Former NFL agent sets Dak price target to eclipse $100M in guarantees

One former NFL agent set a target price for Dak to eclipse $100M in guarantees
Joel Corry is a former agent that does a lot of work in the salary cap space these days. He has his finger on the pulse of contractual numbers and can generally foreshadow what types of deals are coming.

Corry put on his thinking cap and churned out a target price for Dak Prescott’s potential deal with the Cowboys. If you were wondering, yes, Corry does have Dak returning to Dallas, and with quite the sizable deal.

Contract Package: $150 Million/4 Years ($37.5 Million Per Year)

Overall Guarantees: $120 Million

I feel like there should be a league cap installed on guarantees before they get out of control. Goff got $110 million in guarantees. Dak will go up. And imagine what Mahomes and Lamar Jackson are going to get!

Suppose one of these players has a Theismann-esque leg snap the first year of that contract? Even if you break it in half for two years, that's a huge chunk.

a whole lot of GUESSING..this is why he isnt signed asking for far too much.. goff/wentz got what 110 now dak wants 120..SMH FT let his get offers take 2 firsts from him and move forward..

I think this is a general feeling within the NFL players' agent community. Peter King quoted almost the exact numbers from a couple agents 3 weeks ago. Say ing his deal would likely be right at $37m PER YEAR.

I think that would be doable with a 5th year. Of course the overall number would increase by $37.5M.

Did Peter well I guess maybe Dak will exceed 37 mil I tbought somewhere I read he was shooting for 40 mil due to new CBA and larger cap

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FT , trade, and bye bye

pull the cord Jerry use him up get another guy and let him walk..

I mean if anything having high guarantees for a QB contract so that you can lower amounts per year just makes sense. The franchise QB is not getting cut so you are going to be paying him the AAV, unlike other positions where there is a real chance of getting cut, so you might as well make it so that you boost the guaranteed dollars so that you can lower the AAV like what the Vikings did with Cousins.

IMHO, the guaranteed money has always been the hangup on getting Dak signed. Once this is settled (it will be), a lot of Zoners can then climb off the window ledge.

Personally I think somewhere things do need to get capped but im laughing would the players union ever agree on that

If you franchise tag you have to pick a team Dak is willing to sign a contract for, because he has the power to just either not sign the tag or not sign an extension, and no team will trade if he wont be willing to sign an extension with them.

Also even if you pull off a trade in that scenario you are still stuck either paying 30m for a QB or drafting one and statistically getting another Mitch Trubisky and being awful for a few years.

so? Get a journeymen , draft say Fromm or Hurts in the 4th and start the process.. MM is genius a qb whisperer, well start whispering BYE DAK..

we should have plan anyway having a new 4th round drfat pick and journeymen as backups to Dak or to be there if Dak holds out..The FO needs plan and good one to prevent Dak frm holding them hostage..37 is INSANE for Daks talent..

Whoever you draft statistically will fail. I cited Mitch Trubisky because he is a slightly ABOVE AVERAGE 1st round pick pick. If you go the journeyman/draft route then all you are really doing is just locking the team into 6-7 wins while you hunt for the franchise guy which is the worst place to be in the NFL. Its okay to be terrible and get cap space (just ask SF) for a couple years if you can hit on those picks, but being stuck at just below average is the worst place to be in the NFL.

Dak was 4th very similar to Hurts/Fromm type, we went 13-3 .. its not always a failure, we have a strong run game, solid line, good targets, this new staff has all offseason to adjust..like I said a journeymen plus a draft pick to get this started..

He wants to strike gold in the 4th round again because it turns out the gold we found in the 4th round 4 years ago is valuable.

If you tag him he's free to make the best deal he can. He then offers the Cowboys the chance to match. If they do not, they get 2 #1s.

So its a risk by both sides.
The Cowboys are betting he don't get his price.
Dak is betting he does.

Yes, if he don't have to sign the tag, but then he sits out. Dallas could tag him again next year. Essentially he's wasting his career if he isn't on the field. And he, no doubt, knows that.

It is not always awful, it just fails about 2/3 of the time, in the first round alone and it gets worse the later you go. If the Cowboys start a journeyman in the vein of Keenum or Mariotta, you probably could get them for a reasonable price, granted they are about the only ones you could get for a cheap deal, and with them you are probably looking at around 6-10 if they start. However they will probably still be better statistically then whoever you draft in the first round (remember MM was the 2nd pick in the draft so do not expect much from a highly drafted QB). If you figure that it will take 2 or 3 tries to get a solid QB if you pick in the first and give them 3 years to prove it, you are looking at about 4-6 years of not being a contender which means also having to replace most of the current roster in that timeframe.

I know everyone eclipses the guy that signs last and I like Dak a lot. But no where in this world should he eclipse Russell Wilson. I dont care what stats you bring me or anything else. Dak does not breath the same air as Wilson and Russes contract hasnt even dried yet. Thats not a knock on Dak thats most of the QBs in this league arent Russell Wilson

He is not going to sit out. He will just wait to sign the tag until the end of training camp, lose 0 money and you basically had no offseason program because the new coach could not work with the QB at all and the QB could not work with any of the players. You then are in the exact same situation next year except his leverage is now higher and the contract is now higher.

You can do the double franchise tag method and let him walk for nothing, but all that means is in 2 years the team has no franchise QB and the Cowboys will probably spend another couple firsts trying to find one and by that time you need all new pieces.

And if no one comes calling for him to make that deal the leverage would fall back to the Cowboys, you would think anyway. It would put thinks in better perspective
