Video: Get Up: Louis Riddick - Dak will get North of $60M

[Aven8]

If I’m Dak I’m cutting off negotiations now. Focus on football, and become the most sought after FA in recent memory next March. Even if he has a bad season to it won’t matter.

I don’t think the Cowboys brass has ever been all in on Dak. Always hesitation.

 

[America's Cowboy]

I never said that

You've got to do something. It can't be a 1 way street.

So what are you willing to do if Dak gets resigned for $55+ million / year?

If Dak signs for under $55M per year I bet you'll see a few posters go MIA.

Just let him prove himself ... again ... which he did not, he got injured. But the team was not really playing all that great when he was injured.
They were 1-3 when he was injured. Dalton finished that game and brought them from behind to win.

Let him play out this year.
Then we will see what happens.

This is a big weekend for contracts and the future of the Cowboys.

OK So what account executive from the NFL has said that that Prescott's gonna earn $10 million over market it's ridiculous can we stop posting opinions these people are putting their feelings in here they just want it to be a story and you bit and now it's a story he never asked for 60 million and he never asked for 65,000,055 million is the mark... So Prescott wants to be the highest paid quarterback in the league which we don't know if that's his demand it will be probably 56 million at the most,,,

I'm hoping Prescott sees the light and will take between 52 and 55 because that's still a great contract it still puts him in the same top five money that's my belief I don't think he's gonna get anything over 56 million.. If the Jones family wants to separate themselves on contracts just keep him 52,000,000 per year but make it 100% guaranteed I mean if they can guarantee to Sean Watson's $250 million Prescott probably deserves something similar I mean that's how you can make it sellable to take less money it's just make it all guaranteed.

I saw his comments live. He was actually saying what Dak would get if Dallas doesn’t sign him now. He may get 60 now, knowing that all the QBs resigned next year will get 60+, but he was also talking about if Dak hits free agency.

Thanks.
Once again some take it and manipulate it to their agenda. Rather they actually watched / read it or not. Most do not.

The moderate cap hit for a QB is 20% of a team’s salary cap. Right now that’s 51 million For the current 255,400,000 cap. That’s base salary cap hit. The QB may be getting paid more than that due to bonuses and guarantees, etc, but not all of it is hitting the cap.

Predictions are that the salary cap will go up 20-25 % each of the next few years due to exploding revenue streams. If it goes up even 20% next year, the salary cap on base salary will be 306,480,000. 20% of that is 61,296,000.

Only rookies, journeymen, and aging vets viewed as fair starters will be signing contracts under 60 million. The top QBs will all be looking to restructure their current contracts for more. Every NFL player will want his fair share. Why? Because the NFL billionaire owners will also be pocketing ridiculous profits.

If you want a new QB, that’s a fair opinion. But it’s not about money. The Cowboys haven’t used up their cap in recent years. We all know they could have been players in free agency this year if they wanted. Dak’s salary has never been a detriment to the Cowboys adding any players they wanted in free agency. Whatever the Cowboys or another team pay Dak Prescott, it will not cripple the team. Whether you think he’s worth it or not, Dak will get a huge contract from someone, and he will still be one of the top 15 QBs in the NFL.

Lol so what am i supposed to do? I never made a claim playboi

 

[GoldenR]

Highest paid WR in the league, highest QB, and highest paid Defensive player? Someone has to go. And for those that think Lamb does not want to be the highest paid over Jefferson or another you are lost. C.D.'s production would warrant that too. So..................roughly 140 mill between 3 players, we will never sniff a Super Bowl.

HE WONT GET 60 bookmark it.

 

[Loso86]

At this point WHO CARES. It'll be high for 1 season then next year and 2 years from now it'll be mid to low pay for a QB!

 

[Chuck 54]

HE WONT GET 60 bookmark it.

Are you talking from Dallas, or even in free agency? We already have two QBs at 55 per year. A year from now, and as a free agent where teams with money need a QB? I don’t know. Won’t surprise me.

look man it's all rhetoric, hyperbole, opinion, they're guessing, you're guessing, I'm guessing this is all a giant bunch of sports media and fan base flapping their gums. So, 55 been set 55 all guaranteed has not!!!

55.5, 56?? why 60-65 ??!! jeez people let it go i said what i felt and he could sign for 55 fully guaranteed as the next level detail in the deal... book mark this it wont be 60+

do us all favor and show us where dak, his agent or the cowboys organization talking that number, ever!!! you know the real official resource you can listen to and believe??

I'm not sure Dak wants to be the highest paid but his agent wants him to be the highest paid because he gets a piece of that pie.

3%. Plus, getting his client signed for the most ever will lead to additional top players signing with him.

 

[jterrell]

I would agree that it's mostly on the shoulders of the Cowboys for how they mismanaged the entire situation, but I don't see how it was anything but a horrible deal for the team. The franchise tag was a $31M tag which was the largest cap hit in the league for that season.

Most of these QBs are signing 7+ year deals for their 2nd contracts. Locking a player up at that high of a deal for 4 years really restricts your ability to manipulate the hits to the cap. Jerry/Stephen wanted to slow play the Dak situation and it cost the Cowboys significantly.

Its' just math 5 years 191M in total. We'd all take that in a heartbeat had that been signed in 2020.
Total spend wasn't bad at all.
Team just hasn't been able to find its way to win playoff games.
But the 3 years of the actual contract he has played they have won 37 games. Only 1 of those a playoff win however.
The Chiefs have only 1 a single more regular season game than Dallas over those 3 seasons.
But of course, a WHOLE lot more playoff wins.

 

[plymkr]

Quite the Houdini act by our FO, super impressive stuff lol.

The only magic this FO has done is made my passion for the team disappear.

 

[jterrell]

It's all gone in your opinion because you think you know something that none of us know you think that you're an agent a player or you're an ownership group that has not only one $10 billion business but they have several franchises they run no it's not $65 million as possible and we'll see that later you can bookmark this but 55 is not long gone it would make him one of the top paid players if I correct I said they can make it more valuable by making it all guaranteed so let's move on from you thinking you're some kind of expert you're not an expert and neither is the people that highlighted in this story these dudes are all just media they only know what the teams and agents want them to know you don't know squat that's the truth...

Yeah you would offer you have no skin in this game so nothing you are gonna do or say here is gonna make things a reality you can offer the guy $55 million in an all guaranteed 4 year contract where he has all the leverage and I don't see why Prescott wouldn't take it that's different that having the guaranteed money being about 70% of the contract you make it 100% it already happened with the Sean Watson you can make that the key to the negotiations.. Give him 55,000,000 fully guaranteed for four years with all the leverage and he will sign more than likely than not because that would be the key...

it's precious,all these super pro experts missing their true callin gin internet sites and sports media lmao Newsflash!! you not know anything...moving on

ROFL.. Good lord my dude why are you so upset???
This is an actual thing that will happen and there will be real numbers some point soon.
Throwing a hissy fit won't change any of it.
Find any source suggesting Dak signs for 55 or less and I'll show you a source in dreamland.
55 is more marginal starters with upside like Trevor Lawrence.
Dak just finished 2nd in MVP voting.
His agent would laugh at 55M AAV.

Dallas has every right o decid eupon an upper limit and Dak has every right ot decide on a floor.
If they don't make it work, he WILL GET 65M provided he stays healthy this year.

I agree the total spend over those 5 years wasn't horrible, however the effects of that deal are just now really being felt. That's not completely on the contract, but the front office mismanaging the cap hits as well. I compare it to say the Josh Allen deal which was signed at the same time which was 6/$258m, but was essentially an 8 year deal in total. That's a $43M per year AAV they have locked in through 2028.
