DMD Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Prescott has only made about $4 million or so over his career so far. So the upgrade is head-spinning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaft Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 (edited) It makes sense. They were going to franchise him and that would cost them $31 million. In two years, that tag would cost almost $70 million. People need to remember this is a business. Either give him a contract or cut him because that franchise tag will start to add up.

Henry Muto Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 He probably won't take it. Mahomes must be worth $300 million based on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finn5033 Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 (edited) I keep hearing that the Cowboys want to do a 5 year deal. Apparently Dak’s agent is saying if they take a 5 year deal they want the 5th year to be guaranteed 45 mil. I’ve heard that a couple times on various sports talk shows. Don’t know if it’s actually true Edited May 22, 2020 by Finn5033 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had assumed it was that they wanted the last year to look like $45 million, which we all know is completely meaningless. If I was Dak I would sit tight, pop up some popcorn, and let Jerrah negotiate with himself as he likes to do. Worked for Zeke just fine.

He's going to get whatever he wants. The Jerrah has no other choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes too much sense for Jerrah. He'd rather overpay for an overated Dak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ballsy move and could really alienate the fan base but what if it worked? No one would do this for Mahomes or Watson say (well...let's not put it past Billy O'Brien) but for the next tier down...maybe?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I’m remembering correctly Dak’s team wants less years because the QB market and pay changes so fast. So he wants something big and guaranteed for that final year if he’s going to sign a 5 year deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whomper Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 If the Cowboys let Dak walk , I think there will barely be a market for him . He should take whatever they offer him and consider himself lucky . He sucks 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think the should sign dalton for 50%, keep dak or draft a new one next year? No way do I sign Dak long term for big money. Dalton isn’t the long term answer but he would be much cheaper than what Dak is looking for and just as productive . Yes, I draft A qb next year.

Actually it was almost $5M (4.9) according to this, but still that contract he was offered is a huge upgrade, and probably more than he is worth. I'm not sure how much of the Cowboys success he's contributed to. Sure they have not had a losing season during his 4 years, but two of those were 8-8 and 9-7 and missed the playoffs. Their two playoff appearances didn't net much, losing to GB at home when they went 13-3 and winning one game before losing to Rams when they went 10-6.

League_Champion Posted May 28, 2020 Author Share Posted May 28, 2020 The NFC East was one of the worst divisions in football last year. The Cowboys had that division by the balls till Dak choked down the stretch. The Eagles were a walking MASH unit with no weapons and somehow still won that crap division. That's why Dak isn't worth top 5 money, he's not a winner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you can pin the Cowboys' mediocrity on Dak. Jason Garrett was a mindblowingly bad coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
