Both players got an extension with 1 year left on their contract. Purdy got 5 years averaging 53M. But his last year is only around 5M. So 265M + 5M is 270M divided by 6. Averages out to 45M over the next 6 years.
Fun with numbers to make them something they really are not.
What do you mean? Do you want me to prove that Dak said he’s pushing the envelope for the QB brotherhood. A simple YouTube search will do that. Do you want me to prove that no QB has come within 5 million APY of his salary. That’s already documented in this thread. What exactly do you want me to prove?
There may be 10 players on the Cowboys paid more than $7 million per season. Don’t pretend SF didn’t do a good job negotiating the Purdy deal. Signed him for more than 10% less than Dak.How is 53 mil vs 60 mil “a significantly better deal”?
Just wait to you see his encore with Micah.
But it works exactly how I said it works. Purdy's cap hits will average 45M over the next 6 years. They take the total of his extension plus his final year and structure it anyway they like.
I know, that was the first thing I thought of. I’m worried Micah is going to be 45 million APY fully guaranteed.
It's not Dak's fault, in our case, it's the owner's fault. Clearly Dak couldn't care less about the cap. But what player does?
If your spouse went and bought a car for 60K and that car didn’t run as well and is not as good of quality of a car that could have been bought for 53K or 55K. That would be upsetting. I don’t see how anybody would be cool with that.
How far they get rarely determines what they get paid. A lack of alternatives usually does. Our GM is another story. I'm surprised we didn't give up a first for Pickens.
You’re just playing around with numbers to further your agenda. The only numbers that matter are 53 mil vs 60 mil. Not much difference IMO. If you disagree, fine.
I agree. It’s the owners fault for caving. But Dak did not endear himself to the fans when he said that brotherhood line. Also Dak already made 100 million or so. He could have considered the effects of the cap and how his deal is structured. It’s Jerry’s fault but like you said clearly Dak didn’t care about the cap. Dak stated publicly he cared more about players on other teams than our team as it relates to his salary.
I'm not a big Dak fan, but this is going to come across like I'm defending him. I would use a different comparison. Dak lost to Purdy in the quarter mile. Dak was driving a Honda Civic, Purdy a Corvette. You going to blame the driver? Quarterbacks don't play in a vacuum.
I'm pretty sure all QBs do that. That's why any QB you draft will take nothing less than top market value on an extension no matter how good they are. No other position does that.
Also, 49ers probably got a discount because Purdy went 6-9 as a starter last year and only threw 20 TDs while throwing 12 ints. The year Dak signed his contract he was coming off a year where he was 12-5 with 36 TDs and 9 ints and got voted #2 in the MVP race. I’m not saying Dak is worth the $60 million or should have even been an MVP candidate. I am just saying Purdy had a bad year last year and doing that in a contract year cost him a little scratch. It seems like our guys always excel in contract years, get the big contract, and then stink it up once they get paid.
But 53 and 60 aren't the real numbers going forward. It's not me that disagrees, I'm just doing the math. Between 2024 and 2028 Dak Averages a cap hit of 65M a year.
Now this is 100%
