The only wrench to all of this is the DIrect TV court case. If they get stuck paying that judgement, the cap is going to have to decrease or at least not increase for a while.
That’s what I thought but I found out the salary cap is strictly based on NFL revenues so the penalties will come out of the leagues pocket books. But the owners will certainly try and use it as an excuse to keep salaries in check.

Like I said in the 'talks are positive' thread, what the hell does that even mean? There are no "talks". There are offers and counter offers.

Saying "talks are upbeat" is the equivalent of saying your blind date has a good personality.
Making offers and counter offers is talking. Jeez some of you.

LOL. These are first offers, bound to be rejected. Dak will think he’s lowballed and so will CeeDee. The latter’s agent will counter and JJ et al will accept. France will counter for Dak with some $60 million dollar amount, then the talks will “stall” and Dak will play out his contract. That’s what I think will happen.
I’ve never seen someone so confused about what’s going on.

You wish. I just know that there was never any hang up, uncertainties, back and forths, speculation in the media, etc., about negotiations that occurred between Jerry and the last two franchise QBs the team had.

Here's My Prediction Guys.

Dak - not getting done this season, door open but most likely gone in FA, we all know.
CeeDee - $36.6 m/yr , 4 yr (first signing)
Parsons - $38.8 m//yr, 4 year, next off season
Ferguson - 3 year 24.7 per. sooner than expected.. They love this dude.
T. Smith - 4 yr unknown $$'s . They love Tyler and it may get done near/same time as Fergy
D. Bland - 3 yr unknown $$'s, wrapped similar time with Fergy/T.Smith.

Just a guess.
Interesting. Ok I’ll go. My prediction is as follows. I’m not saying I want this to happen but I’m basing this off of Jerry’s past behavior.

This is my bold prediction:
Dak- 4 years, 62 million APY, 100-150 guarantee, NTC intact, no FT clause
CD- 5 years 36 million APY, 75-100 guarantee
Micah- 5 years, 40 million APY 80-100 guarantee

We lose Bland, Ferguson, and Tyler to FA. Jerry and Stephen will use Dak, CD and Micah as their grandiose FA signings and justification to not sign anyone else.

My further prediction if this happens is:
2024- we “hang around the rim” maybe be fringe playoff team if everyone stays healthy.
2025-2028ish- our roster continues to deteriorate, Dak, CD and Micah become dinged up and less effective and we don’t sniff the playoffs. I predict we’ll be a 4-6 win team.

Stopped reading.
If you don’t think half the people here think that he’s a horrible quarterback you are really special. Because half the people here thinks he’s no good. And then there’s your side who thinks he’s a top three quarterback.

You can stop reading all you want and you can throw that line out there all you want if you don’t understand that those groups exists, again you’re something special

I hope it’s not a substance issue that has your brain foggy all the time. Although, that might be better than the real reason.

Is that your reply? Just insults? Says a lot.

Insults??? Nope, not my style Amber.
Everyone else insults you, I tell you why they do. And I ask questions that you refuse to answer.
Looks like insulting me is your style.

I'm not saying don't give Dak an extension. But why do it now? What's the hurry? Thay have until mid March of next year to get it done. Why would you do it now? It makes no sense.

Because using it as an excuse not to utilize free agency they believe helps quell the angry fan base.
