And then Daks contract will be up for renewal and he will want another 20% of the cap space. It's grounding day, that's why he wanted a 4 year deal, so he can screw the team in perpetuity.
It's not the dollars it's the length and its effect on the cap, Dak wants to eat his cake now and again when the cap goes up in future.
This QB driven league ( instigated by the commisioner) has teams gutting themselves to pay stupid QB salaries and praying the draft works out.
Pay him this cash now and this team has little or no chance of winning a SB. He just isn't that great a QB. Even with the weapons ( which will go eventually as a result of his salary).
Good guy, team like him. Bad business. However, saying all that the Jones gang will give him more or less what he wants, this site will moan when we go at best one and done and those that banged the Dak drum will slide away or change their username and join in the criticism.
Plus ca change.
