I get your opinion i'm just trying to understand why do you feel Dak should care lol? And you aren't echoing the opinion of the FO based on what's been reported. Seems like the major hang up is how many years.
It’s not $5 to $10 mil. We’re talking per year! And hell yes $5 to $10 mil per year matters.
Right. Can you imagine someone trying to sign Lebron or Kevin Durant and then bringing up how much money they make outside of basketball? Just stupid.........
I mean contracts can’t be redone at just any time. A certain amount of years on rookie contracts has to have passed before they can be redone.
They wouldn't have given him the exclusive tag if they weren't at least remotely concerned of losing him to another team.
They could match the offer of another team if they so desired, or let him walk and get 2 first round picks. Once again, I want to keep Dak. I like him. But, he can’t be given $40 mil a season. It would handcuff what can be done with the rest of the roster.
I get what you're saying i'm not sure what this is in response to? I didn't think I was eluding that it could be.
I’m a fan on a message board giving my opinion. It’s not that hard to understand. Again, do some of you not understand the concept of a message board? It seems not.
I already know. I saw how Jerry acted about Jason Garrett. He was scared to lose him. I'm suppose to believe that they are willing to let Dak walk? Someone actually that can do his job unlike Garrett? Naw.........
It was a response to an earlier post by another poster. You can go back and read if you so desire.
Let's be realistic here though. Dak's floor is probably 34 or 35 million. His ceiling is 40 million. That's a 5-6 million dollar difference. I'm sorry but that amount of money would not handcuff this team. It just wouldn't if they draft well. Having cap space is a cop out so teams can take flyers on guys like Taco Charlton and Trystin Hill. When you have to pay a quarterback 40 million all of a sudden you don't have that luxury. You have to be smarter about how you draft.
You would think some fans would comprehend how extremely lucky we were to get Prescott and how dirt cheap he played for 4 seasons at a high level.
Aight but why are you giving me that message? I never once said you could do that.
In a alternate universe the Cowboys drafted Johnny Football instead of Zach Martin and it destroyed the franchise. Meanwhile, Dak is a Super Bowl champion for a real team. All in a alternate universe lol.
Actually it was in response to a post you made. I responded to you saying Dak didn’t complain about what he was paid on his first contract. I said he had no reason to complain since he was drafted, given his shot, and was paid based on where he was drafted. I followed up a response by you and stated that rookie contracts can’t just be redone at any time.
Ohhh ok I see what you're saying. I agree with that. But even with years left on his deal he could've did what Zeke did who had 2 years left on his deal. He could've sat out for more. He could've complained. He didn't.
You won’t get an argument from me about that. Dak should also be thankful that we drafted him and gave him a shot with a lot of talent around him. He was paid according to his draft status as is every rookie. Some take advantage, some don’t. He did and good for him. Now he’s going to be rich. But, I in no way think his next contract should have anything to do with his first. They’re two completely independent situations. Dak is going to get his money and I’m glad he is. But, he has to be at least a bit reasonable. He’s good, but he’s not Tom Brady.
I really don't care about the past, since as a team we have not made any playoff noise during his 4 years. As a fan of the team and not just a player, I want what's best for the team. Again, as a fan of the team I'm not okay with making Dak the highest paid QB when he is not the best QB in the NFL.
