Prescott new contract projection

[MountaineerCowboy]

Jerry would never have the guts to do what Denver is doing with Wilson.

Maybe Dak should reach out to Troy Aikman and find out how he over came a bad OLine, no running game and a defense that could not stop the run to win three SB's.

I am sure Troy's infinite wisdom will surely be able to help Dak make a SB run.

 

[DoctorChicken]

That is way too much.

QB contracts these days are either make them the highest paid guy or let them walk. There’s very little in between.

There is a contract constructor. You can do it for Dak.

Unless I am doing it wrong or the site is just set up incorrectly, its virtually impossible to get his cap hit next year to be low. His existing signing and restructure bonus plus any prorated signing bonus ends up being a big cap hit before you even get to base salary or roster bonuses.

They cant afford to pay Dak mega millions in 2024.

Their 2024 cap is already underwater.

That's one of the reasons he could be cut.

Not sure they would cut him outright, but if negotiations go south again this time, it might be mutually beneficial for Dak to waive his no-trade clause to go to a team willing to pay his asking price. He gets new money sooner, and Dallas gets cap relief + draft capital. They would be terrible next year, but Jerry has done dumber things.

That's correct. Cap relief from a new deal might end up being around 5-15 million max.

Hell yeah, get that money Dak!!! Leggo Cowboys!

 

[CWR]

Don't forget about CeeDee. Chiefs will make a serious run at him

We won't even let him hit the market.

 

[BoyzBlaster]

Sounds like Christmas for Eagles and Niners fans.

 

[Rockport]

Agree.

He's a fraud.

 

[jgboys1]

No. Our 2024 cap is already negative. $13.8 million in the hole.

Don't you know the cap is a myth? At least this is what people on this board are always telling me.

 

[Kwyn]

When was the last time a free agent QB tested this "market"? Owners have been negotiating with themselves for years, driving up the price with each contract as if every starting QB is the same. The last one got 45 so the next one gets 50.

I'd love to see QBs actually hit the market - let's see which ones are truly valued more than others as free agents. Of course, that doesn't happen because teams are afraid they'd lose their guy to someone else and have to start over.

Lamar did it. He didn’t even have an agent.

I just saw that they're benching him, that's crazy. Their problems go beyond Wilson

 

[Gonzomandela01]

IDK how a team is supposed to win when one player eats all that cap money, even if it's the QB and even if he is playing well. Ridiculous.

 

[J12B]

Not exactly. The absolute lowest you can get Dak's 2024 cap hit with an extension is around $36 million before signing bonus, which ended up prorating to $13.2 million per year with his current deal.

A new deal might get his cap hit down to somewhere in the $40-50 million range next year, but that's it.

Where are you getting that information? They can convert his salary to a bonus thus lowering the cap hit for 2024. Can even do that for 2025. Add in a couple of void years and there will be a lot of cap flexibility.

Jones would not equate Prescott and Wilson's performance level as equal, so guts is incorrect in this circumstance. It's skull, not abdomen.

One thing quarterback critics continually do is substitute their thinking for whatever is bouncing through cobwebs inside Jones' cranium. Jones thinks he has a top five NFL quarterback. His assessment is not the same a critic's assessment. The two are usually not remotely close to each other in most cases.

Why would he entertain benching his quarterback for another quarterback already on his roster, whom he does not think is the better option? It is completely okay to disagree with Jones but expecting him to do something he would not do is a totally different matter.

They’re not just benching him. They’re going to eat the dead cap to cut him.

They aren’t even eliminated from the playoffs yet either.

We’re talking about a QB that’s accomplished MUCH more than Dak also.

They’re not just benching Wilson. They’re going to cut him and take the dead cap hit.

You got "they're" right.

Okay?
