Dak's next contract?

[Verdict]

Garoppolo just signed the largest contract in the history of the NFL. How exactly does that happen? I get that he has potential but damn.

What sort of contract will Dak sign if he has a pretty good year this year, say comparable to his rookie year?

Correct me if i am wrong but Dak signed a 4 year deal as a 4th round pick, right? He would be a restricted free agent in year 5?

Part of that Garoppolo deal was the cap space the Niners have. The Browns were able to pull off that Osweiler deal because of the cap space and the requirement to spend the minimum.

Let him play two more years on the rookie deal. They can always use the tag for leverage to sign him long term if he plays well and it comes to that.

 

[aikemirv]

He won't get one if he keeps playing like he did at the end of the season!

 

[sacase]

He won’t get a second contract

Supply and demand. He was fantastic down the stretch for San Fran.

It’ll be paid by another team unless he improves his game.

He won’t get a second contract

The likelihood of this being correct is near zero. He has shown flashes that all but guarantee him a second contract in the league even if he blows the next couple years.

Even if he's no more than an Alex Smith, he'll not only get a second contract, but he'll be paid well, even if it isn't here.

 

[cowboyec]

we better hope Dak plays well....other wise we get set back lookin for another QB.
I think if he improves...he'll get a new deal when his rookie deal is up.

 

[JBond]

Of course he will get a second contract in Dallas. We are doomed to 9-7 for the next 8 years. Sigh...

That is reality but his agent won't hear that answer

I thought the best chance to get a good deal was to sign him after this year to an extension

It gets him his big money a year early so he may give one team friendly deal

A 4/60m extension that is really a 3 year deal with 100% guaranteed would be a possible solution

 

[SDCowboy]

That's one of those things that's not even worth thinking about right now, IMO. Lets see how Dak plays these next two seasons.

 

[SlammedZero]

These contracts amaze me. I understand Garoppolo looked great at the end of the season, but, the reality is he hasn't done anything significant in the NFL. When does the inflation stop? What will it look like in 25 years? 5 year 500 million dollar contracts? It's crazy to me.

 

[gmoney112]

Eventually QB contracts are going to end up like the MLB right now.

But until then, you're paying the piper.

If he is really bad they can get out after one year.... it will cost 50m after one year or 61m after 2 years

They have 113m in cap space and have to spend to the 89% cash floor for 2017-2020

If he's Alex Smith he will get a huge contract, right now he is nowhere close to AS.

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

A couple million with the browns.

 

[IheartRomo]

The poster claimed he would not get a second contract. I see no way in which he doesn't get a second contract from someone. He has played 1.5 great seasons in the NFL. Even 2.5 bad ones would not be enough for a team to not take a chance on him when there are only 10-15 guys MAX in the world that can play NFL QB at a high level.

Sure he will.
Somewhere.

At least the early 1st round rookie deals havent looked that way for awhile.

Those guys were getting monster dollars without ever having thrown one NFL pass.
