Right. I find it funny that a poster or three say Dak has all the leverage, JJ has none. Well, one is the employer and the other is the employee. How in the hell does an employee have more leverage than an owner? Dak lovers have no logic, just love for a loser.
they offered him 55 mill, how does that say they dont want him? Leverage and budget are 2 diferent things...one has options the other has a budget..sure the Cowboys can say "Thats our max" thats not leverage thats a budget...Which one of the 2 sides has the option that WILL drive the other to the negotiating table? thats leverage and the Cowboys dont have any at all...they have a budget which is the opposite of leverage...What exactly can the Cowboys do to make Dak come to the table? Dak can walk and leave the Cowboys with Rush and Lance...wether you like it or not thats leverage no matter wether you like Dak as a QB or dont..the Cowboys options suck...
I’d rather have neither but yeah I would’ve rather had suck for a 6th rounder than suck for a 4th rounder.
This can be true in this negotiation, and we wont know until FA hits to see what happens...probably the best way to put it is I dont see how the Cowboys could have any leverage in this, i can see how Dak has leverage with FA looming....If they had a QB in house this would be diferent in my eyes.
The fact that he has all the leverage is the reason a deal hasn’t been struck. He can afford to stand is ground. He’s already making $40 million per season and will be getting a lot more than that after this season. You really don’t understand the situation. Dak is in a position where he’s going to get paid HUGE no matter what, unless he suffers a serious career threatening injury. The Cowboys only have his rights for this season. He’ll be as free as a bird come March 13, 2025. He’ll end up resetting the QB market with another team and the Cowboys will be stuck looking for another starting QB. It would be like losing your beautiful girlfriend to another man and having to settle for an ugly one. Lol Jerry will be in the same sinking boat he was in after he released Troy Aikman. He had nothing at QB and it led to 5 very lean years. Go look at the carousel of QBs we went through during those years. Dak has all the chips on his side. You’re acting like we have him locked up and he’s going to have to concede. Lol You might want to rethink your position that he has no leverage.
I'm starting to see you that you type a bunch of words hoping something sticks.
What you say only makes sense if you CARE ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS TO DAK IF HE IS NO LONGER A COWBOY.You’re the one that doesn’t understand. You’re making absolutely no sense.Dak has leverage whether the Cowboys want him or not because other teams will want him and will be more than willing to make him the highest paid QB in NFL history. The Cowboys know there’s other teams that will be able to pay him more than they will, so the only way Dak remains a Cowboy past this season is if he wants to be here and is willing to take less than what he could get in free agency. The only gamble he’s taking is if he suffers a serious injury or has a miserable season. There’s some who think Dak could get as much as $70 million in free agency. The Cowboys couldn’t come close to paying him that. We’ve seen the crazy free agent contracts that have been signed. They’ll pale in comparison to what a QB who’s at the top of their game could earn on the open market. To say Dak has no leverage in bold print is absolutely laughable.
It's rabbit hole talk is all.
You have already lost this argument with him, so good luck from now until, well, forever! lolWhat you say only makes sense if you CARE ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS TO DAK IF HE IS NO LONGER A COWBOY.
I don't.
You are personally vested on Dak's situation in totality...I am NOT. Dak's leverage with some other team doesn't matter. If you are a KC fan, Dak has no leverage with your org. If you are a Bills fan, same. If you are a Bears fan, same. GET IT YET? Probably not...you're stuck on Dak winning not the Cowboys.
You've LOST THE PLOT...It's not about Dak, it's about THE TEAM. If the COWBOYS don't want him, he's got no leverage. ARE YOU GETTING THIS YET?
Halle Berry had leverage with a ton of men...not David Justice. not Wesley Snipes. not Eric Benet. They either got better or had enough experience to walk away. GET IT YET?
I’ve never said I wasn’t a Dak fan lol. It’s well documented. It’s not something I hide. What I’m asking you is what type of advice would you like me to give you? You’re emotional. He’s here at least one more year barring a benching. I just don’t know what you want?
Stop trying to instill fear in him. Ogsixshooter ain’t you.
If I don’t understand the concept of leverage then how come everyone who gets paid to talk football is saying Dak has the most leverage of any player in NFL history? The leverage between the Cowboys FO and Dak and his agent is what we’re talking about. The Cowboys are trying to work out a deal with them and according to what’s been reported offers have been made and he’s not accepting them. Stephen said three weeks ago they want to extend Dak but it’s going to be up to him. No wasting anymore time with this.
Damn you doing it again mind your business you over here trying to use scare tactics…..
Leverage and budget are different but absolutely linked. You need leverage in a budget situation where you need to make choices.
"EVERYONE" writes articles, they don't make money. Ask JERRY JONES WHO HAS THE LEVERAGE. Ask Bob Kraft who had the leverage with Belichick. Money talks...and the Star and the Cowboys will be here if Dak dies in strip club tomorrow. You are simply too far gone and in love with Dak to understand this.
What leverage did Bill Belichick have? His team was losing and he’s in his early 70s. He’s currently sitting on his couch because no one wanted him.
Ok so your theory is the Cowboys are lying and they dont want Dak anymore, They lied about offering him a contract several weeks ago and have a valid option at QB right now that they are hiding...BTW the last one would be leverage as the others are just a choice...Leverage is when you have something that will force the other side to the negotiating table..what exactly does the FO have that would force Dak to the table? Dak has options coming soon that will up the price and has Rush and Lance as the Cowboys QB if he leaves..those things CAN force this FO to the table...I get it you dont like Dak, this has nothing to do with how leverage in negotiations work, seperate the 2 by simply saying..I hope Dak leaves and no one could argue with you.
