News: ESPN: Dak not fretting on deal: 'I don't play for money'

[Coogiguy03]

A guy who doesn't play for money doesn't hold out on contract negotiations.

I'm OK w/ it if someone plays for the money, but man up and be truthful.

totally!!!

Always find it amazing year after year that fans don't really understand the business of the NFL. As fans we hate that guys get signed for a massive contract and don't get to a Super Bowl or win a playoff game but if any of us would have the opportunity to holdout out for a bigger paycheck and not get laid off or fired, we would all do it.

The price we are paying players is crazy but you know what else is crazy, the amount of money every owner makes each year by owning a team. Take the New York Jets on their 2022 revenue before expenses which includes amounts paid to players, it was 516 million dollars and profit was after players and all other expenses paid was $169 million. Guess what, Dallas Cowboys revenue during that same time was $1.4 BILLION with expenses roughly the same, and you want to complain what the players are asking for in salary. Really??

Sure there is a cap in place and they have to be in cap compliance but every team manages that cap differently as we have seen. But guess what, on the next NFL/NFLPA contract they could actually make all those cap problems go away depending on what the negotiations are.

The NFL is just big business where even the poorest of teams are making hundreds of millions of $$. For fans, it is about winning and winning a Super Bowl especially for the teams that have been there before, for others it is just about winning a division or a playoff game. For Dallas fans, nothing short of winning a Super Bowl is acceptable, not that it is wrong but it is just not reality.

Wrong, Dak has already been paid his lottery and failed at returning anything in return.
Dak has never earned the Big Payday, but he has already received it once, and now expects it again... lol
Can't make this stuff up.

Option 3: Dak has agents to handle his business for him.

We went from “I’m confident a deal gets done” to “I’ll control what I can control”.

Enjoy the farewell tour.

I cannot confirm if Dak said this without laughing.

So Dak doesnt want money but his “business people” do?

Maybe Dak should fire the “business people” who are going against his wishes

Rare Dak Prescott mistake to the media. The guy typically says all the right things in front of the microphone, but this one may come back to haunt him. "I don't play for money" could be his version of "All in"

He says this knowing full well he and everyone in the Cowboys organization know that he will only play for max money

Im not a Lamar fan but at least he owned up to what he wanted

If you want to be a leader, be honest at least

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

is it LIKELY that Lance is going to be a top NFL QB?
NO
Impossible?
also NO

I gave ya a like....cuz yer right. Odds are against him. Might be one reason imma cheer him on.

Do you guys have any idea how ridiculous posts like this will sound in hindsight?

Do you know how stupid it sounds right now?

So you are referring to your post..

 

[Typhus]

All of those words... and the successful young man will still make more money in 1 Sunday this fall than you'll touch in your lifetime.

Oh, and he was still the MVP runner-up. Cry about it.

Most of us are already convinced that you are Tad.

He sounds like how I’d expect a Cowboy fan to sound lol.

 

[PAPPYDOG]

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

With somebody else.

We don’t want him for free.

"Most of us"?

So you've gossipped about me to strangers on the internet?

And the young multi-millionaire is the loser, not you guys?

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

Most of us are already convinced that you are Tad.

the post below yours is tad.

 

[shabazz]

Most of us are already convinced that you are Tad.

Does this mean Tad is finally gonna have to get a real job?....... oh the humanity.

I cannot confirm if Dak said this without laughing.

LOL , ask him to play for peanuts with escalator clauses - bonus for playoff wins , conf championship, SB appearance . Then we will know

Another team can if they want.

I don’t want him even if he’d play for free.

 

[stiletto]

I mean let’s be honest when it comes to Dak he really can’t say the right thing lol. Whatever he says will be scrutinized….Romo went through it too.

It's kind of to be expected from most fans if you've had almost a decade to win something actual meaningful like a NFC Championship or SB and haven't been able to get close to getting it done. Same with Romo..they are one in the same guy to me. Both are really rich though.

I mean it’s not how I operate but I certainly get why it happens. Dak was scrutinized before she even entered the league. So yeah 8 years later? There’s nothing he can say. Even if he won a SB what on earth can he say in these pressers?

Well the good news is you have Hurts in Philly so you don’t have to worry about Cowboys affairs.

Yup.

I’m one of those ultra rare Eagle fans that want their biggest rival to get rid of a perpetual loser QB and take things more serious.
