Dak getting bad advice

[DFWJC]

Table is set for Dak unless he and his agent want to go WAY our bounds.

Wentz and Goff are signed.
The only argument is if they are true peers.

My guess is that Jerry would pay him "true peer" money though....so a Goff-like deal.
But I keep hearing rumblings that his agent wants way more. Hope it's not true.

Interesting banter on 105.3 The Fan. This from Ben and Skin:

Dak's agency is CAA (Creative Artists Agency), which started with Hollywood actors and singers and slowly progressed into the sports world. They have Beyonce, George Clooney, Tom Cruise, Morgan Freeman, Matthew McConaughey, etc...you get the point.

They don't negotiate. Period. They go for the throat, full on high-dollar with no waivering.

By that measure, it is very realistic that (1) they did ask for $40 million recently, and (2) they do not want Dak to sign anything now before the market explodes under the new CBA.

That is horrible advice for Dak, who absolutely should have taken that $30 million per year offer. If he doesn't play lights out this season, he could lose tens of millions from this calculated gamble. CAA won't care; they just move on to the next of their thousands of clients.

It is GLORIOUS for the Cowboys, who now get a cheap look at Dak before deciding to pay him big money next offseason, or not. I, for one, love it.

Nobody has an issue paying Dak huge money if his play proves it this year. Likewise, the Cowboys could dodge the proverbial bullet if he doesn't.

Dak is subsidizing his salary nicely with all of his endorsements, but it's not the additional massive signing bonus and salary he's turning down.

Unless he comes apart at the seams and the team spirals into a top 5 draft pick, the same lack of options and market price will be in effect and he loses very little, if anything.

If he keeps that winning % at 66 and goes 11-5 and wins the East again, he makes money by waiting. His agents know what they all know, there aren't enough quality QB's to go around and even the average ones are going to get well above average salaries.

Bad advice or just a horrible thread?

Bad advice or just a horrible thread?

...or a week-old thread that should have stayed dormant seven-plus pages behind the Fan Zone's front page.
