why is Dak allowing his contract saga to continue this long ? This is a great town with great state tax savings , and prime time endorsements , which Dak has already cashed in on . After all , Jerry selected Dak in the 4th round while others passed on him . Jerry surrounded him with the most expensive OL RB WR combos to succeed .

The cowboys need all the savings to fix the Defense . They spent the least money on defense among all NFL teams in 2020 61.4 Mil , except for the jets .

Yet ,Dak is not relenting one inch for the sake of this team like Mahomes or Brady and others did to help their teams .

look at the fabulous discount Mahomes gave the chiefs . A dream contract by all means for a super bowl winner . The chiefs were able to spend big on defense last year , spending 97 mil to stack up their defense ( 6th highest investment in defense among all teams ) . Mahomes cap hit was actually 5.3 mil in 2020 . If he continues to play this good , his cap hit will be 24.8 mil in 2021 , and 31.5 in 2022 . This is how you win Super Bowls !!!

In contrast, Dak’s cap hit last year was 31.4 Mil and now wants 40 mil a year.?? On top of the mistake expensive zeke and other contracts ?
This is how you remain irrelevant and 25 years away from a super bowl appearance !!

At least partially because Mahomes deal was redone during his rookie deal, giving him less leverage than a player closer to UFA.

Also IMO Daks agent has a selfish agenda in this case.

Last year was not relevant to the Mahomes extension because it had not kicked yet (he was still on year 4 of his rookie deal and the 5th year option is next year). As for the contract itself Mahomes took the equivalent of a fully guaranteed contract (because of how its structured) that pays him 45m per year and will 100% have to be extended 5 years in. That is not THAT much of a discount considering the guarantees he has.

As for Brady, he is not the breadwinner in that house. His wife makes more than he could get playing football by a significant margin.

What did the question in the title ask?

So why did Jerry waste 2 years of negotiation and cost his business over 40 million due to ego?

By the way why did Mahomes and little jimmy “g” choke in the biggest stage?

I could be wrong but, here is my shot at it. Dak is not Mahomes talented and he knows it. The market is what it is. This may be his shot a getting payed.

Mahomes has "it" in spades. Dak does not posses that trait but, he is capable of wining if you put talent around him. There inlays the problem because of the reduced cap and his 36-40 mil cap he would take up.

We have a pie people. How many slices can you manage to get out of it to win the slice challenge? If someone in this God for saken franchise is smart enough to figure it out, we win. Until then grow thicker skin!;)

:facepalm:Another poster who’s clueless. When Dak signs his contract his cap hit will not be 40 mil a year. Let me know if you need further explanation as to why.

oh.....i don't know.....maybe because he wants to get the most he can...while he can.
and on the other side.....they want to get the best deal they can.
i don't fault the player or the team.
they both are doing exactly what they 100% should be doing.
it ain't my money...so i'm not gonna sweat the details of a contract we haven't seen yet.

Because like Zeke, Dak is selfish and greedy.
From what we know of each of their personalities or situations, I disagree completely.

I don't recall Dak holding the team hostage during his rookie deal and heading to Cabo then returning unfit to play.

I don't recall Dak saying he needed a rest with the season on the line. Same game, ones shoulder is falling off and the other is out of breath.

I don't recall Dak getting himself suspended by surrounding himself with the wrong people.

I don't recall Dak discussing "low key faded" to the world.

And whatever else.....

I’d imagine it’s fairly easy to make minor concessions when you get the richest contract in sports history. On the heels of a first round contract, and are loved and adored by the fan base

Again where are you getting your info from that states Dak wants or wanted 40 mil. Because everything I read shows it was more about contract length than dollars

Jerry is low balling him hard, the stuff they put out was fluff. Show the acutal terms he turned down lying bum owner wannabe GM.

Dal played his first 4 years and make $4.2 million total while giving top 10 production. He shouldn’t be asked to give discounts. He has earned his pay raise. Zeke needs to be giving some discounts.

Mahomes will make his 200 million. More than enough money for many lifetimes, not including he’s the new face of the NFL.

Todd France is a greedy Bob Sugar clone. He’s the reason this hasn’t happened yet IMO.
