Machota doesn't understand Jerry's thinking.

Perhaps Jones does not believe he could restructure x-number of players contracts enough to extend Prescott comfortably to avoid cutting four players.

There is no real benefit to extending him now cap hit wise for 2023.

Any new deal would add the new prorated bonus to this year. Dallas has 8.9mil in cap space.
Prescott last contract got 66mil SB, which over 5 years(inlcuding 2023) his the additional cap hit would be 13.2mil.
And since then, contracts only have gone up.

You know, for someone who some observers say Jones will not extend Prescott for whatever reason (acquiring Trey Lance for instance), he sure does talk about doing so. A lot.

There's really no one left to restructure.
Pollard's deal is a franchise tag at ~10mil. Then you got Armstrong (5mil base) with a 24 void year, Kearse 4.5mil etc...

Good answer Jerry.

Somehow this guy has actually made real sense with two comments in a row.

You don't know what you're talking about, John.

As an aside, what's up, bro? You stoked for the game Sunday night?

On the edge of my seat waiting for the Los Angeles Sparks vs the Seattle Sparks on Sunday.
You?

Let’s have a stacked team with a qb for under 10
Mil a year.

You called Willis 'John'. How rude! Apologize.

He has to. He gets asked about it a lot.

I can't think of one legitimate reason why an extension couldn't be done right now. Nor any financial or cap related reason that it make more sense to wait.

I translate Jerry's comments to mean, "I'm not sure I want to tie up future resources on this player, at this time".

 

[Vinnie2u]

Let me translate. We not go giving out 2 top of market value contracts for a player that’s not worth top of the market money.

The Cowboys Zone meltdown will be epic when Dak gets an extension.

Jones has terminal diarrhea of the mouth. It could mean exactly how you translated it. In my opinion, it means the extension will eventually happen. The only thing anyone, on the outside looking in, can do is wait-and-see what will actually happen.

Good answer Jerry.

It must be AI Jerry

 

[ShortRound]

We've surrounded the QB with talent, gotta win now.

Yea..as usually Jethro is responding to public perception and social media, etc.

There really is no Cap incentive to extend him until next year . He’s just trying to pacify the media and public pressure questioning if we will.

Obviously our intention is to extend him. That’s all this is about.
