Twitter: Fisher: Glazer: Dak not going anywhere, not asking for $40M

[StuckMojo]

So your answer is "someone".

Yes. Just don’t think Dak deserves Wilson type money. If he gets it I will pull hard for him like I do every game.

I think Fort Worth star telegram stated yesterday, Dak was looking for Wilson money. So 35m+

That's the indications Fisher's latest gives as well, stating "mid $30 million a year", simple math puts "mid" at 5.

I say that if he wants $35 million a year, I want years as a compromise, at least four and possibly five. That means he gets more guaranteed and the team saves more on the backend when the salaries continue to explode.

Well that's good anyway.

I won't argue that none of them deserve money like that in this world, but that is the market, and if the owners aren't paying the players, they're pocketing it.

Chad Hutchinson is still available.

Fair enough but since I am on Dak hater slaughter fest allow me to ask....Are those the same garbage stats Dak was accused of accumulating?


Last time I checked Romo had a putrid record against Playoff teams which happened to "winning teams"


I Disagree and Agree....

Garrett could have the most talented team...but he was game time putrid and never knew how to handle injuries to starters.

Parcells retired but he could have gotten the best out of any roster

We’d have to go back and research but I’d suspect Romo put up bigger numbers against winning teams than Dak has, at least recently .

This year for example we only averaged 15 points a game in our 8 losses including 3 games not even scoring a TD. And zero games overcoming a 7 point or more deficit.

Now we rolled in our 8 wins rolling up averaging 35 points a game. Too bad we don’t have more than 4 games against Wash and NY.

That’s not what I said . I said the fact their teams went to a Super Bowl is more favorable to them . And if Dak had reached one then I think it would have strengthened his leverage.

You don't pay QBs for what their backups did.

That's exactly how Zeke's contract played out, a high number for the player but a favorable structure for the team. IMO we know how this story ends, we just don't know when.

It’s ok to say “ someone”. The Fear Factor is just that. Any name we throw out the slobberers will just dissect them.

The bigger point is there’s probably several journeyman QB available in FA with similar talent level of Prescott who could come into this offense and potentially have more success than previously for a more team friendly salary .

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Really? The football experts on this board was able to make me believe that he wanted to be highest paid QB. I am disappointed now.

That’s what they told me too.....they had inside knowledge......

He is "someone"...

I understand but do you do pay for them for what they did. You do recall the level he was playing at leading them to home field advantage. Carson was a part of that SB team. He has a Ring.

It seems like it. I see two options.

1. A shorter term deal for a little less than $35 million (say $33 million a year) that allows Prescott and his agent to hit that next contract sooner
2. A longer term deal that gives him the $35 million he's looking for and the longer terms the Cowboys are looking for.

If you are his agent you pick and chose the good while ignoring the bad. After he signed that contract he completely wussed out in his playoff start. "What he did" includes the good and the bad.

 

[ESisback]

Hope so.

I want to shake Dak, and tell him: "Dak, you can retire on 30 mil. Get those figures out of your head and take around 30 so we can have a shot at a super bowl. Don't listen to the m orons who think this is some stupid contest about who is making more. It doesn't matter even a little bit what someone else makes."

Put that on a T-Shirt, brutha!

 

[Diehardblues]

Their backup didn’t lead them to 12 wins and home field advantage. You keep ignoring .

Who really believes Prescott should be paid more than Wilson ? Surely don’t believe he’s more talented than Wilson?

 

[Ranched]

Philly did.

 

[Diehardblues]

I don’t blame Dak. Jerry will cave eventually cause he has no leverage or alternatives as usual.

And why shouldn’t he maximize his contract. It’s not like Jerry’s going to build a championship team around him anyway. Get your money dude. Screw Jerry.

 

[Diehardblues]

Dak will put butts in the seats and sell a ton of jerseys. The fans love him. We aren’t winning any championships anyway. Get your money dude. Screw Jerry. We’ll dump you at some point.
Business first !!

The article says he wants mid-30s. $35 million would make him the highest paid QB in the league, with Russell Wilson.
