I understand negotiations and i am sure his agent is getting more than 6%. Don't care if he is holding out or not, he doesn't deserve top 5 QB pay. I will clarify to say Zeke deserves top 5 pay but it should come after this season. We can not have these top heavy contracts to where we can't build a team around them.
This old dude wouldn't care if Dak made a $100 million a year if there was no salary cap, but there is one and I have seen us in salary cap hell.
Well when you have ownership that needs puppets as coaches you will need an all star team to have a chance to win.
Teams often have to let high paid players walk away. The Ravens just watched CJ Mosely walk. The Patriots watched DE Jones walk (or be traded).
You can't afford to pay everyone top dollar and by looking at the roster we have way too many guys who are super talented that will demand huge pay.
It makes you realize how poor of a coaching job has been happening when you have so many guys playing so well and you still have nothing to show for it.
This won't change. If JG was fired another puppet would take his place tomorrow.
So we will have Jaylon Smith, Dak, Zeke, Cooper, B Jones soon asking for top pay. Which guys do we let walk?
