which makes it perfect for the player. I don't understand your statement? Would you like to go back tot he days when players sold insurance in the offseason?
How do you think the owners handle contract negotiations when it is to their benefit?
Dang, he represents some big names in the NFL
Is that number career earnings up to 9/2019?
44mil a year seems really high.
What are you talking about? They don't negotiate? That's their job.This is CAA.
Same agency that handles Tom Cruise, Jennifer Lawrence, Matthew McConaughey, George Clooney, Beyonce, Tom Hanks, JJ Abrams, Jeff Bridges, Jessica Chastain, Seth McFarlane, Jennifer Aniston, and a thousand others.
They don't negotiate.
More than enough money to get his ear fixed

As bad as that may sound, I'd love it!Todd is da man!!!
With Prescott, he has found himself in a world of aggravation and discomfort and will register a loss with this client.

This goes back to Stephen Jones' quote. With the cap rules, no matter how much a player makes, the owners win. Their player cost is fixed by the CBA. One player making more just means others make less and as a result, it pits players against each other and against the fanbase.
The only skin that the owners have in the game is winning. The more they pay an individual, the worse the team is.
True... but it doesn't help a team at all due to the salary cap in place. Star players holding out to get a much bigger piece of the pie only hurts the team from being able to keep a playoff competitive team in place. Simple economics.
(In bold ^^^): You left out "contract decisions and how they affect the team" when it comes to the front office, hence why Jerry and Stephen are playing hardball with Dak. You won't find a bigger Dak fan around here than me, but giving in for the latest offer is not going to hurt Dak AT ALL. Plus, if he continues playing well as expected, he will be able to ask for a 2nd big contract 4 years from now while he will still be in his prime (age of 30). You've got to give a little in order to win big now and keep on winning big in the near future.Dak Prescott is not in charge of talent acquisition. When he signed a 4th round contract he got paid 4th round money.
He now has an opportunity to make money more in line with his worth. That is how it goes. Not a single player on any team should be taking deals unless it is some really rare circumstance that benefit the team more than the player.
Like every other player before him and after him, when Dak's time is up his ability to make money on this level will be over.
Again I am not a big fan of the guy and feel he is not worth the money he is going to be paid but I think he 100% deserves to paid as much as he can get because that is the system and this is his chance to get paid. You never know what will happen tomorrow so you have to get every penny you can.
Talent acquisition and team building is for the front office and the coaches.

Bull****. It’s ignorant to put all the blame on Dak.
Those are handles for negotiations!More than enough money to get his ear fixed
