Depends on what your definition of big is.

Nate said 13-15 million per year max is enough for Dak.

 

[slick325]

The Jones boys will disagree I suspect.

 

[Risen Star]

He's not worthy of a mid-level contract either.

He's not even a top 20 QB in the NFL.

 

[Runwildboys]

Wow, now that's putting it bluntly.

 

[Risen Star]

Nate said 13-15 million per year max is enough for Dak.

That would be insanity.

 

[lk8701]

That would be insanity.

I agree. I wouldn't pay more than 5 million per year.

Nate says he’s a 13-15 mil QB
That’s probably right but that’s not the market
Avg QB’s are gonna get 20 mil or more and that’s just what the market is
QB’s are not paid in tiers where an avg guy get a percentage less than a elite guy. Maybe they should but till something is changed in the CBA to limit what any one player can get the QB is gonna get over paid. Agents love it but the other players shouldn’t because an avg LB or CB is gonna end up getting less in the long run
But the market is the market and Dak is gonna get more than he should just like cousins did and most others do
There are so few elite QB’s and teams know it’s impossible to win in today’s game without atleast an avg QB

I agree. I wouldn't pay more than 5 million per year.

You can’t get a viable backup for 5 mil

 

[Captain-Crash]

I hate Nate. Who's Nate.

I support Dak, he sucks.

I’m not big on Dak but he is about the middle of the pack to me. The real question is can he win games for you. He has because of the talent around him but he also is making the same mistakes this year as last
The problem you have is there is no better option in FA and you don’t have a top pick
The bigger problem is if you pay him what the market is, can you keep the talent around him and that may not be possible for long

 

[cowboyskid29]

Sounds about right

 

[Tangle_Foot]

I know Dr Scholl's turned him down as the spokesman for wart remover

Never loved Nate as much as I do right now..... Truth!

 

[Sydla]

That would be insanity.

Get your early reservation at the local mental hospital.

What leverage would Dak Prescott have? Who the hell but the Cowboys is going to sign him to a significant long term deal? They will be negotiating against themselves. There is no market. That front office is the only one who believes he can play.

 

[Captain-Crash]

truth hurts, but I support dak, even though he sucks.

 

[Runwildboys]

This would be a great opportunity for Dak to prove he's a leader, and take the low priced contract that would help the team surround him with the talent he needs around him.

 

[ChuckA1]

Part of Dak's problem this year has definitely been the OL. That said, a top rated QB should be able to carry his team when all else fails. I just dont think Dak is that guy.

Dak doesn't suck, he's just not a top 10 QB right now.

I suspect there is more of a market than you think
And I’m not a Dak lover
It’s just the lack of options teams have that keeps avg QB’s as starters and gets them paid huge money
