Adult Language Night Cap: Shannon Sharpe | Best Deal for Dak - Both sides have to feel Screwed Over!

[Qcard]

I never want a QB to settle for less but this is a salient point.

 

[America's Cowboy]

$47.5 million / year should be more than enough. Yes, Dak can get paid $8 - $10 million more / year somewhere else, but he won't get the extras ($$$$) off the field that he gets by simply wearing the Star on his helmet.

Stop being greedy, Dak. Jerry caved in and gave you what you wanted 3 years ago. Now it's your turn to return Jerry and the Cowboys the favor. If not, ...... BYE!!!

The owners, collectively, decide what a quarterback is worth. The player doesn’t dictate his compensation. The agents don’t dictate the compensation. The owners and their current circumstances, real or perceived, set the amount a player will be paid. The NFLPA’s counter to the owners’ demand for a salary cap is the specter of free agency. Jerry Jones is very aware of what Prescott could likely get as a free agent. Prescott’s agent, Todd France, is aware of that amount, as well. France and Jones both know the income potential outside of football activities the Cowboys’ starting quarterback can expect to enjoy. There exists an amount Dak Prescott will sign a contract with the Dallas Cowboys. Both parties have a general idea what that amount is. If and when Jerry Jones wants to pay it he will. The alternative to signing Dak is simply signing another quarterback to be QB1. “more than enough” is a fan’s perspective. It has nothing to do with the business of NFL football. The players face 32 ownership groups who are dedicated to “no amount of money is enough”. It is prudent to go to the negotiating table with the exact same philosophy.

The Jones felt like they got screwed in the last deal, especially with the length of the contract. Dak can be replaced.

 

[Bagman]

QBs without a winning pedigree shouldn't be holding anyone hostage for mega dollar deals. $40 million dollars a year for Prescott should be more than enough. Any more than that is just player and agent greed.

 

[Ranching]

LOL! I can picture you saying that on your prom night! I kid!!

 

[khiladi]

Please Dak be greedy and be gone.. we don’t care where you go, but you gotta get the hell out of here..

 

[Cowfan75Lives]

The fans are the ones that are screwed.

Ehhh...therefore only Mahomes and Stafford needs apply??

Dak Haters definition of winning pedigree needs to be investigated

 

[LysleE]

Dak is not irreplaceable, as are most players in the NFL; the Jones’ paid Dak to be a difference-maker, but thus far he has failed in that regard despite the simplification of the offense that requires him to do less.
Therefore, time to move on from Dak; use this season to get TL ready to play in 2025 and identify a QB to acquire in next year’s draft to develop.
The smart teams do this; the Cowboys were content to do no strategic planning at QB and never developed a succession plan…other than the acquisition of TL.

 

[ATXSRT]

If we cave and give him $50+ million a year I cannot be a fan of his any longer. It's all about ego now for him. We cannot field a championship team with mediocre QB play while simultaneously paying them top dollar.

2-5 in the playoffs. There are plenty of guys that have had more success.

There will be QBs available early in this year's draft.

Do you realistically expect him to sign a contract for less than he would otherwise get from another team? He should go out and do his job to the best of his ability. If Jerry Jones wants Dak to remain with the Cowboys he’ll offer Dak a contract that makes that happen. Jerry Jones is not going to offer Dak Prescott more than he thinks Dak is worth. Dak Prescott is not going to agree to a contract for less than he thinks he’s worth. Do you see how the system works. And your threat to stop being a Cowboys fan is disingenuous. Everyone here at CZ knows you’ll continue to be a fan or you never were one to begin with.

True, which is why Jerry is finally putting his foot down about overpaying his players...even if it hurts the team and costs a season or two or three. Gotta give Jerry some respect for finally standing firm against overpaying.

Man, I feel for you as when the chickens come home on Dak those emoils are going to be crying.

 

[mldardy]

These media guys (Stephen A Myth, Skiiiiip, Shtannon Tharpe, Ocho Stinko) love to defend Dak when it comes to money but are the first to trash him when his on the field performances in big games stink. DO NOT pay Dak, I am and have been ready to move on from him. He is what he is. He is a deer in headlights in big games and will not get any better. I have zero confidence in this guy in a playoff game.

Please let this ridiculous contract that this team was pressured into and caved run out after this year and draft a QB in the 1st round next year. In reality I want the Jones to move on too but that won't happen so the next best thing is letting Dak go.

GM Jethro screwed himself in the last deal and did nothing to prevent it from happening again.
