For me or Dak? Because I was just repeating Dak's sentiments that he shared from contract negotiations. Dak wanted to get paid top dollar, if Parsons doesn't decide to go that route than maybe the money isn't as important to him as it is for Dak.
"I'm a guy that grew up with two older brothers. You understand what a brotherhood means, not only for just this team but the fraternity of the NFL and the players. The money is out there and the money can happen. It can be done. There's ways to make everything work for both ways. That's in that sense it's always about pushing the envelope for the next man."
- Dak Prescott
where did he say he wants to be the highest paid and get top dollars? he actually said he doesn't have to be the highest paid.
and his agent did a fantastic job, his job was to get as much as possible and he did. kudos to his agent. and the issue lies with idiot Jones who just dragged and milked the negotiations. could have freaking done it a lot earlier and allow himself to make other moves, but the moron didn't.
and Dak prescott is right, the money is out there and every other player is out there too trying to maximize their contracts. and he didn't say QBs club, he said NFL and the players. and pushing the envelop for the next man. in the meantime a greedy owner like Jones, who owns the most valued sports franchise anywhere and probably the highest profitable one, benched Cooper Rush so he doesn't have to pay him 250,000. I am sure some here will say it was because of having to pay Dak!!!! is CD greedy and wrong? is Justin Jefferson greedy and wrong? was Tyreek hill wrong? was Goff greedy and wrong when he got paid 55M, at the time the highest, how about Love? or Hurts or........you get the point.
in April 2024, Prescott said, "I'm not trying to be the highest-paid, necessarily". He also said that he'll wait until negotiations begin and want to put the team in the best position.
and wait until parsons negotiations begin before we say anything else. he is going to end up the highest paid defender in the league.
and question to all the people who keep harping on the contract and team friendly etc. what would be a team friendly contract? if he took a 55M contract would that be team friendly?
no one here is sitting and crying and complaining about owners raking it in, but when players do, people tend to just go ape ****, because of their emotional attachment one way or the other. people here are upset for him to get what he could, instead of what the fans think he should be getting paid in their opinion. how the heck does that work!!!! do every employee who is getting hired need to take a survey of what their salary should be? do CEOs of companies put out a survey and ask the public and even stock holders how much money they should make and turn down offers?
