I think that question should be asked again after February 13th. All that matters is, can we win a superbowl with him? And with the Defense playing as it is, the chance hasn't been better for 20 years in my opinion. We'll probably lose a few important guys to FA, so doing it now would be nice timing too.
I don't care about their salaries in general. When Dak sucks he sucks, when he plays great he's great. Whether he earns base salary or is among the highest paid QBs in the league. And all that matters is what happens on the field. On paper we have a great team together even with all those "overpaid" guys, so it's a moot point, at least for now. I mean what signing has his salary made impossible? We have all the guys we want. Lamb just needs to stop dropping balls and the O Line has to hold the fort like they did in the first third of the season. Then we're all set.
So to answer the initial question, I think I would have signed him, but would have risked a hold out or losing him or at least exclude the no trade clause. I think 35mill a year would have been my max.. But woulda coulda... he's here so let's deal with it.
