Let me just let you in on a little inconvenient fact of life. I don't speak for the front office. I realized that years ago, like when I was 7. Between the ages of 5 and 7, I thought for a brief moment that I might, but realized that I didn't. Here's another one for you, neither do you. I've never seen the offer so I can't say that the team offered him 30 on average or like Wentz, 30 starting down the line or whatever. He is not worth 30 IMO and I don't believe that he would find another team to offer him 30 this year but whatever.
Dak originally asked for 30, then bumped it to 32, then we heard 34 and today, we hear 40. My "Front Office" never offered more then 30, from the reports I've seen. Now, if you want to view that as a commitment by the team then be my guest. I don't see it that way. He's a decent QB with a lot of intangibles but I'm not a Cowboy fan who worships at the feet of Dak. I see him for who and what he is. He is not as gifted a passer as is Wentz IMO. With a strong supporting cast, he can win a Super Bowl, if he continues to develop but, unless he improves substantially, he aint gonna put this team on his back and will them to a championship without Zeke and Coop and a hell of a D. In order to keep those guys around him, we have to sign reasonable contracts. I don't think he's worth 30 mil but if the team does, so be it. I'd pay him 26 on a two year extension and then see where we were at. If he has developed to the point of truly being a top QB in this league, then pay him more over a long period of time but don't pay him a boat load of money before he's even proven he can be more then just a middle of the road QB in the NFL. That's not what I would do, ever. Now, if that's your way and that's what you wanna do, then by all means, go do that in Philly but that's not how I see it or want to see it done in Dallas.
