Because without the . . . "COWBOYS" WIN/LOSS Record . . . Dak is Painfully AverageBecause QB's are largely judged on their won/loss record.............................

Genius . . . Couldn't have Said it better . . If you Can't Say Something NICE
I think Wentz deal to happen before Dak's is a huge plus for both sides. I wouldn't be mad if they both got the exact same deal.Lets make no mistake about this, Wentz gave the Eagles a massive hometown discount. With remaining money owed ($154 M) and 6 years that is an avg of $25.7 Mill year. If Wentz even sniffs another MVP type year, that contract becomes most favorable team contract in all of sports. Wentz is only the #9th highest paid QB in football with top 3 potential. Garoppolo & Stafford are still ahead of him in avg yearly number (let that sink in). Wentz contract will allow Eagles to be aggressive in FA or resigning their players.
Now for Cowboys, Wentz hometown discount contract put Dallas in a bad spot because Dak will want more. That won't play out well on national or local level because most see Wentz as superior talent. Every game Dak contract will be compared to Wentz. Every losing streak will come back to Dak contract. Its really this simple. Since Wentz & Dak new contracts are happening at same time, If Dak makes more money then he has to out-perform Wentz over next six years. IMO thats wishful thinking.
This Post gets a Face Palm . . . Weak and a little PatheticThe Eagles have one Championship in the history of the modern NFL, you don't think they've given you enough reason for distrust?
Jerry has given us Three Championships, all in his first 7 seasons, and I don't trust our front office.
Jerry always falls in love with a player and negotiates against himself
Replaceable by who? Fans like to say this, but there aren’t even enough quality QBs for the 32 teams, so clearly it’s not that easy to find them. Even if the Cowboys had a top 10 draft pick in 2020 (they won’t) the odds of getting an EJ Manuel or RG III or Jake Locker or Blaine Gabbert is higher than getting a Pat Mahomes or Jerod Goff.The Cowboys are only in a "precarious situation" if they allow themselves to be pigeonholed into it. They don't have to be. There is no one who can order Dallas to sign Dak to an exorbitant contract, save for the Cowboys themselves. If they want to let Dak walk, they can. If they want to low-ball him to a low contract and dare him to sign elsewhere, they can. Dak is replaceable.
We need to stop this NFL trend of team finances being held hostage by one marquee QB who eats up a disproportionately large amount of the cap.

That contract was wild. It was like the long term lottery payout. Have they quit paying him yet?Surprised no one in the NFL, has not set up a Bobby Bonnilla type contract like him and his agent did with the Mets.

This man watched his team win a Super Bowl a couple years ago. . . Which was a result of all the Right Moves that Front Office made
Meanwhile the COWBOYS. . . Not so much. . . Jerry publicly berated And Ran off Jimmy Johnson . . . Then when Jerry had the ULTIMATE WEAPON in Zeke in 2016. . . He decided to Ride with the Inaccurate Inexperienced "ROOKIE . . . Genius !!! . . . Pure Genius
Yeah As Far as TRUST GOES . . . I put Mine In McClay only . . . But as far as OutSmarting Jerry I give the Edge to Philly

The Mets owed Bonilla $5.9 million for the 2000 season and no longer wanted him. So the club negotiated with Gilbert to attach an 8 percent annual interest rate to that money. With the clock starting in 2000, that adds up to $29.8 million. The first installment of the payout came on July 1, 2011, and the Mets will pay their sixth installment on Friday.
2035. 1.19m$ every July 1st.

They are reportedly far apart on a deal right now... IMO, the Wentz deal sets things up nicely for Dak’s team.
1. He has better numbers pretty much across the board
2. He is more durable and available
3. He has a better W/L record head to head vs Wentz since they came into the league
Any agent worth his salt is going to ask for more money than Wentz based on that. Wentz has the pedigree and is the consensus “more talented player”— but Dak can point to some legitimate rationale as to why he should be paid comparably or more than Wentz.
Dallas has one point of leverage: time. They don’t “have” to sign Dak this year. They can roll the dice and make him prove it this year. They can punt and use the franchise tag next year if they have to. That may in fact be what happens.
Of course, they are screwed if Dak outperforms Wentz and plays well this year... next year he will be asking for top 5 money and would potentially have some skins on the wall and Dallas will be in essentially the same boat they were in with D Law this year.
Comes down to this:
If Dallas wants Dak as their QB— they will be paying him 30 mil + per year for his services.
Only way he makes less is if he craters this year, but that doesn’t seem likely.
Nice post although I do believe there are other factors and things considered. The supposed hometown discount Wentz gave is really all that. Factor into Wentz deal his injury history and not just his NFL injury history but his college injury history. Odds are that he will end up sitting games every year due to some injury and if another ACL type it could end his career depending which knee it is. Wentz isn't dumb because getting $100 million plus in guarantee's means he is set. What if he suffered another injury this season, do you think Eagles give this type of contract, doubtful. And how many games has Dak missed or been injuried enough not to play. As to talent, it is in the eye of the beholder. Most fans are going by how high the pick is so Wentz must be better.Lets make no mistake about this, Wentz gave the Eagles a massive hometown discount. With remaining money owed ($154 M) and 6 years that is an avg of $25.7 Mill year. If Wentz even sniffs another MVP type year, that contract becomes most favorable team contract in all of sports. Wentz is only the #9th highest paid QB in football with top 3 potential. Garoppolo & Stafford are still ahead of him in avg yearly number (let that sink in).

You just like his name!Excellent post!
Some NFL players would be better in the long run with a contract like that. Amazing how many of them end up broke.No, after this year payout which has already taken place think he has one or 2 more installments.
Edit, just Google him and they on July 1st till 2035 he will get close to $2M. H--- this guy has not suited up since the mid 90's. Wow! Everyone should be trying to get his attorney.
