I am self employed but that’s an idiotic argument to make because if I were working for a huge corporation they would not have a salary cap like the Cowboys do

I’m also not saying he should take less money

I’m saying if he breaks the bank (which is his right and I think he will) then that will make it much more difficult for the team to put enough talent around him for us to win a SB because he is a limited player AND the team has a salary cap. But if that happens I don’t want to hear from Dak homies how he ‘just wants to win’ or ‘is a great leader’

If he does that then we know he’s all about the money

This really is the dumbest argument there is at the moment.

If you go out and sign a QB as good or better than Dak, you are going to have to pay 35 million are close to it give or take. And good luck finding one of those. And what would you save? 5 million? LOL Oh goodie!!!! That's enough to sign an average safety. LOL

And what is option B? Draft a rookie and pray? Then in 4 or 5 years you are going to have to pay him 40 million or more unless he sucks. And if he does suck, you are in QB hell for 10 years.

Nothing the trolls say makes any sense at all. Not to mention its a pipe dream because Dak isn't going anywhere.

Dak is a gift that dropped out of the sky. We got lucky. And didn't need to give up draft capital to get him. No big trade up, not even a first or 2nd round pick. It is a miracle actually.

 

[Kwyn]

Brady is better? LOL Is that really your point?

Even the great Brady needed the best HC of all time. And plenty of players around him.

He had the #1 D in the NFL this year and didn't make it out of the first round.

100% Dak is about winning. Any guy is going to want his money. And he also never asked for 40 million. In fact, he keeps saying the opposite.

We have 80 million in salary and more the following year. Your fears are paranoid and unfounded.

This team would go in the toilet without Dak. You would be lucky to find another Dak in 10 years.

Keep in mind, I’m a Dak fan and think he’s capable of winning a Super Bowl on a good team. I won’t mention him again in this post because i like him and it would be mean

but .. you invoked the name of the GOAT. Prepare to tremble as he is revealed in all his greatness

Sorry, I couldn’t resist. anytime I see these numbers my football brain goes numb and the it acts like catnip and I just have to go down the rabbit hole.

I hate Brady but it’s the hatred held held by a small creature gnashing his teeth in dread as he scurries about at the feet of a giant
.

 

[Proof]

Plus the $5-10 million for endorsements, that's a great income. And, it leaves money for the team to get better. People can hate Tom Brady, but he did it correctly in that respect.

Ugh. I hate this logic. He’s part of one of the most winning franchises in sports. There’s incentive enough in that to keep the party going w/ whatever ‘sacrifice’ it takes. But that’s before we get to his wife being one of the richest women on the planet, and the team offsetting his salary through hiring his shady consulting business

 

[Rockport]

Dallas should let him hit the open market.. He may not even get offered 28. He sure as heck won't get 35-40.

I predict he’ll get around 35 mil. Worth every penny.

 

[Proof]

It really comes down to Ideology/priorities.

Do I want to make/earn as much money as possible?

Or

Do I want to win as many championships as possible?

Im all about getting paid personally but I’m not a professional athlete.

it really comes down to whether you feel any discount you take will be used to maximum efficiency and will push the team over the top.

 

[Proof]

Someone is lying. I see he signed a 70 million dollar deal.

It’s funny bookkeeping. He signed a 2 yr deal in which the 2nd year officially didn’t exist and was voided. They’re masters of number fudging and rule skirting

 

[Proof]

dude - on my way over... we be grillin!!!

theres a condition attached ....

he proved that by starting every single game for 4 years making less than zeke held out over for one year. Never a peep. Didn’t even want to negotiate during the season because of the distraction. Knock it off.

Look, I'm not taking anything away from Dak. I just want the Cowboys to be the best team in the NFL again. They have a long way to go and every little improvement will help. If Dak taking a little less helps to fund a better teammate, I'm for it. Again, taking nothing away from Dak as I felt the same way about T Romo and Aikman. I'm just a Cowboys fan.

me too, entirely. I just hate the Brady comparison. I don’t think it’s apt.

Sheesh. What a nice hustle but a messed up way to do your franchise qb.

If he weighed with another team and went on to have great success the Dak haters here would conveniently forget who and what they were and fall back on the low hanging fruit that is “Blame Jerry”

it would no longer be “he’s not worth it!” and “let him walk!” But instead would be done jerry is an idiot and screwed up by not signing Dak when he could

Understood, but it sounds like you do understand that it doesn’t really work like that in football.

I've been a fan since '62 and understand the way it works. This is pre-pre-season and I'm just hoping for the best team possible as FA and the draft talks start. Simple as that.

 

[Rogerthat12]

The Jones boy’s will send an “honest” offer soon.

 

[Buzzbait]

Tell his agent that.

They will be looking for make up money. Not a discount.

Make it up with incentive money. If he delivers the goods, pay the man accordingly. If he doesn't, pay him accordingly.

 

[BBGTYCOON]

Take the hometown discount baby.
Sign for 28.

28-35 mill on a 1 year prove it deal should be the only deal on the table for Dak.

 

[Trueboysfan]

Dak has made $4M in 4 years. He's already given a pretty big discount given his performance.

You can't blame him for hesitating on giving up even more money.

Great point!

I Love Brady. I actually root for him anytime the Cowboys are out. Utmost respect for him.
