Prescott new contract projection

[Cowboys5217]

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.

You're right. Aikman was notorious for 1 & done seasons.

Something will eventually be done for quarterback compensation but I highly doubt the same will happen to the position as it has with running backs. Quarterbacks remain a necessity in today's offenses. Running backs, or quality of running backs to be specific, have evolved into a luxury. It's apples and oranges.

I hear you but either they increase the cap significantly or create some type of soft cap hit for QBs. The market might just adjust itself when owners and GMs; realize they can not afford paying these guys this type of money and fielding a competitive team at the same time.

We all know you're probably hoping for this to happen in order to justify yourself and feel better about your takes against him. But will probably also move the goalposts to Baker Mayfield not being a good QB or Tampa not being that impressive of a team if the Cowboys beat Tampa in the playoffs.

Yeah same thing happened last year with Bradys Bucs.

 

[Romo_To_Dez]

Sounds like Christmas for Eagles and Niners fans.

The same Eagles he has a winning record over and most of the time has been able to put up points on their team no matter how good their defense is said to be.

 

[CWR]

How the hell are we going to afford to keep Lamb and Diggs?

As long as the hits are staggered and the cap continues to go up we will be fine. Just don't make the mistake of thinking we will bring in outside FAs.

 

[Cowboys5217]

We already have Diggs locked up.

It's going to come up again.

 

[CWR]

It's going to come up again.

Pretty sure it was a 4 year deal. With 3 remaining it's not a concern.

 

[Chasing6]

You're right. Aikman was notorious for 1 & done seasons.

I guess you could not comprehend what I wrote above. Troy had none of the above problems, which made his job as a QB much easier.

It's called complimentary football. The same thing McCarthy was talking about heading into this year and his commitment to running the ball.

How has that worked out, but I am sure that is Dak's fault.

 

[StarLord]

The part that really baffles me is that there will be people on this board who will cheer for him to get as much as he can.. as if that helps the team? Like as a fan who wants the best chance of winning a SB, shouldn't we all be cheering that any one individual on the team gets as little as possible so we can sign the best talent possible?

 

[DasTex]

Pass

 

[BoyzBlaster]

I'm sure that's what they think about when they look at their SB and NFCCG trophies they earned while Dak was sitting on his couch watching them

The same Eagles he has a winning record over and most of the time has been able to put up points on their team no matter how good their defense is said to be.

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.

Put in 10 years and see what you come up with

 

[Swagger]

I will hold my hands up and I'm sure there will be many people happy but if this happens then I'm done with the team. I couldn't put myself through wasting my time and effort supporting this team over several more years when the roster is largely in place to make a Superbowl run except at the QB position. Prescott continually comes up short against good teams in the big games - i.e., when it actually matters.

 

[1942willys]

We just have to hope the Cap goes up as projected.
Jerry always overpays our guys and underpays on FA's

Bold> If you are suggesting some sort of NBA/Larry Bird rule exclusively for quarterbacks, it is a possibility. I have advocated for the NFL doing something similar since the late 90s since it was easy to see where contracts, especially quarterback contracts, would eventually head.

That said, I will believe it will happen when I see it happen. Both the owners and players' union have made minor tweaks to their hard capped collective bargaining agreement structure over the years. Contracts for rookies is one example. However, big adjustments have not happened.

This three-decade long CBA framework has been supported by owners and union alike from day one. It maintains overall competitive balance leaguewide, ensuring relative parity. It does not prevent teams from sabotaging their rosters.

The system makes certain one team's loss is another team's gain over the short-term, which means one team's fans will dislike what happens for a while and another team will enjoy what happens for a while. Over and over again. It keeps ticket sales going. It keeps networks happy with a steady market audience. And owners and players (primarily star players) keep making money hand over fist. Kumbaya, I guess.

"Where do I sign? Oh, yeah, can you keep watching me beat the crappy teams Jerry, I'd appreciate it".............................Dakota Prescott.

 

[Mac_MaloneV1]

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

He was never a FA.

 

[Praxit]

....the way Dak appears. I doubt he ask for that much.

He must know how hard it is to win. Keeping most of these players is way to stay in contention.

One must never lose sight of the fact that the NFL is a business FIRST.
Whatever keeps the money flowing in is done
I do agree about having a salary cap exemption for say ONE player on each team per year.
That would make a big difference. or at least I would hope so....

The NFL salary cap era in my opinion is more than ever about how the GM allocates money to build a complete team and less about a Super Star overcoming a ****** GM.

Every $ spent in one area is less money you have for another.

Football is the most complimentary sport. If you have a great running game, then you dominate the time of possession and your defense does not have to be on the field as much. It also puts your QB in a much easier position to make plays. Play action becomes a major factor and you are consistently in manageable 3rd downs.

Look back at our 90's SB teams.

Super stars can be taken out of a game. Just look at Parson's being doubled and triple teamed. We have no interior pass rush, which makes it easy for teams to double Parsons. You would think this would free up everyone else to feast on the QB, but that is not how it works against teams that have been built properly.
