Great news about Steele, but where does the money come to make offers to Dak and Lamb? Please give your thoughts? Do you think Ceedee will want a max deal, we better hurry before Jefferson signs

Cap increases every year. CD will get a top end deal say top 5 but won't get what the elite elite guys get unless he goes up another level this year.

They must know it increases significantly.

CeeDee is NOT Jefferson and if he or his agent can't understand this then c'est la vie!!!!
Dak is a pre-June 1st,2024 Cut as the numbers can and will work for this outcome.

I'm good with this but only if Lance shows he is capable. IDK if 1 year will be enough time.

The Cowboys are planning to sign all these guys. Unless Dak wants a record breaking contract I think all three get done. (Dak, Lamb, Parsons).

Dak haters look away now.

The Cowboys can simply extend Dak a few more years and reduce his annual cap hit. Add that to the fact the cap will steadily increase and they can easily afford not only Dak and Lamb, but Parsons too.

And to be fair, as has been stated here above, the Cowboys can, indeed, move on from Dak after 6-1-24. Of course, that means they would have to be 100 percent convinced about Trey Lance by then, which I can't see how they could be.

And then Parsons…?
I presume Tyron and Lawrence will get cut next off-season to make cap room for the Dak extension and Parsons deal? Maybe Gallup too? Will that even be enough with Diggs, Steele, Ceedee, and Martin sitting on fat new deals?

Top 5:

1. Tyreek Hill 30m$ AAV
2. Davante Adams 28m$ AAV
3. Cooper Kupp 27m$ AAV
4. AJ Brown 25m$ AAV
5. Stefon Diggs 24m$ AAV

He’ll make top 5 money but you don’t think he’ll be paid elite money? How do you mean?

I don’t know and honestly, don’t care. NFL teams find the way to pay who they want to pay.

Our front office is better than most at working the cap so I’m not concerned. None of us really have a clue as to how it all works.

yeah, we will see if the ego will take a team-friendly deal, or if he will personally hurt the whole team.
Because those are the only two options.

Don’t pretend that you understand NFL contracts.

My post said, "Yeah, we will see if the ego will take a team-friendly deal, or if he will personally hurt the whole team." Don't pretend to make it more than what I said...

I looked over my post again, and I didn't see anything about knowing contracts. :facepalm:
