Formula for determining Dak's extension

[visionary]

Dak is not Russell Wilson even on his best day

Wilson is a much better thrower of the ball which is how you win in the NFL

Using him as a benchmark is idiocy

Dak is a good but not franchise QB and I'm not on board with paying him like that

Having said this, we'll pay him because the morons negotiating the contract have put themselves in a hole by their stupid statements

Here’s the bottom line issue on Dak’s contract as I see it. Yes, Dak Prescott and every other player deserves market value. The problem is the conversation seems to be market value for a franchise QB and that is totally wrong in my opinion. The conversation should be market value for Dak Prescott. Dak May have proven he is worthy of an extension and have the confidence of the team to be its QB for the next 5-6 years but that doesn’t mean he has proven he is worth top 5 QB money. I personally don’t believe he has proven he is good enough to be given that type of money simply because he didn’t show any signs of being able to carry the team to wins with Zeke or a stud WR so when injuries happen, I’m not convinced he will put the team on his shoulders and get it done. If you don’t believe he can do that, then he doesn’t deserve to be paid as if he can. Contract negotiations seem to have evolved into I must get more than the last guy at my position who signed a deal instead of players getting deals according to their worth and where they stack up to the other guys at their position. Cooper is a great WR but he isn’t the best in the league and should not be made the highest paid WR. Hopefully he won’t be and Dak will take a deal close to his market value, not the market value for a top 5 QB.

Whether Cowboys fans think he's worth it or not, 27-30 per year is the market value for a franchise qb. That's the bottom line, like it or not. We are not gonna sign him for 5M.

They have to use the Wilson contract for reference because it's the newest and highest for a franchise qb. How else are they supposed to determine a range to offer him?

Think about it... The market/cap goes up every year. Dak is gonna get a little more than half of Wilson's contract, which is upper middle of the range since he doesn't have many accomplishments. If Dak gets a couple SB's under his belt, his next contract will be astronomical and vice versa. Like I said above we arent gonna sign Dak at $5M/yr

This is the best formula or comparison in coming up with projecting Dak's new deal that could be happening very soon.

I'll use Russel Wilson as the example because they had very similar stats over the first 3 years of their career. Wilson was more successful in most areas but Dak was fairly close (obviously minus a Superbowl win).

In 2015, Russell Wilson signed a 4 year extension for $87.6 million and 61.53 million guaranteed.

The total salary cap for a team to spend that year was $143.28 million.

So the total contract was about 61% of the salary cap and the guaranteed money was 43%.

This year, teams have a total of $194 million to spend. So using those percentages from Wilson's first extension we get 4 years $118.34 million and $83.42 guaranteed as the absolute max. If his deal is more than this, Dallas overpaid.

I would say that is at the very top of Prescott's range. However, since he has not led the team to a superbowl, I see his actual value being less than that.

If he can be extended for 4 years for $110 million and 77 million guaranteed, Dallas and Dak both got a fair deal, in my opinion. This is the ball park I'm hoping for.

This has to be @Jumbo075 alternate account.

Franchise him for two years, then draft Trevor Lawrence.

Let the Trevor over Dak campaign begin.

You're going to be a real hit here.

Hey, the kid would have been a top ten pick if he'd came out as a freshman. He appears to be the next Tom Brady. Who doesn't want the next Tom Brady?

bring back that old football throwing challenge thing. Line all the quarterbacks up, heck even the backups and see where he finishes. Then paying him where he ends.
