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

[starfan1]

Triggered again lol!

Not at all defending Dak, but a lot of the blame also goes to Jerry for caving in.

Or too lazy to do what was best for the position and the Cowboys. Instead took the easy way out and gave Dak what he wanted.

 

[beware_d-ware]

Let's flip this around. If you're playing for the Jones boys and you know you won't have a chance to win anything, why not hold out for the biggest payday that you can? Why cut Jerry a break so that he can stiff Rico Dowdle and pocket that change?

[Proof]

Allen will take a little less if it helps the team, dak wants the biggest bag possible even if he looks worse because of it

on the heels of winning the mvp no less

 

[Califan007]

To be fair, he also has Hailee Steinfeld lol…that makes up for a lot in life.

 

[Proof]

Yea and Allen has made way more money also 1st round pick compared to a 4th

true. dak and his career quarter billion earnings have to scrap and scrape for every penny

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

I would never do it. 5 million gets you nothing……5 million can’t even give you Rico Dowdle. Dak did what was best for the players not the Cowboys. Josh Allen is enabling his teams crappy mismanagement of the cap. He take less and they make him work harder.

Good point.

But, but.....Dak came in 2nd in the 2023 season.

Not to mention that Dak probably gets a lot more in endorsements as well…

 

[Risen Star]

In other words, Josh Allen is a POS scumbag.

 

[cmoney23]

Interesting.........

Allen came in as a first round pick and made multiple millions from day one.

Dak came in and played for thousands and I think wants to tax the Cowboys for it. Just my opinion.

 

[tomsanders921]

If I remember correctly, Parsons said the same thing in not having to be the highest-paid pass rusher.

He may have said that. But I'd be willing to bet this thing drags out until we see the headlines saying highest paid non QB ever.

Sure, but we're fans not the players. Every fan should want a player with Allen's mindset

 

[TwistedL0g1k]

Blame breakdown for Dak's contract & cap hit:

Dak: 0%

Jerry 100%

 

[garyo1954]

Qak will be better this year. If you don't believe it just wait til he gets on the podium.

He'll tell you himself. He's in the best shape of his life too.

Yeah but they don’t. Most players take all they can. So him taking 5 million is pointless.

In all fairness the Jones have shown that they never go all in so why not just get paid? Had he went for $55 million they would still be doing low level contracts etc….

Apparently no one told him about the fraternity

Nor the "Brotherhood"
