Speculation: Dak Deal To Be Finalized By End Of Next Week

[TheDank]

I don’t dispute that we’ll sign him to 27m or so, but nothing has shown that the deal is imminent so far.

Is he worth it? Idk maybe he could be if he continues to develop and become a better QB as well as the continued uptick in market price. I’d say not right now but just like the price for Dlaw went up as we waited the same will happen with Dak if he plays well.

 

[Sydla]

It's the market, live with it. Today's overpayment is tomorrow's bargain. Because those Qbs behind him will leapfrog him when they're up.

The "market" is a silly answer. The "market" is different for players of all skill sets and rankings.

 

[Rockport]

I already accepted we weren't moving on from Dak... I also accepted we won't see another Super Bowl for 20 more years... So this isn't exactly shocking if it is true.

Then you also need to expect that you’re ignorant when it comes to football.

 

[PAPPYDOG]

This guy sounds connected.

To one of these at some clinic for sure for sure.....not even the Jones are so inept!

As I said earlier, the devil will be in the details of whatever contract he signs. If it carries a lot of guaranteed money, I suspect the contract is going to raise the ire of some, but if it's only $27MM on average because of some backloaded, non-guaranteed money, the contract will be more palatable.

When hell freezes over we will win a SB with Dak......

Whatever makes you happy guru...

next week will be fun.

If Cousins got 28 mil a year.....I'm just saying

Agreed, that’s a fair point and probably the best option for Dallas is a larger overall number through incentives and a mid level guaranteed portion. It will definitely be an interesting contract to delve into.

I figured around 25.i like Dak. I think he has a shot to have a nice career here. We just have to surround him with the right team. Tony career he didn’t have a ton of help. Let’s not make the same mistake twice

Dan's been to the pro bowl 2 out of 3 seasons, been to the playoffs 2 out of 3 seasons, unquestioned team leader. No matter what you think. That s how qbs are paid.

EOW today or EOW Sunday?

End of next week sorry. Both sides just reached preliminary agreements. Got to work out the kinks during the week. You know the Joneses don’t work during the weekends

 

[Gameover]

@Risen Star if Dak is Worth 27 mil.. How much is Wentz worth?

Horse manure

 

[Sydla]

If Cousins got 28 mil a year.....I'm just saying

Absolutely.

And let's also note that many of the people who will praise the Cowboys for signing Dak to a contract like that probably ripped the Vikings for being silly and signing that contract with Cousins.

 

[Chuck 54]

Totally different position, but I recall fans going crazy over our last kicker’s contract until the nexts proved it was wise and ahead of the market.

I think, whatever they pay, is very wise before the contracts of Wentz, Goff, and Mahomes. The QB world will change dramatically in the next two years. Jones is smart to be ahead of it now rather than behind it later.

 

[SoupcanSam]

Beautiful black dreads homie. Guessing you’re still in denial about this contract?

Nah you're just the first troll with dreads that's all.

Put you next to the unicorn.

Lol thank you. Every above average qb gets paid market value. From Kirk to Derek Carr to Jimmy G. None of which are considerably better or have done better than Dak in their careers. Again not saying good move or bad move, guys like us just try to help these folks understand simple market science.

Pro Bowl? Oy. And wasn't he a late addition to one of them because other QBs backed out?

He's a decent QB. Why pay him like an elite QB (assuming the numbers bandied about are accurate - we won't know for sure how bad this potential contract is until we see details)?

It's how teams end up with cap problems. They overpay for players.

 

[Cowfan75]

Well, the only time we should believe a Jones is when he says they aren't really interested in FA. Stephen has already said that and I believe him. We'll blow the bank on players already here, then hit the bargain bin, because the status quo is the status quo. Has been for a very, very long time.
