deshaun watson? at any rate, last year is history. it is to everyone's benefit to get the deal done asap then move on to free agency and the draft. next year could be a struggle cap wise, but then we will be able to get rid of zeke and cooper without cap hits. we just have to suck it up this next season. jmo.
Watson signed his 4 year contract in the final year of his rookie contract with an option year possibly tacked on. He is currently under contract through 2025.
Last year may be history but it is also history that teams haven't given QB's 4 year contracts without the benefit of time remaining on their current contract to help with the cap. It would be unprecedented and so I question whether logic dictates the Cowboys will break the precedent.
Given the reason that Dak was sticking to the 4 year condition it seems that logic would dictate he would want a 3 year contract now. That new TV contract money is now 3 years away and not 4 like it was last year.
Logic certainly doesn't always dictate reality but if we're being logical.....
