Exactly. And then he earned that money and they went on to win the SB. Those two losses didn't hurt the team, in fact it's possible those two losses helped motivate the team.It most certainly did hurt the team he was the Cowboys best player. The main reason they lost those first two games was him not being on the field. The Cowboys entire offense revolved around Emmitt and the running game. Those two losses caused Jerry to give in and pay him.

You mean like Goff in L.A. or Wentz in Philly?How about we stop rewarding players like they have won a Super Bowl when they wouldn’t get this kind of treatment in any other market.

Or are you talking about Matt Ryan? Garoppolo? Cousins?
He did help the team. He stayed, performed, and fulfilled his rookie contract. He was rewarded by his GM with Jason Garrett for 4 years, cut his no.1 WR, retired his no.1 TE, letting go 4 defensive starters that got Super Bowl rings with the Chiefs, got cheap below average free agents, prolonged a worthless battle with the NFL Commissioner for a suspended starting RB, signed OL/DL/RB to long term deals, and stop gap trades for players that have not been resigned. What other decision is left when you invested 4 years making a grand total of $2M at the QB position and watch you GM do nothing to help or take advantage of your 3 year hometown discount for your favorite team growing up in North LA.I'll agree with you Dak should make a decision, but if the decision is just to take the all the money he can get, then he's not helping this team get to the next level.
But again I go back to this being a Todd France decision more than Dak.

Todd France needs to do his job for Dak now. The hometown 4 year discount was not taken advantage of...so get Money Little Duffle Bag Boy...

no murder allowed on the siteThere wasn’t a salary cap. plus Smith was fresh off back to back rushing titles and a Super Bowl victory.
This. Apple meet orange. One has SB pedigree, NFL records, some still in tact and the other had a great rookie year and has struggled to get to sniff an NFC championship game. Lastly things have changed since those days where there is significantly more $$ with endoresmentsThere wasn’t a salary cap. plus Smith was fresh off back to back rushing titles and a Super Bowl victory.
Zeke, Emmitt, Dak. 2 proven dogs and 1 unproven. Not the sameWasn't Emmitt the one saying Zeke should get top dollar?
I wish people would stop acting entitled to be the authority on how much someone makes.
Not sure Emmitt is the one to be giving Dak contract advice, he did hold out for a new contract in 93. Doubt he had that same perspective when he was playing.
Dak should get paid as much as possible. It's about the money. Make that money now while you can. Sucks for us fans but it's exactly what he should do

Funny thing is not a single fan/poster would take anything less if they were in his shoes. ANYONE saying they would is lying ........
