Give the team a discount, Dak! Taking $50 mil or less per year will not hurt you. You already got the top paid contract 3 years ago. Jerry gave you everything you wanted. Time to return the favor!

I don't think he necessarily even needs to give a discount.. but he absolutely needs to make sure his agent structures the contract to give maximum flexibility under the cap. Remember the stupid players union will go after him if he gives too much of a discount.

i see no reason for any player to give a discount when the team is out of office from January till the draft.

Saving the team 5mil aav won't make them sign a free agent. It'll just allow them to restructure less to still look poor in March.

Maybe if the team was truly all-in and right on the cusp of a championship I could see players taking less to win. But this team isn't all in. It's some half *** method of building a team through the draft.

Imagine giving this team a break with negotiations...exactly what would that do? They're not gonna spend it in free agency. Brady did the same for the patriots and they did absolutely nothing with it. No way should anyone give Stephen any kind of breaks. That's moronic.

I honestly believe him when he says he will flip a switch and not think about it. It’s his agent that cares, he really doesn’t.

Im sure he cares, its just not his main focus with training camp a couple weeks away. Especially since he's not representing himself.

Why should he give a discount? Jerry won't do anything with the money/cap room but sign bargain basement scrubs.

That's the thing though,

what's the price to begin with what would be a discount what would be fair price I mean 60 million would be ridiculous ask and I would probably forever hate the dude if that's what he's really pressing for I think if you get the man in the 53 to 55,000,000 range with a lot of it or all of it guaranteed on a short contract with a couple voided years' that's something you should immediately sign him for but he's looking to for the most ridiculous guaranteed contract ever at 60 million I'm thinking it's time to move on just because it just doesn't fit long term team needs to have every player wanting to set a new market record contract instead of like Trayvon diggs for example at least he took the 4th contract he got top five money it was fourth at the time and now it's 5th and cornerback money and he seems to be relatively happy I don't see why players gotta keep resetting the market for their ego when it doesn't fit the team needs it's not a discount it's being more flexible in your negotiations because it's ridiculous to want to keep setting records new market records this is what these dudes want they don't even wanna be top five paid anymore they don't even be the top paid at their position they wanna be the next highest paid player outside of the highest paid quarterback this is becoming out of control....

However way the Dallas Cowboys do this with Prescott is either now and he's on his last year here or later there's no way to avoid paying this man about 50 million a year over two or three years when he's gone there's no way there's going to be dead money for years and years to come once he's gone because of how they done this with quarterbacks and the money they're getting they can't build rosters without kicking the can down the road so far they're going to owe so much money it's going to be almost like Barry Bonds situation....

And all this talk about the front office dragging their feet not signing guys they realize that CD Lam and guys like Micah Parsons are the ones holding these negotiations up because of what I said above they've been waiting for new market money and records and he said because they want to be in the news as an ego driven egocentric world we live in and get record market setting money they've been waiting and Prescott's contract in my opinion are what's keeping the front office for making a decision on Lamb​
​
I don't see what the problem is I don't care if he holds out all the way to a week before the season starts as long as he shows up the man's making $1,000,000 A GAME under his current contract.. That's beyond plenty and he should show up and play regardless of a new deal or not but Prescott not being signed is why the front office is waiting they literally know they have their entire group the core group signed for 2024 and that's all that matters right now and I agree but Prescott's the piece that's holding everything up because if he doesn't get signed why bother? It would be time to blow it up and I would trade lamb Parsons digs and then allow tank and Martin to walk and just start over that's a lot of draft picks you're gonna get and a lot of money in in the cap to rebuild..​
​
We've seen it in this league before if you don't have the starting #1 quarterback if he's not top10 doesn't give you every chance to win games then there's no reason to be signing all these other peripheral players that's kind of money they all want high market record setting money and that's just ridiculous without a quarterback....​

Lol you're crazy if you think he doesn't care. Do you care if your boss gives you a raise?

Not if I know I’m getting it.
I can go anywhere, to any of my companies top competitors and make top dollar. They know that, and would write the check to make it not happen . Why worry about when I’m getting paid either way.
