be nothing to debate.............I guess we could really be lucky and have Cooper Rush as our starting QB.Guy gets a lotta grief despite having saved the franchise the last few seasons.
Pay the man! He has certainly earned his spurs for a relatively smaller salary than some of the guys hauling in tons of cash.
Yeah, and let's not forget Sam Bradford, Alex Smith, and Cam Newton.Zero combined playoff appearances in 2018. Throw in Aaron Rodgers and you still have zero playoff appearances.
Dak may not be elite, but he has us in the playoffs 2 of the last 3 years. Guy pulls rabbits out of his hat.Exactly....I'm getting a kick out of reading some of these posts.........for those that downplay "stats", which is exactly where these high numbers originate from...if stats didn't support these high numbers there would be nothing to debate.............I guess we could really be lucky and have Cooper Rush as our starting QB.
Sure, Dak is taking less than Jimmy Garapalo got after five whole games as a starter in SF.
Dream on.
I think this is because the pay scale for where Dak should fall has been established, much like it was for Lawrence. Wilson's contract set the tone for negotiations.
With Cooper, where does he fall? He's definitely the No. 1 and valued for us, but how does he compare with other No. 1 receivers. He and his agent are most likely trying to sell him as worth Odell Beckham ($18 million) or Antonio Brown ($16.8 million) money. Dallas probably wants him to take less than Sammy Watkins got last year ($16 million per year). So Dallas is probably in the range of $14 million or $15 million per year and Cooper's agents around $17 million to $18 million. It may be hard to get them to come off the Brown range, but Dallas should be ultimately looking at paying him around $16.5 million per year.
Beckham got $65 million guaranteed (five-year deal), but Brown and Watkins only got $30 million guaranteed on three-year deals, so it wouldn't surprise me if Cooper is looking for a higher guarantee, either, maybe more in the $40 million range, but if he's going to get that, we need at least a four-year deal and to bring his average down some (to around $16 million — which would be better than Watkins because of the higher guarantee).
Plus, he's exciting to watch......Dak may not be elite, but he has us in the playoffs 2 of the last 3 years. Guy pulls rabbits out of his hat.
Lol... my man!
I know in football terms that is cheap. I'm just saying football players are not really worth what they get paid. I'm not saying they shouldn't get what they are getting paid because they are a product of the market. You just can't ever convince me that they are worth every penny of it. There are much more valuable jobs that are worth more, but won't receive it because the public doesn't value them the same as entertainment. Same with movie stars. They make millions because of the money we spend on entertainment.
... And now I'm off that soapbox.
Gotta pay those private detective agencies.
Dak isn’t signing some incentive heavy contract. You can keep dreaming while the rest of us with common sense continue freaking out.
Yes. I don't see him getting over $17 million, but I can see him wanting more than $30 million in total guarantees. Pay-out, if typical for Dallas, will be a little lower his first year (I'm thinking $8-$10 million) and then increase from there with the possibility of restructures. If he's wanting a three-year deal with $40 million in guarantees, I could see Dallas being reluctant to do that. I'm not saying that's what he's seeking, but based on the other contracts, I could see that being the issue.
So you think he gets 30 Million per year guaranteed? What would your prediction be on his contract?
What makes you say the scale has been set for Dak but then unsure about Coop? If anything it appears the opposite given Brown and Odell and Thielen just signed deals that should be looked at. Russ and Ben don’t do anything other then set a value that there’s no realistic argument for Dak reaching.
