ramssuperbowl99 Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 Thank god Jerry negotiated it down to $231MM guaranteed. That way they can cut him in the last year of his deal for a measly $51MM cap hit instead of $60MM. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nabbs4u Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 (edited) 2 hours ago, CWood21 said: EVERYONE and their dogs knew the Cowboys were going to pay a premium for him. Not only a premium but damn near guaranteeing the entire contract for the next 4 yrs. $231M of $250M contract? The only reason it wasn't fully would be the Deshaun Watson comparisons. The jokes within the NFL/Media. Lets be real, that's close enough to a fully guaranteed contract. It will be comical after another failed season this year to watch Jerry and Fans sit there and say, thats my $60M QB. Next year is our year!

lavar703 Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 42 minutes ago, ronjon1990 said: Well he sure ain't winning anything else of note. It was funner when QBs actually had to accomplish something to reset the market. Nowadays, just be a viable starter and need a new contract Dak is much better than a “viable starter”. He’s about as close to elite as you can get without being elite. Not paying him would’ve been stupid. The alternative is to let him walk and spend years in purgatory trying to find another one.

Soko Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 Insane guarantees, but expected. Does it have a no trade and no tag clause again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VigilantZombie Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 I get why they did this, but at the end of the day, while Dak is not without talent, he also hasn't been able to elevate the team to a SB. There is significant risk in this contract because of that fact alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already has not only a SB appearance but SB MVP type performance on his resume? Has as many playoff wins in 4 years as Daks 8? Sure there are similarities. Niether is RG3 or Kirk Cousins. Well 1 of the two isn't. Edited September 8 by Nabbs4u Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
