Signed by Cowboys Dak Prescott on a four-year contract, $240 million extension

[nyc-cowboy]

You have to get into the playoffs to have a chance for a sb run.

There's a diff between making the play-offs and having a real legit chance at winning the SB.

Wow. All that money for winning absolutely nothing in the playoffs.

this time it'll be different.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

Not for anything but the Dallas reporters need to be quite ruthless if and when this team struggles. Dak cannot be allowed to do the old soft shoe tap dance. The heat needs to be brung bigtime if this team falters one little bit.

What this deal does is simple.

The Dallas Cowboys won't lose a single game this season. Dak Prescott, however, will.

It's just how fans' minds work.

 

[Whiskey Cowboy]

that is 100% my biggest reason for not wanting to resign him. How on earth will Sr and Jr now manage this, when they couldn't manage it before?

I'd imagine much like they've handled the last two offseasons. Sign vets to short term bargain contracts, use the draft to fill weaknesses, and supplement with tc/post tc trades. I guess they think they have it figured out. I'm not sold.

 

[America's Cowboy]

Well, looks like Dak got his greedy demands met: 4 year extension for $240 million ($231 fully guaranteed) @ $60 mil/year contract. Dak will remain the franchise QB in Dallas through the end of the 2028 season.

Many of you said if Dak were extended and paid to remain the Dallas Cowboys franchise QB after this 2024 season, you would give up supporting this team and stop having anything to do with the Dallas Cowboys.

Well...

ALL ABOARD!!!

The anti-Dak/anti-Cowboys canoe is leaving in 1 hour. Who is jumping on board and willing to live up to their promise?

 

[vlad]

Wooooooohooooooo!!!!! FINALLY.
Dak is a Cowboy for life. Look forward to watching everyone here start to come around again when he starts winning games.
Also look forward to him progressing and getting deeper in the playoffs

I would say hold off on the the for life part....he'll still be young enough to sign a few year deal if he's playing well and healthy - man stood strong and came out on top

 

[fivetwos]

231 million guaranteed?

WOW. Wow.

 

[starfan1]

I’m gonna go out a limb here and say pretty much all the mods will be front and center today

Gonna be interesting game thread

 

[JoeKing]

I just saw this on fox announced by Jay Glazer

 

[Rockport]

I feel a lot more winning is on the horizon. And that includes the post season. The future is bright. Congrats to Dak!

A great boost of energy for the team on opening day. Go Cowboys!

MountaineerCowboy in shambles.

Pappy on cliff looking over, 4 more years the haters on harm list watch.

 

[Jipper]

Did the contract have a no trade clause or not?

 

[SquidwardTentacles]

Same can be said for 2 time MVP league winning Ravens QB Lamar Jackson ...

..just shows .. " Leon can't do Every thang . "

two stupid moves don't equal a smart move

 

[CWR]

I thought you were leaving if Dak got re-signed? Wait you guarantee the wouldn't get re-signed.

Imagine a board where we speak of multiple different subjects all related to the team. No one zeros in and post about the same thing over and over and drags down multiple unrelated threads.

Nice right? It'll never happen. They'll still be HERE crying about the qb every other word. These type never keep their word.

 

[darealvelle]

Glad we did absolutely nothing this offseason just to re-sign the same guys after the fact

I agree, this what im upset at.

 

[BrassCowboy]

So forgive me if this is a crazy question or maybe I should know it already, but is this in effect after this last year of his current contract (making it like a 5 year contract), or does this replace his current and he is with us for 4 years now?

My gut says replace but will ask anyways

 

[CrownCowboy]

That's exactly my point. Dak gets no excuses while every other player does. If you can't see the hypocrisy there I can't really say anything else.

I'm just going off of what you said. If you were being sarcastic then good for you. I agree with the sarcasm.

Bottomline is the fact remains. Dak is making 60 million now with no playoff success at all. Micah shouldn't have to do a damn thing in the playoffs to ask for his money now.

 

[Aerolithe_Lion]

He's older now though, so I think it would foolish to give him or any quarterback his age a no-trade clause.

I could see that from the Cowboys’ side. But from Dak’s side, this is close to a retirement contract; he probably has one more smaller one after this. Him being older may be the reason he’s unwilling to start over on some rebuilding team somewhere else

We’ll find out soon, both scenarios plausible. I think his agent has some weird hubris stuff going on so there may be things in this deal that immediately make us go “yep; Todd France.”

 

[Hawkeye0202]

This has been their strategy since Stephen took over the day to day. They will continue to resign their own and use fa for stopgap minimum players.

Will have plenty of money to retain Parsons, but expect another Lamb type of holdout coming next offseason, where he ultimately will get paid

We know Parsons isn't going anywhere but the good news is we only have Tyler coming around the corner after him. I would seriously consider trading Bland or Diggs.

There's a diff between making the play-offs and having a real legit chance at winning the SB.

Who are the Cowboys getting that's better than Dak? Trey Lance throwing five picks against Chargers' third string defenders?
