Players bullying front office

[Silverz1972]

So is dak’s management looking at the zeke and tank deals and how they handle it and planning to do the same. Will we see the front office standing their ground this time and pushing back.

zeke you could say was the best rb in the league.
Lawrence you could make a case for top 3 at his position.
But dak? Not close at this point. And to want $40 million. $5 million more per year than any other qb is ridiculous.

 

[EST_1986]

Goes both ways

 

[Hawkeye0202]

Show me where Dak has said he wants $40M.......

 

[JoeKing]

Dak is much closer to the top of his position group than the OP gives him credit for. His career passer rating is tied for 4th among all active QBs.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

I wish you guys would quit acting like this is uncommon. This is free agency. Dak’s side wants the most he can get and Jerry’s side wants the least amount to spend. Why is this so foreign to you guys like it’s new?

And Zeke and Lawrence were not the best at their positions but you don’t have to be to get paid.

Good lord...

 

[rags747]

$33-34m to me seems to be fair #, will be interesting what the final # is.

Ya, why didn't haters complain over Romo's & Aikman's big payday?

Dak never said he wanted 40 mil and infact what we has said is that it was not about the dollar amount that was being offered but the language of the contract that he was trusting his agent to handle.

To your original point. Dak played the good soldier and came to work last season missing no preseason work or games and it apparently meant nothing to JJ and SJ. Zeke and DLaw played hard ball and got paid. 1 + 1 = 2......he has to do what he needs to do and based on recent history Dak needs to hold out until JJ and SJ proves us wrong.

Prescott is most likely asking for a higher guaranteed salary and the FO is looking for more years. They'll meet in the middle.

 

[John813]

Players should be grateful for whatever offer they receive.

How dare they ask for more guarantees or money. Don't they know Jerry really, really wants to win a superbowl! Take a discount for the betterment of the team and when you decline they can cut you asap.

WAST

he played the "good soldier" by simply coming to work and honoring the contract he was already under?

wow.

It's terrible how those mean ol' players are pushing Jerry and Stephen around.

The Joneses will be rich until the day the die, in large part due to players whose careers are short by comparison.

And that is why owners need to hold fast longer... Players get paid undeserved amounts of money cuz owners just pay it

Prescott has been taking a discount for 4 seasons.

When I was younger I used to think Im tired of making some a hole rich and started my own business. When I got up and running it wasnt like I anticipated and it was lot more work just to run the business. If it wasnt for Jerry and these other owners building the NFL up and buying these teams and advertising their product these players wouldnt be making the money they are making. Dak is replaceable! The Cowboys could draft another QB and he could be garbage and he would still sell Jerseys. These players are all pawns in a game where they were gifted talent. Jerry and the other owners are the ones who took out all the loans and risks of investing and working sleepless nights to get where he has a product that is self sustaining and growing on its own.

Exactly what I was thinking. I think the money is close enough but Dak wants a 3 year deal. So I see a 4 year (opt out at 3) 140 million. Arguing now over the guaranteed. Maybe 120 guaranteed and 60 up front. Will make him the biggest paid for a minute until mahomes is paid.
