Spotrac: Parsons could command $42M based on $280M salary cap

[Coogiguy03]

So if the salary cap goes up 10% next year, Dak should make $66M instead of $60M?????

very funny lol, it's what the market dictates!!!

 

[FVSTONE]

Here we go.......( Dak, $60M---Lamb, $40M----Parsons, $42M

The Cowboys need to toe the line and don't overpay Parsons like they did Prescott. Both Clevland and Pittsburg have a edge rusher who may be the best in the game and neither one has sniffed a SB with these two studs.

they don't need to be in line, what is it really going to do for us except give us things to talk about on how we shouldn't have never done it, we paid too much he's not worth it

I could see it. Hopefully, Parsons means what he's said about trying to do his contract right to help with free agency and lets the team do it in a way that makes his hits low for the first few years. $42 million APY does not mean he makes $42 million each year.

That’s this year. Wait till next year when watt gets 45 or more and Micah will cost more too

 

[ATXSRT]

I think we pay him like 35 mil.

lmao...if you think Parsons will help out with the salary cap when he gets into negotiations with Jerry, he has you fooled, big time! Just like all players, he will screw Jerry as hard as he can.

There are ways to help out with the salary cap without taking less money than the market says you are worth. That's what Patrick Mahomes did when he took his big deal years back. He didn't take less than he was worth and for a period of time there he was the highest paid QB (as USA Today reported earlier this year his $450 million contract clears the second-most lucrative one in the NFL by $175 million). However, the structure of the deal helped out the Chiefs' cap.

He may, and he'll get what the market says, but it's all about the structure of the deal. Trouble is, I'm not sure the Joneses know how to structure a deal.

I don't care about the Chiefs. This the Cowboy and Jerry and the spoiled damn man child we are talking about. As far as I'm concerned, Parsons should be traded yesterday!

By the way, did you know I despise that player? He is going to be nothing but trouble if they keep him for the money he will get.

 

[coult44]

WAIT A MINUTE. People here said they would have more money to spend on a couple different guys. They wouldn’t listen to me when I said the players would just want more if the can’t up. I

This is something that gets overlooked about elite edge rushers..........they can be a major chess piece but they alone are NOT going to win you a Super Bowl. Now if you surround them with a couple of other elite players and a dynamic scheme, you have something ..........see the Eagle's defense.

To base a players pay on the percentage of the salary cap is so beyond stupid.

Talk about a dumb tweet.

What should they base price on instead? What feels right to fan gut reaction?

It is the normalized price for top non-QBs. It is business as usual

Here we go.......( Dak, $60M---Lamb, $40M----Parsons, $42M

Someone here lol'ed last year when i expected him to make 50 mils per anno in his second contract.

Lets see.

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

So if the salary cap goes up 10% next year, Dak should make $66M instead of $60M?????

Now QBs are a different animal. Dak is actually taking up more of the cap than he was on his previous deal. QB price inflation relative to the cap is a big issue.

This is just them saying top non-QBs have gotten x percent of the cap and x percent of the cap this year is $45m.

Dak was getting x + 10 percent and then went to x + 15 percent.

Pay Parsons 42 mil = no super bowls.

The minute we paid Dak $60 million ended our superbowl chances for the foreseeable future.
