There Is No Scenario Where Dak, CeeDee, And Micah All Get New Deals With Cowboys

If you want to get super semantic, Sewell does not make 30m$+. 4/112

It’s not just about the total amount, it’s about how their AAV is relevant to the cap. Julian Edelman had a great take about this on his podcast. The typical team has about 3 players making top-of-the-market money, then 6 players making second tier money, and then a bunch of thirty or rookie deals. How NE was run, why he thinks they were so successful, is there only big contract was ever Tom while he was there. Mccourty and Gronk got positional wealth, but TE and S didn’t really make anything back then. So Belichick’s strategy was the 1 big contract, then 15+ second tier deals to balance the roster. He got rid of Seymour over money, Law, Milloy, Moss, Welker, Revis. He was shedding talent to diversify. Tom was the driving go force for those SB teams, but he doesn’t play Oline, he doesn’t play Dline, he doesn’t play secondary.

Dallas seems to be taking the exact opposite approach. Martin is a top paid G in the whole league. Diggs is one of the top paid CBs in the whole league. Tyler Smith will likely be that next year. And then you add 3 more guys to that list and Dallas’ salary cap allotment will be top heavy in a way we’ve never seen before because you’ve gotten rid of nearly all of your second tier players. Dorance Armstrong, Stephon Gilmore, Tyler Biadasz, Michael Gallup, Dante Fowler, Tyron Smith, Tony Pollard. The guys who were your league average second tier players from last year.

How many Cowboys right now make between 10-25m$ a year? Thats a huge cap gap. One? Maybe two? No one has EVER attempted this kind of thing before.

They don’t understand nor do they want to.

Youre wasting your time researching things for posters that operate more on feels over facts.

Meh the team got dog walked when they were playing on team friendly deals and they were playing for their future contracts. Can you imagine what it will look like when they all get paid off.

 

[Loso86]

Micah will be the highest paid defensive player ever.

CeeDee will want more than Jefferson who just became the highest paid non-QB ever.

Dak will want to be the highest paid player ever.

That would be the highest paid ever at defense and offense PLUS the highest paid non-QB ever all on the same team.

No. Chance.

Umm ok that's your opinion I guess

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Remember how shocked Dak Haters were when they discovered Prescott and Cowboys had viodable 2025 and 2026 seasons......

The information had been on Sportrac since 2021....

Dak Haters are guessing their way through with jenky Narratives

Exactly

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

Umm ok that's your opinion I guess

Do you think all 3 will take fair contracts to help the team?

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

You have no argument lol. You’re just saying the same thing over and over. You don’t know what their salaries will be or how it will be structured or what the salary cap will be. 3 on 53 is hard but so is 2 on 53.

So all of a sudden that “it’s how the market works” don’t apply?

You and your buds just stay being wrong.

 

[fivetwos]

You’re allowed to borrow from future years so they can absolutely retain all three.

But they will need to understand that there’s going to be lean years with much dead money later on. They don’t seem to want to operate that way, while we compete against teams that do. Yet another disadvantage.

If you’re planning on winning that way, the drafts have to be nearly perfect, not just what people want to believe. They really haven’t been. They haven’t gotten nearly enough out of Friday picks lately.

Whatever. I’ll be here and I’ll always watch, but I have no faith whatsoever in this front office to actually put together a winner…and they aren’t “close,” as they claim. Four playoff wins in one season is a VERY far cry from four in 30 years. Sorry, but that’s a fact.

Whether it happens or not, and the chances are high that it might not. However, acting like there is no scenario is living in denial.

What about the posters on this thread that are sure all 3 get their record setting deals? Where are they living?

 

[CowboyStar88]

Is there a scenario where all 3 are not retained and 2 are traded off for picks to avoid the large contracts? If you get a nice haul for 88 & 11 that sets your team up in the draft the next 2-3 years do you explore that? Accelerate Daks cap it in 2025 and rebuild this entire thing and hire a guy like Ben Johnson?

I dunno just thinking out loud.

 

[Mr Cowboy]

All our players should play on minimum contracts!

It’s not just about the total amount, it’s about how their AAV is relevant to the cap. Julian Edelman had a great take about this on his podcast. The typical team has about 3 players making top-of-the-market money, then 7-8 players making second tier money, and then a bunch of thrifty or rookie deals. How NE was run, why he thinks they were so successful, is their only big contract was ever Tom while he was there. Mccourty and Gronk got positional wealth, but TE and S didn’t really make anything back then. So Belichick’s strategy was the 1 big contract, then 15+ second tier deals to balance the roster.

Dorance Armstrong, Stephon Gilmore, Tyler Biadasz, Michael Gallup, Dante Fowler, Tyron Smith, Tony Pollard. The guys who were your league average total of second tier players from last year.

How many Cowboys right now make between 10-20m$ a year? Thats a huge cap area to cover. One? No one has EVER attempted this kind of thing before.

No one has attempted it yet. We are years away from even seeing this. Even if all got signed they all wouldn’t be 30 million plus for a few years.

 

[DIAF]

There is no issue.

I’m just letting you know who the clear odd man out is.

It's going to be CeeDee. WR is INFINITELY more replaceable than the QB position. A fringe top-10 QB is a lot more valuable than a top 5 WR.

There Is No Scenario Where Dak, CeeDee, And Micah All Get New Deals With Cowboys​

Hypothetically, how should a concerned fan react if all three players receive new contracts from Jerry Jones? In other words, what if 'no scenario' turns into 'a scenario'? Would the reaction be disbelief? Outrage?? Seppuku???

Not sure what you’re talking about. Probably should reference something I said and not my “buds”.

Reality
This team has paid dak before. They over paid for Zeke. They paid for Tank. For the most part they pay the guys they have drafted and that they love. It is not something new.

 

[Jimbo123]

Micah and CeeDee will get their deals.

So you're going to pay CeeDee 34M+ only to have Cooper Rush as his QB? Yea, that makes sense..

There is no “reality” where one team has the highest paid offensive and defensive players of all time AND the highest paid non-QB of all time.

 

[DIAF]

he created this thread as engagement-bait. it's what he does. Even he knows that WR is a less valuable position than QB.

5-1 Cooper Rush? Nah.

The Lance PR campaign is in full motion. I wonder what good news about Lance we’ll hear next?
