I know we don't need another Dak thread but Dak brings up some interesting points
-Dak may not have been demanding Mahommes money but it was pretty darn close
-Jerry has always been reasonable in contract negotiations and has always more or less overpaid. Prescott and the new agent was being unreasonable
-The new contract offered by Dallas would've made him the second highest paid qb with over 80 million guaranteed
-The media is currently bashing the dallas cowboys on this but how come no one is reporting what Dak's demands where. That's a very good point by Bayless
-This isn't a kirk cousins deal because Dallas did offer Dak a fair deal, unlike Washington. Dak just didn't want it
I'm left with two things here
1. Does Dak even want to play here anymore? Valid question
2. Why is Jerry the villain all of a sudden, considering in their history they have always signed the player they wanted or needed?
I like Prescott, but several of his fans have to ask themselves, are you a fan of the Dallas Cowboys or a fan of Dak Prescott because his demands are literally detrimental to the team and its success in the future.
Forgetting what the media has to say about this in the end the Jones decided they do not want Dak as their long term selection at QB.
Personally I believe that Dak got a very
low-ball offer one that he had to say NO and this is verified by Dak's brother's tweet full of frustration and disappointment.
Having Zeke, Coop, Collins, etc, etc all get paid, and then hearing the FO just signed a 9-year starter has pretty much confirmed that Dak is DONE is in Big D.
The above occurs when the FO finally realized that they got it wrong with Prescott and need to cut their losses and move on.
Why pay him 31 million you may ask well its a political move for various reasons from the locker room to the fan base.
Dak will implode this season as the pressures will be overbearing (esp in the huddle of disgrace for Dak) and will be replaced by Dalton at some point.
Dak's career in the NFL is about to go south in a big way as the reality of his low talent level is now in the driver's seat.
