Prescott new contract projection

[1942willys]

....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.

Honestly, he already has made enough money to live comfortably and more for the rest of his life.
Why should he demand every last dollar when in the end its in his best interest not to? to help keep the team or build it better?

 

[1942willys]

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.

IT is no different then it was with DeWare. ONE guy is all the OC had to worry about as regards Pass Rush and that one guy can be neutralized as we have seen

 

[J12B]

Because Jerry didn’t have the guts to do what Denver is doing?

Yes.

You realize Wilson has thrown for over 3,000 yards, 26 TDs, and only 8 INTS, right? Also ran for another 300 and 3 TDs.

That’s a whooping 5 less total TDs than Dak this year.

Let’s not pretend Dak is this superior player to Wilson and therefore untouchable.

Broncos know that even with a decent Russ there franchise can't even make the playoffs hence the need to start over.

Not to mention all the draft capital they gave up to get him. There is no way they get better next year with him.

The Dallas Cowboys are committed to Prescott.

I am committed to the fact that this team will not win a Super Bowl with him.

We just have to hope the Cap goes up as projected.

___________________

2010 was the only year an increase did not happen. It does not go up as much as some observers want each year to offset the percentages of a few players eating into their team's salary cap.

I once posted an idea that the CBA codify pay structures for each position, similar to what they do with rookie salaries. The likelihood of it getting any traction with the owners and union is slim-to-none but I think it would be better than what they currently negotiate contracts with--which is nothing really.

 

[RS12]

This organization is simply committed to failure.

If by failure, you mean jersey sales, you are correct.

Exactly and some how that was Tony's fault.

 

[doomsday9084]

Put in 10 years and see what you come up with

I'm not super up on the cap rules but it appears that signing bonuses can only be distributed over the first 5 years. You have to get pretty unrealistic to get the upcoming cap hits down. Like, zero signing bonus, minimum salary for a few years. Dak isn't signing that.

Contract length doesn't help this situation.

 

[Chasing6]

The Dallas Cowboys are committed to Prescott.

I am committed to the fact that this team will not win a Super Bowl with him.

I am committed to Prescott. I am also committed to the fact the GM Jerry will not commit to building the trenches.

Then we will start to wonder why Dak keeps getting hurt.

 

[Direwolf63]

So that contract with the richest defensive contract too? Can that be done?

And $30M+ for a WR?

So $120M-$130M a year for 3 guys?

well there is always the possibility of another COVID
But I was talking about the projected increases that would be greater than ever before
AS LONG as those come its not really that bad

 

[Direwolf63]

Actually extending Dak cuts his cap hit

For one year

Then skyrockets after that

 

[Brax]

I’m not a cap guru either but plugging in 8 years with a hundred million signing bonus it comes up to 50 million a year

 

[J12B]

Honestly, he already has made enough money to live comfortably and more for the rest of his life.
Why should he demand every last dollar when in the end its in his best interest not to? to help keep the team or build it better?

I agree with this.

He's probably made $130 million already from football alone. And then another $25 million in Endorsements.

Granted he probably only has seen 60% of that with taxes and agent fees.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

Exactly the numbers I have said, so this is no surprise to me.........$53M is his floor right now but the NFCCG pushes that to $55M+ IMO.

 

[Chasing6]

And $30M+ for a WR?

So $120M-$130M a year for 3 guys?

I don't believe we can win a SB with the highest paid QB, WR, CB and DE. Having 35+% of your cap going to 4 players is a recipe for disaster.

Just take a look at the most successful team over the last 20 years. Did NE have highly paid WR's and RB's?

Did Brady have time to throw the ball? When did Brady leave NE? When the OLine was a disaster. Where did he go?

If you are a GM and 25% of your cap is invested in a QB, why is it not common sense to protect your investment.

What good is a top QB/WR/RB if your OLine is subpar?

I think agents only get a fee for the contract. Not for the endorsements
But who knows?
Texas has no income tax which is good but Dak is at the top rate which is I think 36.6%

Not sure what agents cut is of a contract; maybe 10% at most but I have no clue

 

[DallasInDC]

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.

i would wager if QBs did hit the open market the salaries would be even higher once you had multiple bidders... that would also include average QBs.

 

[DallasEast]

If you are a GM and 25% of your cap is invested in a QB, why is it not common sense to protect your investment.

Jerry Jones is the same man who bought the team 35 years ago. Here is an example of his common sense:

He paid Romo BEFORE constructing a dependable offensive line. Why? Because Romo was a mobile quarterback and did not 'need' a solid offensive line to be effective.

I will put it another way. Your common sense is not necessarily Jones' common sense.

I remember Jerry saying, "We don't need a good OLine, Romo can run around and make it happen."
