News: TS: Jimmy Johnson Trashes Cowboys For Paying Dak Prescott $60 Million Per Year

[CowboysFaninHouston]

as he should, but who is at fault? one Jerry Jones the Idiot GM of the cowboys. He could have just played this year out, use the money to sign some real FAs instead of Zeke and what nots....and make a run and then rebuild. the best move for both sides would have been to play out this last year, let coach and QB walk and do a rebuild....but the idiot GM cornered himself. first, that Dak was still top 20 in jersey sales, that's important to Jerry. second that he had no QBs under contract in 2025.... and instead of getting the signing done in off season, he waited and waited and waited and milked the bad publicity. in the meantime Dak's agent was laughing....either give us what we want or this is the last year and we hit the market.....Jerry cornered himself with Dak's contract for the third time..... and now he is being ridiculed and everything is falling apart around him and he has no idea what to do, but continue the spin.

Folks that claim Jimmy couldn't coach with the salary cap, Dallas was 23rd (out of 25) highest in payroll in 1994 (first year of salary cap).

1994 payroll

In 1993, Dallas had the 19th highest payroll and won the Super Bowl.

1993 payroll

 

[TRUTH87]

Simple. Jerry and son didn’t want to risk not being “relevant,” and they have no idea how and where they are going to find the next QB.

Ought to be a fun next handful of years.

these idiots are scared of life after Prescott. they’ll drag this and hope they land someone in round 4 again

"He's the highest-paid player in the league, he's not the best player in the league"

Dont need Jimmy to tell anyone that, dumbest contract ever

the best player in the league is Mahomes and he is 12th highest AAV. so the highest paid and best don't necessarily align in NFL....its a carrosel of contracts signed each year. I mean Kyler Murray and Watson make more than Mahomes....on average per year and Kirk cousins is tied with Mahomes....

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

You can compare Dak to a Parasite sucking Cowboy blood to get FAT while the host suffers.............What is it now 0-4 vs the Niners?
Hmmmmmmmmmm Ya Parasite fits the Dakster 100%!

niiiccceee

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

Crippled this team.

how? we have 23M on the cap this year and chose Zeke over Henry...the issue is not the cap...its the idiot GM

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

I root for the Cowboys, not Dak, and Dak is going to hold the "Cowboys" hostage until that contract ends somehow.

Dak is going to be here through the end of his contract......unless a total disaster of the hurricane level 5 happens...Jerry doesn't let players go before their contracts end. check Jerry's record on that.

Jimmy ain't got no time for losers.

JIMMY JOHNSON COMES OUT FROM UNDER THE RING WITH A STEEL CHAIR!!! ITS ABSOLUTE PANDAMONIUM LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

Part of me thinks Jerry believes that if he pays a player like he is top-notch he will perform top notch. I don't know, only logical explanation. Either that or he is just dumb, could be both

actually Jerry checks Jersey sales before he hands out a contract. Dak was a top 20 Jersey sales and Jerry is going cha ching

 

[PAPPYDOG]

Dak's Final Push to sell Jerry on his last extension..............



Yes our GM must be going senile.............

Jimmy won 2 SBs when the salary cap wasn't an issue.

meh.

That's interesting. Would it surprise you that in 1992 we ranked 19th in playet salaries? Or that they weren't in the top 10 in 1993? What happened those two season? Oh right, Jimmy won 2 SBs.

No matter how you massage it, Deshaun Watson takes this prize. I'd also have to go back and see how Sam Bradford made so much money. Dak is up there, though.

The only positive thing I can think of is that we didn’t give up any draft collateral to sign Dak!



That’s all I got! The extension was an epic blunder!

 

[GoldenR]

Jimmy, This was going to be " my best football yet" season for Dak. Keep waiting for it Jimmy, it's coming! Comical.

 

[nate dizzle]

So, to be clear, you don't want our QB to succeed?

Doesn't matter what anyone wants, because he's not going to.

19th in 92 and then dropped to 23rd even after paying Troy and Emmitt.

You really think the year before free agency kicked in is a fair comparison?

Also they didn’t have to pay to keep everyone initially since the depth on that team was insane.

Once that was depleted, what happened?

 

[KingintheNorth]

Dak fan or not, the reality is that Stephen's mishandling of Dak's last deal led to this situation. Dak had all of the leverage again because the voidable years would have accelerated and crippled this team the next two years.

Jerry is a problem. Stephen is somehow making things significantly worse.

 

[CTcowboy203]

That doesn't mean you make him the top paid QB.. on opening day. Just a ridiculous decision for this team and a huge setback.

No but it means that on this issue I don’t really take jimmy’s opinion like gospel…easy to say no. Hindsight is 20/20 and I was fine moving on
