If Dak wanted out then france and Dak would have had no problem with saying it.
There could be other reasons he wasn’t in a big hurry about it.
1 - Maybe he don’t feel wanted after we picked up Dalton. They low ball him one year.
2 - Maybe france told Dak not to worry about it because JJ always gets deal done and caves. Just hold off. Then at the end notice that Dak got involved and got numbers he would sign for. So in theory they know that they can come up with a acceptable offer and him wanting to sign it tells me he wants to be here. I do think after they knew that it was to late that they went ahead and started negotiating for next year. Something like ok Dak we know next year the numbers go up a few million a year so let’s keep this structure next year for a contract and just raise certain numbers like the yearly average. Next year there will be no problem coming up with a deal.
3 - Maybe Dak wasn’t worried because he knew he was making 31 million this year and 37 next year. He knows now they have a deal in place. He won’t get paid 37 next year. It will be less but he will have a 50 million dollar signing bonus check to cash and spend.
4 - Dak already got on social media and posted his kool picture of him in A Cowboys hat and said he was happy and proud to be here. He didn’t have to say anything. He is used to dealing with this media crap. He knows what’s going on, we don’t, neither does the media, so we speculate.
5 - I think france is bad for Dak. And in the future he knows dealing with SJ isn’t the same as dealing with JJ. SJ won’t cave as easy. SJ will wait till the end and make a call and deal with the player directly and give in more with them than france. I don’t think the Joneses like france. And I think france has cost Dak some money.
