Twitter: Rumor: Dak Turned Down $30m/yr?

[John813]

30 mil a year doesn't mean much without context.

What's the signing bonus, amount guaranteed, and fully guaranteed?

 

[DallasEast]

No. I am a legitimate fan of BOTH teams. What is hard to understand about that?

Right!

Right!

The "Market" hopefully its the fruit market as Dak ain't worth 1 penny over what a back-up QB makes.

Brady gives back millions of dollars to keep his team stacked and our Mr. Mediocre demands even more than he’s worth.

notice that almost never gets leak ....lol

Great...play the season out, franchise #4, draft a QB in the 2nd round of 2020 draft...go from there. Great news from my perspective.

True. However, Dak has not responded with a counter offer. That's what is really strange. He's dumb not get this locked up now if Stephen is willing.

I genuinely hope that Stephen purposefully offered what he KNEW Dak would refuse, just so the Cowboys could get one last look for cheap.

I would much rather pay Dak $40 million per year after this season than $30 million per year now. If he has a great season, then back up the Brinks truck.

We need another season to determine if he's improving, or if this is just as good as he'll ever be.

You don't pay $30 million per year to a guy who is in the 18-20 range at quarterback in the league.

Do you go on the Eagles board and claim to be a Cowboy Fan?

They would insta-ban him if he did that.
Too much to lose...lol
He should thank his lucky stars our mods are more tolerant of his ilk.

Exactly. People get caught up in the annual salary, but there are other details that are just as important if not more so. For example, is a $32MM/yr contract really better than a $30MM/yr contract if the guaranteed portion and/or the up front signing bonus is substantially less?

 

[DandyDon1722]

I love how all these rumors just get leaked to the media.

Exactly right.

Leaks are always done for leverage or to send a message without an official comment.

This has CAA (his agent) written all over it.

“Hey Jerry - ummm...that’s not our number.”

The way these contracts generally work is as an extension, therefore Dak would play out this year under his current contract, augmented of course by the upfront signing bonus amount, and the team wouldn't start paying the new annual salary until next year.

New contract details: total years, when it starts, practical guarantee/total dollars, signing bonus, and current salary. Lots of variables that do not equate to face value of the new contract only. I do not pretend to understand it all, but my reckoning, Wentz is getting less than $32MM - according to Adam Adam Schefter, Wentz's total contract is at six years and $154 million = almost $26MM/annum. Not sure if roster bonuses are included.

What it boils down to is Wentz's contract extension is at $32MM/year, but his overall contract is not because he still has to play out the remainder of his existing contract. I think that's the part people miss - that the "new contract" doesn't kick in from day one, but rather it is a contract extension that kicks on after the existing contract ends. Of course, some of that extension is paid immediately in the form of a signing bonus.

The “Enlightened” crowd.

The "Arrogant, Judgemental" crowd.

 

[coult44]

Carson Wentz signed a 4 year, $128,000,000 contract with the Philadelphia Eagles, including a $16,367,683 signing bonus, $107,970,683 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $32,000,000

Wrong... Carson Wentz Signed to a four-year, $128 million extension, with only a $16.3 million signing bonus and $107.9 guaranteed. But over the first four years of the deal, because of his $720,000 base salary for 2019 still in place, the deal comes to $103 million, or an average of $26 million a year. There is $41 million of base salary in the final two seasons that aren’t guaranteed.

I think they need to get the Cooper deal done first. They traded a 1st round pick, which is a premium, for him. Get that done, then Dak during the season, then Elliot before next season. If he does not report, so be it.

Ewww. What is a half fan? Sounds like something out of a science fiction novel.

Exactly, it's actually a solid deal for both sides given his injury history. Eagles are basically buying low on Wentz and rolling the dice that his health improves. Dak has a legitimate argument to get paid more than Wentz seeing how Wentz has yet to play in the postseason and Dak has had three playoff games where he's played well. If the Cowboys refuse to give him that then it makes sense for Dak to bet on himself this year. If Kellen Moore is the offensive guru the way people depict him then Dak could have a great year and be in line to get more than $32 million a year.

I would assume the same principle applies to Dak as well. When these contract extensions are posted in rumor form, it comes off as click bait because details are not announced. Yellow journalism.
