Matts4313 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 (edited) BTW - With how quickly Daks representation denied this to like 3 different news agencies... it seems highly unlikely Dak really wanted $40m. Which means I am sticking to what I said above. As long as his AAV is in the $27m range we should be fine. We can go slightly higher AAV than Wentz and pull that off because Dak is owed $2m in 2019 compared to Wentz @$8.5m. That means we can mirror Wentz's cap hits but actually pay ~$1-2m/year more. Dak at $33m x 4 years = $132M + 2019 $2m ------------------------- 5 years at $134m = $26.8M/yr $27m/190m cap = 14.2% That appears to be more than Wentz at $32m/year, but its actually a bit cheaper. Wentz is 4 year @128 + 8.5m 2019 = $136.5 or 14.4% of cap. Additionally Wentz has another $12m in incentives he can earn, which I assume we would offer Dak.

TheGame316 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 If I'm Dallas I put 28 million times 5 years, 100 million guaranteed on the table and let him sign it whenever. No State tax and all the endorsements from being the Cowboys QB can make up the difference If he doesn't sign it then I'll franchise him at the end of the year if he's worth it, or maybe I'll let him walk and sign a 15 million dollar game manager and build a really great defense and pay Zeke See if any other team wants to give Dak 30plus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he wanted to get noticed and go to a "Big School" then he should have played better in high school We don't owe anything to Dak for the previous 3 years or this one. He should be grateful Romo got hurt when he did or for all we know Romo could have played the last 2 or 3 seasons and Jerry might have replaced him with a big name FA and Dak would still be the backup He fell into a perfect situation with a top RB, a stout O-line and an up and coming young defense.

I mean, its as simple is just being the GOAT from 15 years old, right? 1 minute ago, TheGame316 said: We don't owe anything to Dak for the previous 3 years or this one.

If Dak sucks this year and isn't worth the Franchise tag I'd throw a contract offer at Bridgewater on the higher end (25mill), or a guy like Mariota or Dalton on the mid tier. (12-15mill short term). I would also seriously consider Brady if New England, for whatever reason moves on There's also the added bonus/factor that if Dak sucks, then the Cowboys probably sucked too and we'd be in the market for a new coach. Probably want that guy to have a say Edited August 13, 2019 by TheGame316 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WizardHawk Posted August 13, 2019 Author Share Posted August 13, 2019 Some food for thought..... https://twitter.com/SportsSturm/status/1161116924987805696/photo/1 The notion that there wouldn't be a deep line up of teams willing to give Dak $30m/yr is nauseating. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's true then I bet there is also a long list of teams with huge offers ready to trade for him 2 1sts and a 2nd?, Isn't that what RG3 went for? What was the price Philly traded to get Wentz? I'm ready to sell high Edited August 13, 2019 by TheGame316 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did everything we can for our players but if they don't leave us with option we'll need to face the reality of the situation. No player is more important than our franchise. Trade Dak for this season, maybe keep zeke, keep coop atleast. Tank & get T.Lawrence. and We'll aim for the SB again in couple years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we'd be bad enough to get Lawrence, but I'd let Dak play out his year and put a 1st round tender on him if we didn't want to keep him If he plays great, then Franchise tag and we'll talk again next offseason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been games where Dak played poorly and we won and games Dak played well and we lost. Not taking anything away from Dak but this team was setup in 2016 to win games. He played very well his rookie year but most rookie QBs dont walk into the situation he did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
