Procus Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 There is a line between negotiation and stupidity. If this is true and Prescott turned this down, I think he just crossed that line. https://www.foxnews.com/sports/dak-prescott-offered-deal-cowboys-nfl-insider-says Quote Dak Prescott offered five-year, $175 million deal from Cowboys, NFL insider says By Ryan Gaydos | Fox News Dak Prescott is looking for a monster contract from the Dallas Cowboys, and the latest reported offer might be the one he eventually inks. Prescott was offered a five-year, $175 million contract from the Cowboys, which would make him the highest-paid quarterback in NFL history, NBC Sports’ Chris Simms reported Wednesday during an interview on 105.3 The Fan in Dallas. The two-time Pro Bowler is reportedly seeking more than $45 million per year to play for Dallas. JERRY JONES SAYS COWBOYS NOT CONCERNED WITH DAK PRESCOTT CONTRACT: 'IT'S NOT IN A LIST OF PRIORITIES' "From what I know of the situation, alright, and I know from some people who are in the know, he’s been offered five years, $175 million,” Simms said. "He wants a four-year deal. If they do agree to a five-year deal, they would like a really big number at the end of that fifth year to cover their butts for what the market might be at the position five years from now. And I’ve heard he’s asking for somewhere like north of $45 million in that fifth year.” According to ESPN, Prescott and the Cowboys are at a stalemate over contract length. Prescott reportedly wants a shorter contract than what the Cowboys are offering him. The 2016 Offensive Rookie of the Year has not had a losing season since taking the reins from Tony Romo prior to the start of the 2016 season. Since then, he’s racked up 15,778 passing yards, 97 touchdown passes, and 36 interceptions. COWBOYS' LEGEND EMMITT SMITH 'NOT CONCERNED' OVER PRESCOTT STALEMATE: 'THE COWBOYS WILL GET IT DONE' Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott threw for more than 4,000 passing yards last season. (AP Photo/Ron Jenkins) He has played in every game since taking over and had his best season yet in 2019. He recorded 4,902 passing yards with 30 touchdown passes and only 11 interceptions. However, the Cowboys sputtered during the season,finishing with an 8-8 record and missing out on an NFC East title. Prescott was given the franchise tag by the Cowboys to start the season while he reportedly remained committed to getting a new deal. Should he get the deal he was looking for, he would make more money than other quarterbacks who have won Super Bowls. Prescott has only appeared in three playoff games, winning one during the 2018 season. COWBOYS SIGNING ANDY DALTON WAS 'OUT OF LINE,' FORMER WIDE RECEIVER DEZ BRYANT SAYS It’s unclear whether the Cowboys and Prescott will get a deal hammered out. Dallas has already given contract extensions to Ezekiel Elliott, Jaylon Smith, La’el Collins, DeMarcus Lawrence, and Amari Cooper since April 2019. Cowboys team owner Jerry Jones said last month he wasn’t concerned about the contract situation as the team prepared for the draft. "It's not in a list of priorities, as you could imagine, with everything that we all are dealing with, as well as what we're doing with the draft,” he told reporters, according to ESPN. "So I don't have a time frame, but I'm not concerned about that at all as to any of those issues. And again, no surprises here; no surprises on the amount that the franchise counts against the [cap]; no surprise that we're sitting here, relative to where we are, without a long-term agreement.” CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM Sources told ESPN that Prescott does not plan to participate in the Cowboys’ offseason program until both sides agree to a long-term contract.

I bet a lot of that is tied to incentives. Dak seems to be using Kirk Cousin's playbook. Seriously, if I was the Cowturds I would have shopped Dak around before the draft, gotten some picks for him, then signed someone else. Maybe I've had too much haterade, but I believe a guy like Cam Newton would not be much of a drop-off from Dak. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UK_EaglesFan89 Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 It's hilarious the Cowgirls are in this position and long may it continue. So he wants $45M in the last year? But we all know that last year, sometimes last two, don't mean a great deal and teams can usually get out of them so surely that's not the sticking point?

Procus Posted May 22, 2020 Author Share Posted May 22, 2020 The stupidity of all of this is that the cap very well could go down this year, and if he goes on a tag, Dak's value could be significantly less next year even if he plays well in 2020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nipples Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 So if he signs that Dallas will have: highest paid QB, highest paid RB, 2nd highest paid WR. Good luck keeping a competent team around that core. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoconoDon Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Jerruh doesn't make that offer unless he knows the cap is going up. $35 mil per pear average is very good. Hope Dak gets them up to $40 Mil...fully guaranteed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering that there is a high probability that there won’t be fans in the stadium for some or all games this year, I would be SHOCKED if the cap went up. If anything it could go down.

If this problem extended into multiple years then I agree it goes down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gch Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Well the league also has these TV deals coming up which will bring in a lot of money. Let’s face it the rich will get richer and the rest of us well they really don’t care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the last 3 years, we have a superbowl win and 3 straight playoff berths. Cowboys have almost nothing to show for being in good "financial shape" and being "so good at the draft". All that BS means nothing if you can't win a damn thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
