News: Spagnola: Don't Forget These Dak Bottom Lines

[Number1]

every now and then Mic makes a little sense

it's rather obvious, but the history of Cowboy QB deals is kinda wild, why would this one be different?

as for the money - Dak will sign for less than $25M - 30M a year guaranteed

probably front loaded with a bonus and pay escalating as they expect cap space to

I, for one, will be so happy when this all ends.

Please make it happen Dak and Stephen.

Do you think Dak is accounting for state taxes when comparing his offer to what Wentz, Goff, and Wilson are making? It works in Dak's favor so don't expect him to take less than those others just because of state taxes evening things out.

Didnt he just turn down 33. It’s gonna take at least 35.

I’m not sure I understand the part about creepy crawlers. Maybe he was talking about agents.

 

[doomsday9084]

Spagnola has an interesting writing method of talking down/insulting the reader while also sounding like an idiot. Its a truly unique writing style. I'm not sure how he got his job. If he was just a random internet poster he would be poorly regarded. As a team reporter? Sheesh.

 

[conner01]

His math is kinda silly unless you think Wilson gets cut before his contract expires
Lots of contracts have fluff to look good but Wilson’s is really not like that and that’s why teams don’t like contracts like Wilson’s
4 year contract for a young QB is just spread over 4 years and while the team can get out for less, they aren’t going to
The same with dak’s contract. He wants pretty much what Wilson got in terms of time and probably money
But both keep high yearly costs and don’t allow you to spread the money as much and both while technically not guaranteed, in reality neither would be getting cut in 4 years

Just pay the man.

Some shade of off green I would imagine. Like a Teal maybe.

good article by Mickey for once.

Why, what is going to change?

 

[jazzcat22]

good article by Mickey for once.

Most of his articles are decent. Sometimes he can be a bit off in his style. But it is just the "in" thing to do on here to hate on him, as many hate on everything no matter what it is, or who it is.

But as someone posted above, at times he has a way to talk down to the reader like he is scolding a kid.

State taxes will only help in the games played in Texas as most states now access taxes on visiting sports players.

Micks logic is flawed. He took the remaining year of Wentz’ rookie deal and amortized it over the life of the contract. The real details are the extension itsself.

Dak has no more remaining years on a rookie deal. His starting spot for this year is the FT amount. That’s the floor. I think you can also add in the FT next year into that calculation as well.

It would have been better to extend Dak last year. But Dak chose not to. Hard to be too critical of the Cowboys.

Depends on whether they buy property or not but of all the NFL teams in no state income tax, Dallas is the highest in property taxes and these players are taxed according to where thy play all of the games. They have to file a state income tax in every state they played in that has one. Players in the AFC West were happy the Raiders moved from CA to NV.

 

[CouchCoach]

Bottom line, it's all about the guarantee, the published amount is agent BS. Few of these contracts ever see full fruition at the face value. Most of these deals are for about 3 years, regardless of the term posted. Cousins deal is unique and the owners don't like it but I wish every contract was like that and the cap was a real hard cap and not getting played with by these people. I think the tags suck as well. either sign them or release them, manage the cap.

Guarantee $90 and let's settle this.
