Dak Prescott doing contract negotiations the right way, showing what it means to be a Dallas Cowboy

[Risen Star]

Doing contract negotiations the right way apparently means massively overvaluing your worth and demanding one of the richest contracts in league history to cripple your teams' ability to keep a quality core around you.

What a guy.

much truth in what you say. But at the QB position..they all gonna get overvalued...the nature of the beast. I disagree with it, because in the end, the way the league does business will eventually kill the pro game. Cant have monster contracts like that and sustain a league. It waters down the end product on the field. I think we have seen this. Its only gonna get worse.

How many players on this team can make a legitimate claim to being the best in the league? You're being dramatic, because not everybody is worth market-setting money.

You're getting way off target here Ghost. Your question is irrelevant. The issue I is that as long as a salary cap is in place, there's only a set amount of money available, so every time you overpay a player for his position, you're robbing Peter to pay Paul. You're so busy looking at one tree, you can't see the forest.
That so called market setting RB wouldn't be such hot stuff if his OL consisted of low paid scrubs. And if the defense consisted of low paid scrubs he wouldn't get the ball back so often. But that's ultimately the scenario a team is asking for when they start overpaying prima donnas who demand market-setting money. But a self centered money hungry diva doesn't care about what happens to the team, he just wants as much as he can get, as fast as he can get it, no matter what the cost to the team. He's not there to win, he just wants the money.

Blindly supporting exorbitant salaries in a sport limited by salary caps is just a temporary feel good argument that ultimately leads to much bigger problems than it's worth. You can make all the silly arguments you please, but in the long run, you're driving down a dead end street.

That's right Ghost, just skip right past that grade school math part and keep pretending the math doesn't matter.

I got no problem with the way Dak is going about his negotiations. He is here busting his arse on the field while his agent works out a new contract. That is exactly what Zeke should be doing.

Now do I expect a hometown discount from Dak? It would be nice, but no, I am not expecting him to take anything less than market. Unfortunately, the stupid arse Eagles just set the market with Wentz at $32 a year, so I dont see Dak signing for anything less. They are the same age, play the same position, were in the same draft class, and Dak has better numbers across the board...………..hard to argu with Dak's agent that he should take less.

So yeah, a contract in the neighborhood of $32-$34 million is most likely going to happen either before or during the season. Its a little bit higher than I would like to pay, but the market is the market and you can either pay or be Buffalo or Miami with scrubs at QB.

How so? If he shuts his mouth to the media, & just texts his position coach on the predawn mornings of game day,stating he ain't gonna be rolling in to suit up&play under his currently constructed contract stipulations& he ain't gonna play ball on any game day till it's resolved to his particular fancy with a cherry on top

Yeah, Zeke is in the media daily discussing his contract.

Yawn............................

What is this, communist China? Everything has to be fair?

No everything does not have to be fair. Salary caps were not designed to be fair. They were designed to LIMIT SALARIES.
In the long run if a team fails to limit exorbitant salaries, they shoot themselves in the foot......which is what you're blindly promoting.

How the hell is that stupidly facetious statement even in the running for plausible consideration? What are you,Pal? 6th or 7th grade still?
If the idiot was in training camp,the media would be all over him like ants at a picnic,,, shut yer pie hole,pal

I love that Dak is betting on his self. That shows confidence. Nothing would make me happier than Dak earning 40 mil per season. That means the Cowboys had a lot of success.

You don't think him earning that is anything but great for the Cowboys?

Remember when he didn't need a #1 receiver? I assume he still feels that way if he wants to stamp $35mil a year on himself lol.

I do not

 

[Cowboysfan1975]

I do not

Sucks to suck

Personally I totally dislike the whole concept of the salary cap, but as long as we're stuck with it we have to either live with it or die with it.
The Patriots success is a good model of how to live with it. If Zeke pulled this on Bellicheck, he'd never get away with it. And if Jerry had any guts, he wouldn't get away with it here either.

but if some more guys retire, he'll move up.

Nah. I want you to show me where I hate on Dak. If you can't have the decency to admit you fabricated it and pulled it out your ***.

Simple. Your comments supporting a mercenary over giving praise and credit to the true leader of this team proves your disdain for Dak. As for your sexual anti-forum language, it's usually the sign of a snowflake crybaby when he exposes himself for what he truly is.
