The article covers this pretty well. Dak would prefer a 4-year deal. If they want a fifth year, he's asking for a contract $10 million higher than what they've offered ($185 vs. $175). So they're negotiating over the 5th year and $2 million per year.
Willing to bet that most people that will react to this, won't bother to read the article. All it is, is a negotiating ploy because Dak's camp does not want to sign for 5 years. The time to sign him to a 5 year deal, was before last season. Give him more than his 2019 salary of 2 million and you can probably get away with paying him less than the $35 million APY that he's going to end up getting.
And now, Dallas is trying to make up for this folly, by locking him in at $35 in year 5, and there's no way Dak is going to go for that.
