Such a headache for such an average player.
Exactly.
The team is literally killing themselves over a dressed up prostitute.

Hmmm. Maybe I have and that's why it pisses me off, but if I'm wrong I don't know how to explain this...You are looking at this wrong. Wentz is on the same deal (rookie deal) for 2019, so that isn't part of the new contract, that's just finishing out the old one. The new one is what kicks in going forward (2020 and beyond). The one caveat is the up front signing bonus was paid when the extension was signed (thus the term "signing bonus") rather than when the new contract starts.
Combining the six years of base salaries at $63.503 million, the $30 million option bonus, the roster bonuses at a combined $28.1 million, and the signing bonus of $16,367,683, the deal has a total value of $137,970,683, or about $23 million per year over the full six years.
He has been offered a ridiculously expensive contract. He just wants a shorter one so he can cash in even more after the other young QBs set the market higher.He's gotta lead his fellow teammates and colleagues around the league. Gotta show the youth you know your worth and the ball is in your court. Don't get just succumb to your "owner".
But is he asking for a shorter one than normal, or are the Cowboys asking for a longer one than normal?He was terrible at the end of last season. Not being able to put up a touchdown in the biggest game of the season is embarrassing. The eagles sold all out to stop Zeke. And dak couldn't make them pay. He was awful. Not a guy that should be turning down 34-35 million a year if you ask me
I don't think you pay a player whatever he wants just because he's a QB, but maybe you're right. I just look at Wentz and Goff and even Wilson and it irks the hell out of me that Dak can't take a deal that pays him more than those guys are getting paid, more than anyone has ever made playing football, and be happy. Why is one year such a BFD to him? Does he not realize that every dime he gets paid is a dime the team doesn't have to spend on defense or put offensive talent around him? Does he just not give a damn? He could've been the good guy in this, taken the $35/m per for five years and made tons of money being the beloved QB of the Dallas Cowboys, without paying state taxes on any of it. But no. He had to push this as far as it would go, and is refusing to sign because he wants to renegotiate after four years instead of five? That seems completely selfish to me and it pisses me off. I used to be a huge Dak Prescott fan.Exactly. So why is one year a issue? If you have a franchise quarterback.....you sign him. You don't let one year change that. This all makes no sense.
Good point. And nobody really knows for sure expect him and the cowboys.But is he asking for a shorter one than normal, or are the Cowboys asking for a longer one than normal?

It's only getting worse for Dak since his rookie year and he's playing hardball.
Jerry give this young inept QB the BOOT, please!!
I understand what you are saying. It is a team sport. But if I'm going to make a guy the highest paid QB in the league, I expect him to be the difference in a game where all you needed was literally one touchdown to get to the playoffs. His shoulder seemed fine the following week against Washington. I just think the eagles executed their game plan which was make dak beat them at all costs. Zeke wasn't going to be able to do anythingHe was also working through shoulder injuries in December as well. I am disappointed Dak is holding out in this manner as leader of this team, especially considering his chances for injury are slim in virtual off-season. But let's be fair about his injury circumstances and that other offensive and defensive players on our team didn't exactly play lights out as well. It doesn't just take Dak to win a game and certainly not to lose a game either. It is a team sport. Just my opinion, but I believe this coaching staff not only confused but demoralized these players.
classicDak and SB should never go in the same sentence.
delusion . Dak could not beat the jetsYes they should, just like Peanut Butter and Jelly.

exactly , the eagles dared zak to beat them with his arm and accuracy , and he could not even score 1 touchdown . there were no excuses. He had Zeke, a top OL , and Amari etc . Plus the defense played well. Dak could not do it. why are so many fans stubborn to face the reality of how mediocre he is ?I understand what you are saying. It is a team sport.

may you live in interesting times.lol skipping virtual meetings. what a time.
Eagles didn't sell out to sell Zeke what are you talking about? Zeke just sucked like the rest of the team did. Also doesn't help his coach didn't run him more.He has been offered a ridiculously expensive contract. He just wants a shorter one so he can cash in even more after the other young QBs set the market higher.

Do we know what deal Dak is turning down or are we just taking the Jones's word for it?I don't think you pay a player whatever he wants just because he's a QB, but maybe you're right.

Yeah..5 years is one more year than 4 years.
Cowboys like handing out 5+ year term deals to their core players.
- Tyron Smith: eight years
- Travis Frederick: six years
- Dez Bryant: five years
- Zack Martin: six years
- Jaylon Smith: five years
- La’el Collins: five years
- Ezekiel Elliott: six years
It allows them to manipulate the cap numbers and restructure when need be.
CorrectSo his tag does not obligate him to participate?? Correct?
I get a player not showing up and risking an injury with no contractWhat a shame, if true.
