MonserinNC Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 This is one of those things where in the NBA you pay Brandon Ingram a max contract.....you ain't winning no titles with Brandon Ingram on a max deal!!! Like with Zeke i think its the NFL's most expensive backfield. Plus Amari Cooper......this is an all in move when you have like a pair of jacks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwibrown Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Cowboys have the most over payed qb and rb tandem. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stl4life07 Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 The problem with Dallas is they overpay good players. Zeke was a great player but we all know about backs. Gurley, Bell, and Johnson. Cooper is a really good receiver but he ain’t Hopkins, Thomas, or Julio. Then on top of that Dallas used a 1st round pick on Lamb who they think could be a stud one day in the same class as those I just mentioned. They paid both Lawrence and Smith big deals and neither have come close to living up to their contracts on defense. They paid their guys on the OL and the main constant is Martin. Smith is always hurt now. So with Dallas I say it’s bad for them to give Dak this huge deal but it’s great for Dak to get paid. Hopefully he can come back from this injury just fine but as constructed the roster is still talent on paper and might be a lot of overrated talent. Poor coaching and a lot of money tied up. This has the makings to go from bad to worse. Dallas fans laugh at how the Eagles have fallen off but at least they got a Superbowl in the process. It’s been 25yrs since Dallas even been to the NFCCG and giving Dak this big contract along with all the other big contracts to players who are good at best not great or elite along with poor coaching it’s going to be even longer for Dallas to even get to the NFCCG. But again great for Dak getting paid. He is a good guy and a solid player with great leadership skills. I don’t think he can win championships with this roster and coaching staff so now this contract is going to bring another level of expectations that if he don’t deliver its going to make him look terrible but for me it’s all on Jerry.

Kiwibrown Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 This is going to keep happening until there are 36 starting level qbs in the nfl. I'd sooner have Dak than not have him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N4L Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 6 hours ago, Broncofan said: I think most will agree the numbers are insane. Dak just got a little less than Mahomes AAV wise, albeit for fewer years. And I think we know he's not that good, or even close. But here's the thing - fans are going to be in for a MASSIVE shock at what the premium position players who sign extensions will get. 2021-only deals will be bargain ones because the cap is so tight for this year, because of the lost stadium revenue last year being recouped this year. But that's the ONLY reason the 2021 cap isn't higher than 210M (the original number pre-Covid). And here's the kicker - TV revenue for 2021 & then 2022+ is going to infusive a massive amount of revenue to the NFL. MASSIVE. MNF money and the 17th game already has increased the 2021 revenue from 175M to likely 188M (Denver's NFLPA rep stands by this #). And that increase would have been on top of the original pre-Covid 210M that was estimated. 2022's cap number pre-Covid was supposed to 220M+ - PLUS the extra TV money. The extra TV money from MNF was 30 percent increase. The Sunday games apparently are at least 50 percent, if not double the prior money. And TV revenue accounts for 60 percent of the league money. What that means - for 2022+, as long as fans are back in the stadiums this fall, then expect the cap to be 230-240M to begin with, and quickly get past 250M, and maybe as high as 300M by the time 2024 rolls around. That's the very clear math if the TV money increase is legit. Now, for sure, 40M is still 13% of the team cap, and it's debatable if teams can make that work. But Brady's 25M was 12.6% of this year's cap (albeit with a team that had 3 amazing draft years to help get a complete team roster). The big part - 35M is going to be the new 25M standard we see QB's judged by, and 40M is the new 30M+. When the cap goes up, the size of the premium contract salaries is what goes up the most. I said it before, I'll plant my flag again - Baker, Lamar, Kyler & Josh Allen are all getting 35M+ AAV, and Allen is likely getting 40M+. And it will likely be a LOT closer to 40M than 35M now. That's a big reason why teams wanted to try and lock up the young QB's instead of the 5th year option this year - they all knew this cap increase, and the bump in scale, was coming. Dak was just the first domino to fall. We're about to see 4-5 more this offseason and next. This was a very long post to say: Patrick Mahomes will regret signing that dumb contract. I said it when it happened, that was so foolish of him. There was no reason to sign such a long deal. He gave up too much on the back end and didn't get enough up front. Dak will get 75m in cash in year one. Mahomes got 10. Mahomes left potentially 100m or more on the table. That's nuts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's likely going to make $500 million (not counting endorsements or anything else). Something tells me he's not going to regret anything.
