Dak: Just how people feel - What it says if the contract isn't done before season

He's probably going to tank on purpose if not paid. Good luck as a Raider next year bub.

So basically Dak has a deadline in his head to get a deal done, and that's just about a week away.

 

[DallasDW00ds0n]

But not how you feel, Dak? This guy is actually shocked he’s not the highest paid player in NFL history yet.

I'm just SO HAPPY you said you'll be done with the Cowboys and done with this board if Dak gets a new deal!!!

I'll keep reminding you until then so you're not tempted to backtrack.

If it isn’t done he may want to explore free agency. It’s looking more and more like the ball is in his court. The Cowboys would have to offer him at the very least $60 million per season and he could very likely get more than that in free agency. He’s got a ton of leverage and the only risk he would be taking is if he were to suffer a serious injury.

Looking more like? Where you been the last year

$60m is probably the floor if he's a UFA, even if he does get injured.

Players of that quality just don't become free agents, especially not quarterbacks

Loving it right now…

He didn’t have the leverage last year that he does now. The clock is ticking, and if he enters the regular season which is less than two weeks away without a new contract, he may play out the season and explore free agency. We’re almost certain to lose him if that happens. No one thought he wouldn’t have a new contract by now.

Lol, how do guys come up with thoughts like these and actually put their name on it?

It's only leverage if the Cowboys actually want him back which it's looking more and more like they don't (fingers crossed!)

If he were to suffer a serious injury, as in career threatening, that could certainly change a lot of things. Anything involving his throwing elbow or shoulder that requires surgery could definitely deter teams.

 

[khiladi]

Count on his fanboys spinning not getting a contract as leverage…. Dak should just be glad Lamb is signed, because that “leverage” would look even worse now having to toss to Cook as his number 1.

 

[Praxit]

....Jerry already commented on this. "you've got to do the work, in order to get paid". Was his quote, or something along those lines.

Like I said, win in the playoffs and theyll be plenty of cheese on the plate.

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

See ya, Dak!

Go be a loser QB on another team.

If they didn’t want him back, they wouldn’t be negotiating with him. Look how long it took just to extend CeeDee. It took a long time to extend Dak the first time. We ended up having to franchise him twice. Some reports say he could get as much as $70 million per season in free agency. It’s certainly not like the Cowboys don’t want him, but they have to be able to pay him. Stephen said on two occasions it’s going to be up to Dak. This isn’t a player that’s just looking to reset the market, he could be looking to blow away the market.

Dak has always been a heel. He's always about Dak, that's it.
