Josh Allen's nugget on Dak's $60M contract

That is exactly what many of us have been saying. Sometimes I wonder about the integrity of those who keep screaming "GET WHAT YOU CAN."

Don't get me wrong , that would make sense for someone making 50 grand a year who was offered 60 grand a year. For that much money? It's generational wealthy either way, so exactly what is that extra 5 mil going to bring you? I'd take the lesser amount and have a better chance at a super bowl, and w/ no hesitation.
I think for some players the contract amount represents a certain positional respect among teammates and peers. How many times we heard players feel disrespected by a team's offer even knowing it was more than they would ever spend?

As for Dak looking back, I now have a different perspective. I will keep it close to the vest for now but he could easily signed for $4-5M less and STILL been the highest-paid QB but used the "looking out for brotherhood card" to get every penny.

He's the Dallas Cowboys QB, so I will always root for him to be the best coz it win games but....
 
Dak and above average should never go in the same sentence. Apparently you have no clue what you see when he plays. I was pulling for Dak when he first came into the league despite what I knew was coming. Dak defines the word average except when he gets in tight situations. Then he’s as bad a QB who has ever played the game. You Dak homers favorite word is “hater”. It has nothing to do with hate and all about his level of play over the last 9 years. You can’t see it because you’re blinded by your love for him or you just don’t know what you’re seeing. Always going to those stats.
I am not saying Dak is great, but statistics say otherwise..... but I guess those are fake statistics right?
 
.....not incomprehensible to me. I told facts about the contract. Josh Allen got more guaranteed money......not a problem. Josh Allen got new contract via extension.....not a problem. Josh Allen been previously paid 1st round money vs 4th round money.....not a problem. $5M per year not a problem to Josh Allen.....not a problem. Again....Josh Allen got more guaranteed money......not a problem. What is incomprehensible to you?......Josh talking like he sacrificed?
I think anytime we as fans hear a player SAY they are taking less money or leaving money on the table for the team and/or teammates..........draws a positive/wow type reaction. Even if that player isn't truly sacrificing much.

Ok.....or if the player isn't really sacrificing at all (you wrote it).......which makes me wonder why should player portray a "it doesn't really matter" approach, if it isn't that? or player is portraying something that the player isn't actually portraying? That's funny to me. But for all the supporters........guaranteed money is the importance.....and I have no problem with Josh Allen's contract other than the "smoke & mirror" stuff he spewed. Kudos for Josh Allen and his guaranteed money.....the most important element to a player's contract.
 
I cannot figure out how to link it but pro football talk has an interesting article about so-called new money and then reality Allen’s contract is more than Dan’s in average per year.
