Dak needs to be lower than $50 million. He already got the big contract. Jerry caved in to him. Dak now has to return the favor. Dak currently earns $40 mil/season. Take an extension at between $40 - $42 mil/season. That keeps him at what he's currently making or a little more. Waaaay enough money per year. This would help the Cowboys have enough cap space to sign CeeDee, Micah, Pollard and a few other key starters to long-term contracts.

I wish there was some way they could extend Dak for two seasons. At the end of this season, he has no viable competition. Trey Lance won't be ready in 2024, he will need one more season of development.
Even with Lance on the team I do wish the Cowboys would draft a legitimate talent with the potential to start. The Cowboys need to change their typical process which is to settle on a starter and call it a day. They need to foster an environment of competition where nothing is ever completely settled and there is no such thing as a "franchise" quarterback. They should be drafting one every three years and not only day #3.
This way, a Cowboys quarterback negotiating for his 2nd contract will always coincide with another Cowboys quarterback entering his 2nd season.

Way too much recency bias with those statements. Two and a half weeks ago we were all ready to start lance.
He has to prove it this year. He has to lead us to an nfc title game at the very least. He has to show he can play against the 49ers and eagles. If not he doesn’t deserve to be extended.
Stephen and Jerry are saying the right things yes. But I’d have to believe that’s how they feel as well. Jerry ain’t getting any younger. If dak can’t make a run this year he isn’t going to.

Eagles have never ever been his problem. He owns them.
Stephen has always said he was gonna sign Dak to his first contract, and he did. And hes saying hes gonna sign him again, and he will.

someone may have said this but we’re between a rock and a hard place. We have micha and the rest of the d but they just can’t stop the niners. We need a qb who can dominate. *** do we do? Anyone else tired of losing in the second round ?

Is the answer to just have a defense and offensive playmakers everywhere so that a bus driver can win again

Fans of teams with post season aspirations like the Eagles and Niners must celebrate every time they read one of these articles about continuing this failed QB era.

I’d sign him to an extension of 30 a year. I don’t think he’s played like a 40 million a year guy. If he gave us a hometown discount at 30-35 million then I’d be good with it. If we sign him to 50-55 million we’d be in bad shape. Hopefully he gives us a discount.

We’ll see how he plays in December and in the rough stretch of our season with the Eagles, Dolphins, Bills. I find it interesting that DNA boy said we’ll address this after the season as opposed to saying it’s ongoing. Interesting choice of words. I don’t believe him when he says Dak will be our QB. Because like you said, why wait? Why didn’t they redo his deal now or before the season.

Yeah, the Eagles are so thrilled about continuing to face a QB who has an 8-3 record against them!
That 40-piece Dak put on their defense to ruin their Christmas? They totally want more of that!!!

This POS QB is gonna be your guy until 2030. Might as well stock up on your 2030 calendars early.

There was absolutely nothing committal to what Stephen said. Nothing.
I'm one of the few non-Dak haters left around here, but you are misunderstanding S-Jones' comments if you think it's a big positive for Dak.
