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

[InTheZone]

LMAO

 

[Rockport]

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..

No team is going to trade their 27 yr old franchise QB. He’s dominated his draft class, rookie of the Year, has a great TD to int ratio and came within 1 yard of setting the all time Cowboys passing record of the likes of Lebaron, Meredith, Staubach, Morton, Aikman, White and Romo.

Stop the suffering. Tag him now

 

[garyo1954]

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.

Don't ignore the Cowboys have options as well. The Cowboys have to bring in a QB anyway whether draft or free agent. That somebody has experience Dak won't get sitting.

Now I can dump Dak on my terms and he has no say in the destination.

He's playing a game he can only win if I'm stupid enough to give in. And Jerry may be. Washington didn't with Cousins. And Cousins is now in his last year with Minnesota.

Ah, I would say Cousins made out pretty well. Fully guaranteed contract, good money, got out of Washington, and got a contender to pay him that money. Not bad.

 

[Proof]

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.

that’s the price you pay by suppressing their rookie wages

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

This article is a nice read at: www.bloggingtheboys.com

If that is the deal than Dallas deserves every 8-8 and below year they will get with Dak the Hack.

Except he's not on Washington's payroll and he hasn't won a Super Bowl. So if all he wants is money, yeah, he made out. But so did the Commanders by not paying him.

Same would true for Dallas.

Who are you going to bring in? Are you going to draft someone which usually 2-3 attempts to get right (I do not joke about the 2/3 failure rate), or are you going to pay a Keenum or a MM to come on the cheap and that will not even slightly intimidate Dak? Do you throw 30 million at Brees, Brady, or Bridgewater, the former 2 being done and the latter having yet to play a full season in years? How is Washington an example of winning? They lost him for nothing and are are now nothing and stuck playing the QB carousel where they have to keep trying to draft QBs until they find 1 who is as good as the guy they let walk. Meanwhile Minnesota is a solid playoff team and will likely extend Kirk. Kirk won that and Washington very much so lost; they are now nothing and will not be anything probably for at least the next few years.

How can people look at Washington and think "That team won," because I look at them and think "Wow they are awful now," when before they actually were competitive. They were not winning, because they were awful at drafting and traded everything they had for RG3 who also bombed, but they were at least competitive.

Only a League Floor, for the cheapie owners.

No cap. These guys get their brains knocked around!
Only a floor and it should be a high floor.

50 question posts are worthless in a discussion. You can't expect anyone to answer all those in one post.

Dak doesn't have to worry who Dallas brings in. He should be more concerned about learning the new offense.

LMAO! You want Dallas to win that bad? I mean, Jerry was the one who proposed the Salary Cap because he was tired of paying high prices.......it's true! I read it on the internet!

 

[Bigdog]

I think Dak or his agent is asking way too much. They don’t understand that he has limitations. He should get a little more than Wentz and I will go as far as as much as Goff. No more, no less. If he doesn’t like it tough. Franchise him and I would be all for moving up to get Tua if his injuries are fine. Let the two compete and the best man win. If a team wants to trade for 2 1st ( no one in their right mind would do it) so be it. If not than Dak you can be FA next year. Good luck. I like Dak and would love to keep him but sometimes a man needs to know his limitations. Dak and his agent do not at this point.

It was literally 1 question with multiple options. What else do you do because all the other options are terrible?

Washington very much so lost that though. They went from being relevant despite trading away 3 years of top picks for a player not on their roster, to irrelevant with no real young talent and nothing on their roster. That is losing, not winning and now they are stuck being awful for the next few years while they hunt for someone as good as Kirk while Kirk gets to play in the playoffs on a legit football team. Kirk won.

You got me wrong. I look at something bigger than the team we love.

Yep, Cousins won and the Vikings didn’t lose, but the Commanders didn’t lose either. They went 7-9 in 2017 with him and 7-9 in 2018 without him. That’s not putting it on Cousins at all, it just means that things didn’t disintegrate without him and even if it did there wasn’t a really long way to fall.
Similarly they went 8-8 with Dak and no playoffs, not all on Dak by any means, but going 5-11 with a journeyman wouldn’t be some fall from grace.

That's your opinion and you're welcome to it. You're taking Dak's side. I'm taking the Cowboy's side.

I can see where Dak doesn't want to lose his job.
I can see where Dak could find a new team.
I can see where Dak is hoping the Cowboys don't take that option.

But none of that makes any difference from the Cowboys side. Like Washington, if we're done with him, then it doesn't matter who we bring in.

Now you want to take the fan view and make it into another discussion.
I've seen how those go. Thanks but no thanks!

Let me have a few drinks and I'll catch up to you.
Fact: I'll need a few drinks before this thread is over. Might need my Dakoder Ring to get through it.

 

[shabazz]

Been busy this weekend. Has Dakota been offered his big contract yet?
