I also think Jerry isnt in the worst spot.
As far as getting compensation for him, yeah that's over...
But if Prescott does zero in big spots and/or cant manage a playoff win in two years on the tag, I'm not so sure how many teams will line up for a guy that has one playoff win in six seasons.
And at that point it would have to be time to move on anyway.
If by chance he has success, Prescott will want to stay, and Jerry will be glad to pay.
I see no problem here.
Therefore, Prescott now has to perform to get his money while it was sitting there in front of him.
Stupid, stupid move considering all that has to go well for him to have the ideal scenario.
