Which market? If it's the one where we can win a super bowl, then a big contract is not what the market will bear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Give him what the market bears.

They've already offered him a contract that was not a lowball, so I'm not really getting your point.The problem here is that your second and third options (offer Dak something he'll never accept) are the same as your fourth and fifth options. If they plan to lowball him, they either intend to have him play on the tag or exit as a free agent.
Those voting for him to play on tag........careful what you ask for. Oddsmakers have us a top 5 favorite to win the Super Bowl. When you consider he has a new coach, a new toy, better D, it's not a reach at all. Now imagine getting there and Dak's a free agent ( yes I'm ware they could tag again ) we now have to try and sign AFTER Mahomes and Watson deals. What do you think $35M will look like then?
Don't even think about trading him......you don't trade a young Super Bowl QB.
My point, SIGN HIM NOW! I don't wanna take chance on his value getting any higher than $35-36M.
Mahomes will get that but Watson won't!At this point it’s a train wreck. Mahomes and Watson are about to sign and both will get $40M per year.
Dak’s future is one year on the franchise tag and a new quarterback in 2021. Sad but true.
We have that issue either way. Dak and CAA want a three year deal. So regardless, we are going to face that situation in the short term either way you look at it.
If dalton costs 3 million , then 15 Mil is more than fair for Dak . Dak was not a factor in all games against winning records , nor when the run game was stopped by opposition)g defenses .
Defense is key to reach Super Bowls , not a mediocre QB who wants to bankrupt the team coz he thinks he is at par with mahomes and Wilson . Stats are for fools ... it is a W/L game and Super Bowls are all what people care about or remember .
Bingo.The problem here is that your second and third options (offer Dak something he'll never accept) are the same as your fourth and fifth options. If they plan to lowball him, they either intend to have him play on the tag or exit as a free agent.
Who thinks 35 is a lowball? I haven't seen that. Some think that if (as has been hinted at) he's asking for $45M--or an overall $37M AAV--to sign on for the fifth year, they should give it to him, but that's not the same as calling the current (reported) offer a lowball. Offering him $25-29, an option in the poll, is an obvious lowball that would be rejected out of hand.
I think Dak should do whatever he thinks is in his best interest. I also think the Cowboys made a pretty big mistake not getting an extension done last year. I also think he'll be signed by July 15, but I don't think that with a super-high degree of confidence.
So why not face it now, rather than risking the chance of him getting to the NFCCG or Super Bowl and increasing his value. Guess I'm saying, lock him now, even if it's only 3-4 years and save $$$. Honestly, if he's refusing to sign a 5-year deal now, he sure as hell not signing with an increasing market value.
Dak's side wants 4 years. Cowboys want a 5th year.
Ever think about the most likely origin of CAA putting into the public domain that they want a 3 year deal?
They already know along term deal is a non-runner and is not on the table. The way they see it, Dallas can keep him for another 2 years on the tag with no year to year risk, but with a heavy guaranteed salary price tag in each year. They're trying to move the Cowboys from 2 to 3 years with a lower per annum guaranteed portion (than the annual tag amount) of the contract in exchange for the longer deal. Contract can be announced as whatever stupid amount you can think of because they'll pad it with unattainable bonuses.
This is not accurate. Dak and CAA want 3 years and that's been stated. He has agreed to 4 but that's not what he wants. He will take 4 years at whatever deal but the team does not want 4 years, they want 5 and Dak and CAA already know this, which is why they put the excessive 5th year price out there. They know it's excessive and I suspect they don't believe the team will meet their counter so if that is accurate, what we will eventually see, IMO, is Dak on the Tag and a revert back to the three year requirement from Dak's agent.
My original statement is not inaccurate. Dak's team wants 3 years.
Which would put him in the range of Goff and Wentz.The problem is that all of your choices are less than he wants. Unless maybe you mean 35/yr for 4 years, but with 105 guaranteed.
