That is Dallas' own fault. They slow played and paid him after forcing a tag year so France rightfully said you will now only get 4 years. The deal was never bad. The team just didn't win enough during it.
But it was a 4-year deal with a 1-year tag at a lower rate. Not bad at all really. Just very unnecessarily dramatic.
These narratives have to stop this is not the Jones family's fault you do realize there's very smart agents and players that won't allow themselves to be lowballed or signed for long contracts that don't benefit them they knew this is coming they are not allowing this to happen it's happened with lamb Parsons and everyone they will not allow themselves to be lowballed... There's far too many moving parts the Jones family is 1/3 of this equation the agents and players in the market play a big role in this and they will not allow themselves to be signed to early bad contracts just like right now two has just turned down 50 million he's not even worth 50 million they know what the salary cap's gonna be three years from now they're not gonna allow themselves to be signed early this just happens in the NFL some players will take it like Trayvon diggs and I appreciate him taking a fourth overall contract at the time that still fit because he did the team a favor because he wasn't greedy but there are other people in this process that the Jones have no control over..
You can keep taking sides because it's obvious around here not many people like the Jones family but stop acting like they're the only players in this game it is a big time game now lots of players coming to the table refusing to do any team a favor because they see how owners shipped them off really fast tear up contracts cut them trade them so now they've got smart and they're just gonna do for themselves which is fine but stop blaming the owners for all this...
The dramas coming from the fan base the media the saturated market of social media and dramatic effect making stories up every day none of this is even true and I'm telling you right now Prescott back in 2020 wasn't going to take a lowball deal that was like 6 years knowing that in three years he can come back to the table and get 20 more million they're not allowing themselves to do this this is not on the Jones family you think if they designed him early and not franchise tagged him we wouldn't be in this position nonsense there are players two years into their contracts like their new ones like tyree kill over in Miami that are already holding out for another deal you can hold out at any time it doesn't matter if you design A smaller deal at the time for what 35 to 38 million they were gonna come back in three years and ask for more money anyway it was gonna be pretty much the same situation as we're in now because agents and players will not do that...
I love reading these busted *** narratives that people come on here and claim they know what would have happened if the Jones family offered a contract back in 2019 or 2020 early and if Prescott would have signed for it and it's agents have come out and made that statement I mean where's the proof that that didn't happen behind the scenes that they didn't offer him a smaller contract say 35,000,000 / 4 or five years and he turned it down that's more than likely it did happen you all saying it didn't happen just as bad as people saying it did happen...
Negotiations always are happening behind the scenes and they're not always published for the public to see... There's no proof that any of these players would have signed for less and would assigned early absolutely 0 proof it's all hyperbole rhetoric it's all opinions you know what they say about opinions they're like ******** everyone has one but doesn't make anybody right everyone's picking a damn side because I don't like the Jones family it's ridiculous look around all leagues...
Players have been more smart have been getting better tougher agents and are now gonna allow themselves to be lowballed anymore... So if you wanted Prescott to sign for $35 million back in 2019 or 2020 which most people around here were saying he wasn't worth 20 nobody wanted to pick these people don't you think that the Jones family feels the same way they wanted to see these guys prove themselves before they give them these big contracts but show me where Prescott then wouldn't have come back after three years into this $35 million deal and asked for 55 million we'd have been in the same spot because he would have wanted a raise like all these other guys early on in their contracts..
No one's living up to their contracts period end of story and owners are also known for not living up to their obligations so we're here in the middle trying to state our opinions but this is not the Jones family's fault this is the market this is the agents this is the players this is all a big game for big money and it doesn't happen overnight..
And I'm gonna finish with this everybody who claims that Jones family is all business and all about money because they're always come from a business where they built themselves into billionaires they have other businesses besides the Cowboys they have franchises like Papa John's and other things you don't think that they don't understand the art of the contract and negotiations I mean that's the one thing people here have to agree upon and that means they're probably trying this all these hypotheticals that fans think that should but we don't know it because they're not going to negotiate in public most of the time you're only gonna hear with both sides wants you to hear just like in most court cases things are closed to the normal people.... The Jones family are good business people and they understand the market they have hundreds of people that work for them like lawyers CPA's salary cap experts they I'm sure have tried behind the scenes the sign guys early and it just didn't happen..
