Here we go again? In the same damn thread!? lol
This is some weird logic.
Your argument is that, Person A and Person B are negotiating a deal. Person A offers Person B a deal that essentially mirrors the deals which the peers of Person B have just received. Person B turns down this offer because he wants something that is unprecedented to date, in deals of this nature.
It is your position that the failure of the deal is entirely the responsibility of Person A for not giving in to the demands of person B? The unprecedented demands I might add, again.
Come on my friend. You yourself said in our previous exchange on this topic. "It takes two to tango".
I will add that I do not believe that the contract length issue was even a factor in the first round of negotiations in 2019. It did not come in to play until after Dak's rookie contract was off the books. A four year extension in 2019 was likely the offer he got, key word being extension. That was the precedent for all big QB deals. The 4 vs 5 only came into play after an extension was no longer possible.
If you have information to refute this please correct me. I would much rather get it right than to just try and be right.
Jerry franchising him and ultimately paying him has absolutely nothing to do with anything I said in the post you responded to so I have no idea why you are even bringing it up.
so what Person B asked for what his peers didn't because he, person B saw himself as better than them. He is entitled to that opinion. you premise that he should know himself and as a result align himself with his peers. that's not how negotiations work. Person A still went ahead and gave the deal. if Person A didn't feel like Person B is as good as he thinks, then why go along with it? at the point that Person A saw the contract demands, its all on Person A to decide what to do. 100% of it.
you want to blame Person B (Dak) for asking for too much. I said it before, Dak could have asked for 80M/year. doesn't mean Jerry should have caved in and hand the contract. He had the option to walk way. at that point its all on Jerry and jerry didn't assess Dak's capabilities properly and as the GM that's his main responsibility to know his players or players he is trying to sign. at the end of the day, Jerry had a very clear option. play with him under franchise tag a second year and then walk away and that would give him a year to figure out what to do.
yes, it takes two to tango and Jerry did the tango. at the end of the day, its on him to reject and walk away. Dak walk up and asked to tango with certain stipulation and if Jerry didn't agree to those stipulations, then Jerry should have said no. if Jerry doesn't pay, there is no money, there is no contract.
