Even if he balled out in TC— Dak is starting this year. They aren’t paying him 55 mil to ride the pines
Except the team has $107 million of dead cap in 2024-26.
Romo got one of worst extensions in football history after multiple injuries along with his bad back he signed an extension that made him the highest paid player in football. Why do you think the media joked about Romo being Jerry’s long lost son. Romo named one of his boys Jonesy for a reason.
I think you drank too much chocolate milk. I was asking about captain
Tony signed big extensions in 2008 and 2013. Contracts were much different back then they are now. You need to look at the contracts compared to the salary cap back then as well.
Dak is owed $29 million (not $55 million) for this season, $0 guaranteed. Trey is owed $4.5 million on the fifth day of training camp and $1 million for the balance of the season. Both are free agents in March of 2025. If either one prevails as the starting quarterback for 2025 they’re going to think they deserve to be paid monstrous money. If Dak signs elsewhere, which seems likely at this point, Lance’s agent will negotiate for significant compensation.
I was looking at cap hits and it looks like 2007 (6th) and 2010 (8th) were the only season Romo was a ever top 10 cap hit among QBs.
Will that hold true if Zeke is the leading rusher on the team?
In your special world, is the quarterback ever at blame?
I think there's a very real chance, if Lance balls out in preseason and the Cowboys are like 2-7 or 3-8 going into week 10, that Lance gets a shot.
Dak and Mayfiled should get the same deal? Really?
It would be lower than 55 yes but how much lower I’m not sure. Especially if he’s projected to be a starter.
Fact check:
Wrong they won't make the playoffs...... Crying over being in the playoffs 5 and the last eight years will be worse when they cant make it at all.. The only way a $10 million quarterback gets in the playoffs is with a strong run game and a ridiculously great defense...
The only way they **** up is if they actually negotiate with him. Don't offer him anything. Let him go to another franchise, continue inflating his stats against bad teams and look like a deer in headlights anytime he plays a team worth anything.
Where do you get those figures? The Cowboys will have about $25 million of dead money if they move on from Dak next year. And with the cap going up every year that hit is less than it looks. In fact they have upwards of $100 million of AVAILABLE cap space in 2025 even factoring in this dead cash.
Of course not.
Huh?
"No, I'm not trying to be the highest paid necessarily," Prescott said, via ESPN's Todd Archer, when asked if he wanted to be the highest-paid quarterback in the NFL. "We'll wait until the negotiations begin and obviously want to put this team in the best situation."
