Twitter: Schefter: Cowboys likely to use franchise tag on Prescott

[cowboyblue22]

well looks like another season is going to be messed up with contract crap holdouts and more jerry and Stephen are so stupid and it really shows

 

[Bob-Lillys-War]

MM will not be happy about this situation .

Dang it . Jerrah with his terrible antics and negotiations .

 

[BigStar]

Jerrah is weak, he will pay anything to keep Dak .

So hold out it is, and 40M it will be .

Yep, he found his easy option. Winning SBs, aint got time for that nonsense I drafted a franchise QB at the end of the 4th, "look at this chest" lol He's good but not 35M good, I paid the whole OLINe and the RB...have to pay him too, why?

Uhh Russell Wilson did not make Doug Baldwin. Doug Baldwin was a great receiver. That’s like saying Ben Rothlisbergee elevates Antonio
Brown.

Are you comparing Doug Baldwin to Brown? Brown is a HOF WR, Baldwin was a good receiver with a couple of great seasons. lol

 

[Hennessy_King]

The franchise tag is the worst thing in professional sports.

Didn’t compare anyone. My point was Doug Baldwin was a great receiver. The whole “elevating” argument is a silly one. So if you are drafted late or not at all that means a quarterback made you better? It’s a dumb argument.

It is. NFL players union should’ve been abolished that crap.

Baldwin was nowhere near "great" until Wilson had to put the ball in the air from lack of a running game and made Baldwin his guy. To pretend you knew who he was before that is ... "something." I've actually lived in Seattle so I know of what I speak.

But besides all that, you're not addressing my point. Where are you seeing Dak elevating a receiver that didn't already have demonstrated success elsewhere?

 

[cowboyec]

probably...but they can still negotiate even taggin Dak.
its not an either or...i think a deal gets done before training camp.

 

[john van brocklin]

Yes they play different positions, But Dak has already stated clearly that he will not be in training camp is no deal is reached..

If thats the case trade his rights

 

[MarcusRock]

The whole “elevating” argument is a silly one.

Sorry, but you actually tried to make an argument about it. Now when you can't really, it's dumb?

Since Zack Martin you’ve used your firsts rounders on Zeke, Taco, LVE and Amari Cooper. Three of those guys are Pro Bowlers.

Dak doesn’t elevate anyone? Cobb and Cooper has their best seasons in years. Gallup went from third round pick to a 1k receiver. That’s elevation.

 

[DallasDomination]

If Dak wants 40 mill or more then I think we should just draft another qb. I’ve seen enough of Dak to know he’s an average passer, above average decision maker, average athleticism, above average leadership, above average work ethic.

He’s a guy you can win a sb with it the team is stacked and he’s red lining his play during the playoffs. But he won’t elevate average players and average coaching like a Russell Wilson that’s for damn sure. Put Dak in Seattle and they win maybe 6 games.

 

[_sturt_]

I'm with those who think any delay in signing Dak only works to his advantage.

The later this goes, the more likely Mahomes' deal gets done first, and that's only going to nudge Dak's number higher (unless, of course, it is some ungodly number already).

I think this “elevating receiver” thing is a stupid myth. How are you deciphering who’s elevating who? Did Joe Montana elevate Jerry Rice? Did Big Ben elevate Antonio? You may live in Seattle but I’ve seen Baldwin bail Russ our numerous times with great catches. He was not some bum like you’re trying to make him out to be.

Some like to use Laurent Robinson as a guy Romo elevated. That’s fair. But that ain’t what Russ did for Doug Baldwin.

Him and Stephen are so bad at negotiating.

Their main problem is they say the quiet part loud (we're all-in on Dak), and then continue to act as though they didn't just say that thing.

And then when they finally cave, they have their victory press conference and put on their **** eating grins and pretend that overpaying the player was what they wanted to do all along

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

​

It’s always been dumb. I’m asking you a question. If Cobb and Cooper were bad before they got here and then got better when they got here then using your definition how is that not elevating?

This is the NFL though. You can negotiate but whatever you negotiate it will be a record breaking deal. No one negotiates and gets a discount lol.

Agreed . Wilson elevates the players around him , i don't see it in Dak . Maybe im wrong ?
