Jerry Jones might have been playing 4D chess delaying Dak Prescott extension

And your hate blinds you....the irony.

I dont speak for others, but i do not hate dak. But 3rd place mvp is not winning. With your attitude, no wonder cowboys cant be champions.

2nd place. Get your facts straight if you can.

 

[KingintheNorth]

WooHoo...2nd place. The Parade starts next Friday. Don't forget to wear your Dak Jersey. smfh

I will still be hung over from the 12-win parade.

I will still be hung over from the 12-win parade.

That parade comes after the Dak parade, he comes first, not the Cowboys.

I like 12 wins! Its just the following game i get a hangover from.

People need to stop the 'Dak has all the leverage" rubbish. Dak has no leverage right now. He's in the final year of his contract, so his dead money is the same regardless of whether he's on/off the roster for the up coming season.

Cowboys can save a considerable sum of money by NOT paying him his regular season salary in 2024 i.e. by cutting him.

Cowboys can also decide when to cut him. They can keep him on the roster until final cuts for no cost, which prevents Dak competing for a starting position on another team ala if he had been cut in the offseason.

Cowboys can also tell him to significantly reduce his 2024 salary on the day of final cuts.......or else get cut and get no salary (or reduced salary as backup on another tean). Nothing he can do about it.

Its entirely the Cowboys decision as to if they pay him this season and when they cut him if other cheaper or better options emerge during preseason.

They just paid him $5 million in March to keep him on the roster. The moment he’s cut he’s a free agent. The only thing Dak and France could imagine is better than becoming a free agent in eight months is to become a free agent in less than eight months. Dak’s personal net worth is $70 million. He’d probably appreciate time to consider the next step in his career without having to worry about some rookie left tackle failing a blocking assignment, being forced to be the rushing attack and the quarterback because the team hires has beens and midgets to be running backs, and having his prime target being the most disgruntled player in the league. He is not going to take a pay cut. He is not going to agree to a trade. He is going to show up and do as he’s told. He’s a wealthy young man with better things to do than put up with Jerry Jones.

Maybe just maybe Jerry has seen enough.. I won't forget Jerrys face in that playoff game against GB. He was visibly shaken and upset. The idea of him playing 4 dimensional chess is comical. If he knew anything about Chess he wouldn't of paid Dak last contract.

And Jerry is the one with a pot of gold. He who has the gold makes the rules.

When it comes to making money, Jerry is playing 3D chess. When it comes to being a an NFL GM, Jerry is playing checkers. And apparently he doesn’t understand checkers.

Someone actually reminded me of something important about this lawsuit: it won’t affect the cap at all no matter what happens even if they had to pay out 5x as much.

Allow me to explain. The salary cap is based on league revenue and the lawsuit would not affect revenue but just be an expense owners are forced to eat. Therefore there is no chance the salary cap goes down due to this unless it forces some change that lowers total revenue.

Even if salary cap goes down, Qbs will still make majority of it. Same thing different numbers. People will still be crying

 

[Momanpr100]

This multi-billion dollar lawsuit loss could be devastating for the league.

Good, I hope they all get what's coming for them.

 

[Hennessy_King]

Could Jerry be smarter than everyone else?

Jerry hasn’t been a GM in any meaningful sense since 2013.

Here's the problem with giving Dak the same contract as Lawrence. Two totally different situations.

Lawrence got a 5 year contract paying him 55M average salary. But when you add the 2 rookie years into the equation, his average cap hit is 41.6M over those 7 years.

If Dak gets the same contract, it's an average 55M a year +95 million over 6 years. He'd be a 61.6M cap average over 6 years. Same contract, big difference. That's why 3rd contracts are tougher.

This is accurate and brings closure to the entire thread.

Does the salary cap go down when teams have to fork out billions for a new stadium? No.

Did the salary cap go down when the concussion settlements happened? No.

The salary cap is a % of the gross revenue the league makes through ticket sales, tv deals, merchandising, etc. in a given year. Expenses have no impact on the salary cap. It is also not affected by what the owners or league are doing with their cut of the revenue, which would go to this lawsuit.

Jerry Jones is the Poster Child of why anybody over 75 should NEVER be in charge of anything Never heard so much useless idiotic commentary from anybody about the state of a team. Absolutely a joke as a GM. Never heard so many lies in my life-minus one
