How would Dak handle the scrutiny of being the highest paid player in the league?
Yeah I'm pro Dak but no way in HELL does he deserve that. Let him play it out if that's the case. 32.5 million is where I'd be willing to go and even that is too high. However, he is not taking anything less than Wentz.Ben and Skin on The Fan, which carries the Cowboys games, said their sources say Dak's agency is demanding he be the highest-paid player in the NFL.
They are asking for more than $36 million per year.
No thanks. Let him play for $900K this year, and if proves himself, you just saved$35 million you can scatter over the next years when you pay him $40 million pretty year.
Or, if he falls flat, you saved your franchise's cap future.
Against a team of guys that left for Vegas the minute the game ended.I didn’t include the Eagles game.
The 7th game I’m referring to was the 2018 regular-season finale, Cowboys-Giants. Dak had 387 Pass yds, 4 TD, 0 INT that day.
Yep, 4-3 without Zeke.
Cooper Rush has zero chance of going 4-3 in any 7-game sample size. He could have Emmitt in his prime and he still wouldn’t go 4-3.
Neither could Brandon Weeden, Matt Cassel or any other stiff we’ve trotted out there as a backup recently. Regardless of who is lining up at RB.
It’s funny how the narrative is, “Dak needs Zeke!” The opposite is MUCH more true, as it pertains to actually, you know, winning football games.
LOL had Dallas lost that game, it would still count against Dak’s record. Especially in the eyes of his detractors.Against a team of guys that left for Vegas the minute the game ended.
That was a glorified preseason game.
Dak is 4-3 without Zeke.At least Zeke has proven he can be the best RB in the league....
Not to mention, in the 7 games without Zeke Dak only managed 9 TD passes. 4 of them came in the meaningless exhibition against the Giants. In the 6 games that the other team actually cared about, Dak averaged less than a touchdown pass per game.Against a team of guys that left for Vegas the minute the game ended.
That was a glorified preseason game.
Dak is 4-3 without Zeke.
Go ahead and tell us that you think Dallas would go 4-3 or better if Dak sat for 7 games, with Zeke in the lineup.
I dare you. Say it and become an even bigger joke.
It's totally his agent saying this. Mike Fisher said it best the other day...eventually these players are going to have to tell their agent "I'm good let's just get this done with". I'd be stunned if he isn't signed by week 1.It will probably get done around 31-32
Regardless of how you feel about Dak, it’s hard to justify being the highest paid player when you’re not the best player in the league.
I just can’t see even see him saying that privately, and he doesn’t strike me as that kind of guy.
The way journalists know anything. From their sources.
No idea if they are right or not but it's not that complicated.
Hard to believe this is not just speculation. Would love to hear a number from Dak's agent vs media with a claimed source.
