News: Cowboys to Restructure Dak Prescott $140 Million Contract

[speedkilz88]

The tax goes back into the nba and is divided among the league. It help funds the wnba

They spend more money on players beyond the tax. It was a horrible idea.

 

[ShortRound]

Let me correct you a bit….Jerry Jones has more money than sense.

lol of course

 

[Aerolithe_Lion]

Kick that can!



(He's presently scheduled for "zero'' salary in the final year of his contract, when he's 33. This move will change that.)

‘Change that’. As in add even more to the $13.2 million they will already be paying in 2025 to not even have him under contract.

The team just digs those holes deeper and deeper.

I think the long term consideration is that his next extension will be built around alleviating that.

We have more money than sense

Having money aint a bad thing. In fact it can get you thru a lot of situations where being smart isn't good enough.

it’s the same thing Jerry Jones did with Tony Romo’s contract. What’s the definition of insanity, doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. Jerry Jones will never learn a new way of doing business. It’s the Cowboy way. It didn’t work back then and likely not gonna work with Dak. When will they try a new approach

It's the same thing the whole league does every year to get cap relief. Go check out Aaron Rodgers contract:

Can we give him one less year at least?

 

[Aerolithe_Lion]

So he is giving money back due to the poor performance he shown in the playoff game, lol.

No, they’re converting his salary to a bonus. Meaning he gets the same money but it’s prorated over the next 5 years instead of all hitting the cap this year. Saves cap now, but makes it much much harder to move him, so it assures he’ll be a cowboy for years

 

[Hardline]

Theres a simple way to solve the salary cap problem.
Pay players league minimum contracts and hire them to sweep your driveway and take out the garbage for millions of dollars as a side job.

What they did was move his cap hits around, not the money. So This does the opposite, it now adds a 20m$ additional cap hit if you try to move him, going down by 4m$ each year. So even 3 years from now it’s still what the cap hit was before plus 12m$ more

Great plan. Make sure you give all leverage to the player and agent.

Non story. Every big deal we write is designed for automatic restructures in the 2nd and often the 3rd year. Nothing to see here.

So just like the Super Bowl winners?

(minus the Super Bowl of course)

Sure. The results speak for themselves.

‘Nothing to see’ there either.

 

[DoctorChicken]

Too late for that.

I suggested getting Tom Brady on a 2 year deal and letting Dak walk.. We’d be sitting nice right now.

I don’t know what this team is going to do really lol. They need a Super team to compete with all these juggernaut QBs. Luckily a lot of them play in the AFC.

Baffles me to this day why teams that needed a QB had a chance to sign the GOAT and didn't do it. Brady even told SF he would play for them, and they didn't even give him an offer.

don’t really have a choice
Gotta build around him
I was hoping for a real HC and OC but I guess that’s not happening

 

[Ranched]

No big deal. In layman’s terms, money that was going to be paid to Dak’s left pocket will now be shoved into his right pocket, a bookkeeping trick that explains the voidable years at the end of his deal.

 

[Aerolithe_Lion]

Great plan. Make sure you give all leverage to the player and agent.

From a team standpoint it does make sense. If you know you want the player beyond his current deal, you’re basically trading cap space in the distance future when you know the cap will balloon to where the contract is undervalued so that you can have a cap advantage today over teams that aren’t doing this.

The cap relief is nice, but the big takeaway from this is Dallas has no plans for moving on from Dak for many many years.

Why don’t they ‘have a choice’?

They have no choice
They are over the cap already plus we have to add players just till fill out the roster and you have draft picks
The deal was structured for this very scenario
