There is zero chance Dak takes less than $35,000,000 a year. If anything having to play out this year without a contract has just pissed him off. Furthermore Dak does not seem himself the same way that a lot of people on this board see him.... including me. Dak has been a star his whole life.... he does not see himself as an average starting NFL QB. Hence his attitude of I will show them and play it out and prove people wrong. There is an element of delusional thinking there. Dak could argue that statistically he was the best QB in the entire NFL this year. He will cite wins in past years & division titles. He will say it is not his fault that the team went 8-8. Bad Defense, Bad Special Teams, Bad Coaching, Bad Field Position, Bad Play Calling, Dropped Passes from the WR's, etc, etc.... Personally I think he throws a tough ball to catch.... hence why all the DB's dropped about 15 picks this year.
He will say he was underpaid all those other years. So he deserves even more. The endorsements that come from being the Dallas Cowboys QB he will say he had to spend a lot of time and work to do those commercials so there is no home town discount there. He does not care that playing in TX is a lot cheaper than playing in a state such as CA where you have an extra 13% of your income that gets taxed.
And the biggest point is that he already turned down between $32-$35 million a year. He will never tuck his tail between his legs and take even less now or even the same deal. That would be against his pride and ego.
If Dallas tries to Franchise Tag him that would really piss him off. He could threaten to not sign and hold out..... but only after the draft when Dallas did not draft a QB. To give himself even more leverage.
If Dallas wants a happy QB that will run with the ball and risk himself than they will have to pay him a minimum of $37,000,000 a year..... anything less Dak will tell them to go pound sand.
This is why Dak has not been signed to a long term deal. Unless something drastic changes Jerry will have to give in. He gave into Dez, Zeke, & Lawrence.... history is on Dak's side.
Talk is cheap. Jerry & Stephen say Dak is the man.... but if they really really felt that way they would have paid him already and not sacrificed the 2019 season with the circus atmosphere the drama and the distraction. Having a lame duck coach did not help matters.
Bottom line Dak will get paid. In 2-3 years Dallas will have very little supporting cast. Dallas will be lucky to go 6-10. In addition the NFC East will get a lot better. Dallas is going to have additional problems with not having a good draft in about 3-4 years. Charlton, Hill, etc. To sign Dak means saying good bye to a stud corner in Jones..... the bigger problem is you are now moving everyone up one notch. Now instead of Jones on the field your 4th corner will be out there. Dallas probably will have to say goodbye to Quinn and his 15 sacks? In 14 games. Can they re-sign Cobb? What about Amari? Have people forgotten how bad the Dallas offense was pre-Amari.
