Should Dak Reduce His Salary To Allow Team To Sign Free Agents

[SFloridaCowboy]

All these stars making enough money for 7 generations, they cannot even spend in a normal life all the money they make each year. Why make so much that their team cannot afford great players at other positions?

Dak's salary is impeding the Boys' ability to bringing in free agent impact starters. The draft alone has not brought the Boys to the big game. They must supplement their draft picks, undrafted free agents with impact players who are free agents who fill an immediate need for the team, or trades that are steals.

Lots of you will say Dak will never do it, reduce his salary, but my suggestion is the only possible way to improve the team.

Jimmy Johnson knew he needed more talent. He brought in Plan B free agents Jay Novacek and James Washington. He traded for guard John Gesek, DE Charles Haley, safety Thomas Everritt and DT Tony Casillas. He received a treasure of draft picks for Herschel Walker who had led the NFC in rushing in 1988. He knew the team's weaknesses and always made moves to improve.

Our 2023 team did not have enough talent to make it to the top. Porous run defense, not enough run stuffing LB's, average run blocking OL. We need more than a draft to get this team over the malaise of the past 28 or so years.

I'll speak for everyone, HELL yeah!!!!

I mean these players are going to get their money, but damn after a certain amount of seasons, and there's no GOOD results, maybe it's time to do what's best and put the team first. I'm sure there's plenty guaranteed money that was in the contract that said player will have, go ahead and take a paycut, and win!

I think Dak should pay free agents out of his salary.

Does anyone here actually think that Dak would give the Team a discount, for the sake of winning?

 

[OmerV]

Apparently some aren't aware, but Dak already restructured once to allow more cap space (he and Zach Martin both did a year ago). He clearly is willing to work with the team on that.

To be clear, it's not a pay cut, it's restructuring how the contract is paid. That's how it works with anyone, not just Dak. He still has one year left on that contract.

It's rare when any player gives a team discount, so I don't think it will happen. It would be great if he shocked us though.

 

[Jipper]

He won't, hisbagent will tell him it would be dumb to do so, we will stupidly make him the highest paid qb in history and more of us will be dead before another superbowl.

The end

Warren Moon never went to the Super Bowl. Josh Allen might have just given up his defining moment...there, who knows. No, the negative stance just doesn't possess a crystal ball.

 

[starfan1]

yes he should

 

[Bigdog]

Yes he should but will he, probably not

 

[Kwyn]

This is not based in reality.

Tom Brady, on his fourth contract and married to a billionaire, took a bit less than the highest contract in the league.

That’s the lone example.

No other QB has ever turned down the bag. Can they structure it in a friendly way? Sure. But the money is the money. Dak’s 12th highest paid now. Assuming they sign him, his avg annual will go up.

Goff is gonna get paid.
Purdy is gonna get paid.
And the world will keep on turning.

Would he give up his Louis Vuitton hand bag for a good LB. Of course not are you crazy? Dude can literally poop his baby diaper in the playoffs and still get a massive raise. And you want him to take a pay cut. Not happening friend. Why would he and why should he. His legacy is not determined by the success of this football team. It is determined by the size and longevity of his pay checks. The two have nothing to do with each other.

 

[John813]

Yea, he can take a "pay cut" by telling the Joneses they need to extend him and convert the base into a signing bonus.

 

[Point-of-the-Star]

Should Dak give up some of his salary ?????





He don't play like that !

 

[Mobinvans]

Tom Brady did…..

But Dak is no Tom Brady

 

[MyFairLady]

Dude can't even be bothered to prepare for the game or run for a first down and you want him to give up actual money?

 

[WillieBeamen]

dak should do what Tad wants and get outta Dallas

 

[G2]

He's already restructured.

 

[Jarv]

The real question should be...Should Jerry extend Dak if he demands a raise. His average salary is 40 million/year now (forget the restructures and such, still 160 million / 4years).
