Per Fisher: Opinions inside the Star split on Dak's financial value

[noshame]

Dak has one shot to get another big contract. And that's hoping somebody out here is a sucker like Jerry was.
No trade clause or not if somebody was interested, they would have contacted Jerry by now.

The split is probably between our newest advisor Jimmy Johnson and the entire front office.

Dak is a 60m$ player because that’s what he’d get if he left. So you either pay him that or he leaves with no franchise tag due to his contract forbidding it.

When Kirk Cousins left Washington around Dak’s age, he became the highest paid player in NFL history. There’s no reason that wouldn’t happen to Dak

Let's find out if you're correct.

 

[CowboyoWales]

So Slappy Sr and Slappy Junior plan on letting Dak just play out his final year gaining zero return on him after the year when he signs with another team? Brilliant!!!!! Cutting edge GM stuff. Way to show the other 31 GM's how its done fellas.

Well that's what happens when your incompetent GM capitulates to every demand 'of his guy' only to be let down....despite restructuring his contract to give him weapons.
The deliberation in the FO mirrors the fanbase concerns....Great QB, but paying him top dollar (ON HIS TERMS) is difficult to win with.

 

[CowboyoWales]

No decision needs to be made until we find out which teams take themselves out of the QB market. If Dak is insisting on $60m then let him play out 2024 and see whether he's 2022 Dak, 2023 Dak or Bully Dak....its a gamble for ALL SIDES of the debate.

So let him play out 2024. You're already putting him in the top 2 QB bracket, if he performs in 2024 Jerry will have to pay up and i'm sure with that success, adoration and commerciality then Dak will want to stay on Dallas....if Dak doesn't perform we may be wishing him well and s******ing at the team paying the $60m.

Nobody was willing to bid on him.

Lamar was never a free agent and other teams are not allowed to make contact with him. So how do we know what other teams would have paid?

 

[Hawkeye0202]

Exactly.........both sides put all chips in the middle and let it play out.

He was tagged and unlike Dak the Ravens put the non exclusive tag meaning his agent could talk to other teams. Atlanta fans are still upset that they didn’t try to sign him. This really tells you what Dak is thought of around the league that the Cowboys had to put the exclusive tag on him.

 

[jujoboys]

So, you are saying is a liar. Are you speculating?

I am just basing my statement off his history of reporting garbage about Dallas constantly. I can’t remember a time when he actually reported breaking news about the Cowboys that was correct. All the free agents he constantly links Dallas to every year and none of them ever come to fruition. The guy just wants clicks.

 

[pitt33]

just let the stiff play out this year.

I hope another team signs him. Regardless of cap implications.

And to his next team a line from the movie TAKEN comes to mind…

“Good Luck”

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

value as a QB? or value as in Jersey sales and helping the bottom line. those two aren't the same. Dak was #5 in Jersey sales last year. the question is will he remain top 10 or top 20 in 2024.

 

[DasTex]

I'll take the 3rd round comp pick....

Do you remember why he was given the non-exclusive tag? Lamar was demanding a Watson-like 100% guaranteed contract and wasn't willing to be flexible and coz of this, several teams lost interest. Here's why Blank said the Falcons didn't sign him........ My point is, comparing Dak's situation ( no one would bid on him ) to Lamar's isn't the same. Dak won't be asking for a fully guaranteed contract.

 

[khiladi]

The narrative about Jerry not providing help to the pretender are to the point folks making it are either suffering from amnesia or are flat out lying….

Canning Dez
No competition in practice
Majority of picks spent on offense
Amari Cooper
Gallup Contract
Cook contract
multiple OCs
Dumbed down offense
Record setting contract coming off 7 TOs, 1 win and 4 losses and zero accomplishments
Smith draft and extending Martin

 

[Bowdown27]

We universally kill fishers reporting normally im curious to see if that stands here with this subject

Agreed. We all believe fisher is full of it but this I actually believe for once.

Stop saying dumb stuff. If Dak was a 60mm player, a team would be calling for his services. They aren’t. Just use the smallest bit of common sense before pressing post reply.

 

[khiladi]

And how did those teams do last year??
Only lamars team made playoffs and got to the afc champ game.

It is counter productive to pay a qb that much. Only mahomes is worth the 50 mil .

If any of these QBs were playing in Dallas, outside maybe Hurts, they would have won a SB by now or competed for one.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

No team will call for his service until he's available.......The Cowboys have shown no interest in trading him at this time.

Before start of last year, he looked like another running QB who can't stay healthy and might need more work on the pass game. Wins the MVP and takes his team to the conference championship and were legit SB contenders the whole way. Kudos to him. He bet on himself and won.
