Too late. Don't ask someone what they want for dinner and then tell them you're not cooking.
This should have been kept on the QT but now it's all out in the open and Prescott's value and worth being openly discussed on sports shows the individual's ego will get involved, that is inevitable. No way he's taking anything in the 20's now and he and his agent know the Cowboys limited options but way beyond that is one irrefutable fact, they know the Joneses need to look good. What if they play hardball with Prescott, take a chance at drafting his replacement and they come up snake eyes? We're talking about a team that relies more on luck than skill to find a QB. If not for Payton being there and Elway out bidding them in a trade, we might be wishing we were CLE and DET fans.
Y'all can talk all ya want about Booger being this great businessman but he's a crappy negotiator because he breaks the first cardinal rule of negotiation, never, NEVER, tell the other party what you're thinking. LMAO, he and his idiot son tell everyone.
This is what I think happened and part of it I know. The younger magpie went out there shooting his mouth off without really thinking it through, that's the part I know. Once they sat down and started calculating just how much they would have committed to the O side of the ball and the ultimate effect on the D side, the part they were trying to build, they freaked. Add to that 21M to one D player. This team could have the highest payroll on the O side of the ball and not crack the top 10 in O. Unlike Booger's ridiculous comment about Romo, I do not buy players play better the better they're paid. They could be paying for a Rolls Royce O and watching a Dodge one play.
Damn me, I wish this wasn't my team because I'd really like to watch these two aholes flame out.
