I honestly cannot remember any QB Contract negotiation taking this long ( without a doubt their may have been i just cannot recall one ) Seems like this has become the perfect storm situational wise which contributed to this.... If i am missing anything please feel free to add your thoughts
I am sure the Jerry and company media comments have amplified this as well but when you look at everything this is a unique storm sort to speak !
Dak Drafted never expected to start
Romo and company get hurt
Dak Kills it rookie season
Takes the starting job which seemed a long shot or at least years away ( thus causing a divide with the romo lovers when he lost his job, i loved romo and loved what Dak did what a weird place to be)
Since he is not a first round pick rookie contract is less years than expected and lower in comparison. COWBOYS WIN
I am sure Dak did not think he would be in this position to get a pay day like this, this quickly- Maybe eventually but not this soon !
Then you get Wentz and Geoff being paid early not to mention Garapallo ( butchered that spelling i am sure LOL) getting paid while sort of being unproven
Daks agent personally is in a tough position ---- Daks contract needs to be good so he can use it as an example to other potential clients --- with the leagues revenue and pay scale about to shift dramatically in a few years i fully understand why he wants a shorter deal so he can negotiate a second contract we are in uncharted waters !!! I admire Dak for not being afraid to bet on himself ( i also don't blame him for going for his in a cut throat business where his career could end in one hit any of us would do the same thing use leverage we have to get a great deal ) ----- he may never have thought this type of payday was possible ! If Daks agent screws this up, it will be damaging to his career ( i get the agents position although as fans i hate it and i am sure noone cares about him LOL )
We have not even mentioned the Qb company Daks stats have put him with the start to his career. They have him on a path if he keeps it up for greatness !! then on the other hand there are those that argue well there is no superbowl title and he needs a superior cast to achieve what he has done it is a really muddled situation
How much of all this not winning a superbowl talk was Garrets Fault !!
So Many What if's or unanswered questions
I personally love dak and am 100% behind him i have stayed out of the countless threads regarding all the hate.
BUT in all seriousness Just looking at everything leading up to this negotiation it is just a really weird perfect storm.
I really hope this gets worked out soon though so we can move on honestly i am tired of it, but all along this was never a normal contract discussion or situation ! Just my 2 Cents
The Cowboys know that the contract demands are all due to the agent.
Dak originally said on camera when asked about the Russell Wilson contract "I don't expect that much".
Dak has earned a total of 4 million up to this point in his career (not including endorsements).
It is highly unlikely that he would hold out when even playing on the Franchise Tag pays him 31 million for 1 season.
It was much different with Zeke because Zeke had already earned about 20 million at the point he held out of the off-season and threatened to hold out during the season. He was set to make about 5 million for the 2019 season which was about 1/4th of his earnings up to that point. On the tag Dak is set to make in 1 season about 8 times what he has made up to this point.

His request must be so unrealistic that they simply aren’t close and that’s why it’s taking so long. That’s really the only thing that makes sense.
Right. He's having to wait. This is the biggest contract Jerry has given out to date so Jerry isn't willing to cave just yet. But he will cave.
The Jones are the dumbest on the planet but even they know this doods going to make a fortune and there's something wrong with that lol
I agree with this ! i personally have never been worried and have always felt a deal will get there just found all of what led up to Dak's 2nd contract has been very interesting gonna make a great 30/30 special at the end of his career !Because I have a sense that both parties are committed to getting an agreement done, I've never been that concerned about it, despite how long its been going on.
It's at the point of becoming nonsense. No excuse why it hasn't been completed.
The other two QBs from his class Goff and Wentz are done. Why hasn't Dak?
If Mohomes and Watson go through this BS, then we've solved the riddle.
They know he isn't a franchise QB, it's obvious.
Can't wait to see that 30/30 episode.I agree with this ! i personally have never been worried and have always felt a deal will get there just found all of what led up to Dak's 2nd contract has been very interesting gonna make a great 30/30 special at the end of his career !
Jerry and Dak's agent should come out and make the negotiations public so the fans know who to scream and throw eggs at.
Can't wait to see that 30/30 episode.
But you do see how these sports talk shows play up the drama. I don't get caught up in it but I know many do. They allow themselves to get emotionally invested.
