What’s to understand? Dak WILL get his money - whether it’s this year or five years from now. As it currently stands, Prescott’s 2024 cap hit is somewhere between $55-60 MM…
His salary cap hit does not indicate the pay he’s due for the 2024 season. All the guaranteed money owed Dak has already been paid. There was $34 million left on his $160 million four year deal. A roster bonus was due him March 18, which he was paid. That leaves a balance due of $29 million if he remains with the team for the 2024 season. Don’t confuse salary cap with pay. The Cowboys manipulated themselves into their current situation. They have remedies available to them, if they were inclined to use them. They could spread it over some more time. But they can’t make it disappear. If they cut him the hit comes all at once. Hence, the Cowboys quarterback for the 2024 season is Dak Prescott. Any more questions?
I call BS. I’ve seen too many sources cite that figure as between $55-60 MM. Better revisit your numbers.
Spotrac reports he has a base salary of $29 million in 2024 with a restructure bonus of $5 million. He was paid the $5 million on March 18. His cap hit is $55+ million this season, as of now. Cap hit and pay are not the same thing. Not the same thing. Try to reconcile that in your head. Revisit your numbers and information because you are wrong. You don’t understand the difference. Make a better effort.
Dak is getting paid $29M this year. The GM can choose to push money back and make him be a $55M cap hit.
In a nutshell.
The advent of FA during that time really made a significant difference, don't you think?
Even better if Dak didn't have a no trade clause. But, you'd have to think that he would be open to the idea knowing he's not wanted here anymore. It's not just Jerry that's sending that message, it's the majority of fans and even the players. When players families start speaking out you know they have been influenced in part by the players themselves it's not just their own personal opinions.
Wasn't it Larry Brown?
Larry Brown picked off O’Donnell in the SB, but much of the reason the team was even there was because Deion in the regular season practically taking away half of the field.
I edited after I realized my mistake.
No trade just forces a cut.
Jerry was never going to do that, there was no need to ever free up cap space for 2024.
I bet they said the same thing when we drafted Dak.
Jerry banks on grabbing cheap QBs, problem is overpaying for under performing lame ducks, and getting bent sideways by France.
Yeah, I don't get this argument. It's already happened at least once. Jerry and Garrett stupidly replaced Romo even though he was making a lot more money than Dak. Jerry doing stupid stuff (or even smart stuff) isn't predictable.
When Lance was demoted to 3rd string, Purdy had started a total of 5 regular season games. Who in their right mind would think that Purdy could prove himself after 5 regular season games? Lance lost the starting job because he is awful...
Cooper Rush could have won SBs with the teams Troy had..
