Prescott has all the leverage to ask for at least $60M per year

They will hit this thread any moment now.

One already is going full steam ahead, preaching to the Dak masses. I don't know his name but his initials are Rockport.

You can post that over and over and over, it does not change anything because he is lying to your face and you eat it up like a hungry dog.

How do you know? You don’t so quit with the insults and we’ll see how it plays out.

Well, Dak sure has some severe leverage in this case.

What greater leverage in terms of skills does Dak have that someone like Colin didn’t have? Colin helped take a team to a Super Bowl. He was better than a number of starters in the league. Still no team signed him. That tells you that this idea of player leverage is just an illusion. This can happen even in non-professional sports related companies too. Have you heard of people being blacklisted from Hollywood? Why do you think the NFL has a player’s union? The reason such companies can do so is there is a limited supply of lucrative positions that are in high demand and in the case of the NFL it’s even harder for a player to have leverage because it is effectively a monopoly.

Oh, I don't know, but you do? Post it again and again and then one more time, it seems to make you happy that he lies right to your face and you eat it up.

These two things are not the same. Jerry screwed up the last Dak contract with no trade clause, no franchise tag and a balloon payment in 2024. If they don’t come to an agreement before the seasons over, Dak could walk and the Cowboy get absolutely nothing for him. You’re talking about some kind of conspiracy theory which may or may not be fact.

Jerry is going to hold out until it's $70M/ year for Dak.

No doubt.

Who cares if Dak walks away without any compensation? That is some weak-*** leverage if any at all. Also, I didn’t give those examples as conspiracy fodder. I gave them as examples that leverage is an illusion when you’re the employee. No company has to hire you at all, especially for lucrative and high demand/low supply positions. Unless you are phenomenally distinguished, there are plenty of people out there who can do the same thing.

Oh, man, the Church of Dak loves this post I bet.

There you go, looking to argue. Can't keep it shut a d just talk about the topic....and the people wonder why both sides are always arguing.

I think there are plenty of guys that could get the Cowboys to the Wild Card round and puke it away for WAY cheaper than Dak costs....

I don’t think he’ll get $60M but he’ll top Burrow and Lawrence. Somewhere in the $56-$57M range.

 

[rnr_honeybadger]

Why would he ask for 60 million a year when he said he doesn’t care about money?

He is going to ask to be made the highest paid player in the NFL and will again demand a shorter contract for another bite at the apple.

........so Mahomes makes less than him. Already has 3 Golden Tickets.

My take. He wants $65 mill? Earn it. No stats! ..............give us some play trinkets.

In other words. You're arguing.

You're always arguing, which is why I couldn't pass up the softballs you just lobbed over the plate. You of all people chastising someone for arguing. lol

Who said that if you speak a lie loud enough and long enough it will be believed?
Someone is trying that in this thread
