PFT: Dak wants to play into his 40s

Lol! Mountain will be old enough to drink, by then.

Did you swallow it?

No she did....oh wait we are not talking about the same thing. Nevermind

Why is this news? What player does NOT want to play as long as his body will let him? QBs don't take near the beating they once did so it's not even a big deal for one to last into his 40's these days. The question is whether he'll be good enough at that age to get a job in the NFL. I have always said that because he came into the league so raw Dak had much further to go to reach his full potential than most QBs coming out of college. It does seem like he's putting it all together this year. He seems to be seeing the field the best he ever has and his ball placement is on point. He was even motivated by the torn hamstring to work on his body to the point where he can run again. That all bodes well for the Cowboys.

Can you blame him...that would be another 2 contracts...that's got to be worth at least $300mm -$500mm

I was thinking about this the other day.

Dak could be here for another decade.

I don't wanna think about his next contract.

Im sure Mountain has a lengthy history of pounding down wine coolers and Boones Farm.

Let’s Go!!!!!!

I do think if he keeps playing the way he has this season it will cause us to use these extra picks on other players instead of seizing this rare opportunity to go up and get our next franchise QB.

You trust Jethro to knock it out of the park and find your next franchise qb with one pick? Good luck on that

 

[diamonddelts]

Let’s Go!!!!!!

To common law purgatory. No rings. Just a promise.

 

[TNCowboy]

And I want to own the Cowboys.

Highly unlikely. Tom Brady is the extreme rare exception. Look no further than Rodgers, who is 41, and hasn't been great in 3 or 4 years.

A few notes from his contract..........notice we will likely guarantee 2027 salary the 5th league day of 2026. On other words, its very possible Jerry will extend him in 2027

Interestingly........if you recall, before his final season, Romo was saying he could play another 3-5 years and Jerry believed him.

 

[BoysForLife]

Guy has missed significant time in 3 of the past 5 seasons due to injury

And he thinks he'll last another decade?

You can't hit a home run if you don't swing the bat, but you can strike out.

 

[noshame]

Perhaps he should just focus on finishing one season. Healthy.

 

[BHendri5]

Let’s Go!!!

 

[Hawkeye0202]

His body will have other plans.

Remember, you said he couldn't run anymore after last season's hamstring injury...........

 

[Hawkeye0202]

The way he's looking right now he might could do it.

I think we are seeing just how confident he is feeling these days ..........keep in mind, he's only saying this is his intent.
