Mort: Dak contact hold up? Cowboys want 5 years, Dak want 4

[CF74]

Can we go back to three years? That was better for everybody anyways....

 

[Qcard]

IF and IF this is true, BOTH needs be wup behind a tool shed........get over the foolishness and get the name deal sign.

It will take Jerry or is it Stephen Jr about 5 years to graduate....I see the 5yr logic

 

[Bohuntr97]

To help the team create some cap space to sign other player(s).

They also want that extra year to potentially spread out any signing bonus.

It's funny. For years, some people have said or implied Jerry Jones would finally see the light and dump Prescott. Now, in the midst of a contract negotiation, it appears Jones wants to commit to Prescott longer than Prescott wants to commit to Jones.

oh the irony

Dak's agent just wants to dip into that tv contract money sooner.

 

[Oneiros]

Are you serious? we could potentially lose cooper....over a year?

That was exactly my thought as well.

If that happens, then I'm over Dak.

 

[Oneiros]

Greedy in the sense that he forced the team to use their only franchise tag on him for this crap. Dak should have signed it, then ask for another contract after his 3rd year.

Exactly. I had always admired Dak in the past but this is ridiculous. Especially if we end up losing Amari because of it.

It wouldn’t be the first time Jerry’s doubled down on stupid

Perhaps but it would not be the first time certain members have continually commented Jones is a heck of a LOT MORE committed to Prescott than they are. And that Jones has been that way since early in the 2016 season.

The humor is not the difference in opinions. It is simply notable how Jones' opinion is routinely ignored. I find it funny only because the fact remains that the narcissist IS the general manager after all.

Makes sense.

If They used the non exclusive tag the whole thing could at least be reasoned out. But this thing is just putting off the inevitable

That is exactly what I was referring to. It should be apparent Jones would use the exclusive option over the non exclusive one because he is just that invested in Prescott.

I have been saying since 2016. Prescott will be in Dallas a lot more years than some people hope. Jones will make sure of it.

 

[America's Cowboy]

Exactly. I had always admired Dak in the past but this is ridiculous. Especially if we end up losing Amari because of it.

Thankfully, Amari is getting resigned by the Cowboys as we speak.

 

[Kaiser]

Thankfully, Amari is getting resigned by the Cowboys as we speak.

Exactly, if Dak's deal was this close they wouldn't have used the tag on him unless they were completely confident Cooper would sign.

 

[plymkr]

Thankfully, Amari is getting resigned by the Cowboys as we speak.

Well now if we lose Heath because of a year then Dak is going to have some explaining to do.

 

[bsbellomy]

Honestly I think 4 years is better for Dallas anyways. If McCarthy bombs, we will probably be in the market for a new QB and a rebuild.

Yeah but I bet that 5th year is basically a team option though.
