There is a line between negotiation and stupidity.  If this is true and Prescott turned this down, I think he just crossed that line.

Dak Prescott offered five-year, $175 million deal from Cowboys, NFL insider says

 

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.

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.

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.”

Sources told ESPN that Prescott does not plan to participate in the Cowboys’ offseason program until both sides agree to a long-term contract.

He has an insanely crazy view of himself

Where's the sane people around him that should be saying "take the Fing deal"? :lol:

That's the big question.  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.

One thing Dak has over Cam is staying healthy

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?

He will most likely hold out for 200 million 🤡

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

QB money has spiraled so far up into the stratosphere that I don't even know what's too much money these days

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.

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.

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.

I think the league can absorb a 1 year hiccup without a drop in the cap. 2021 should be business as usual. If this problem extended into multiple years then I agree it goes down.

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.

Oh they may be. This is not old JJ way of doing business this is Stephen Jones who has done an outstanding job of getting this team cleaned up and under the cap. He doesn’t get any credit for it though.

You also don’t have a QB locked up long term yet either. That tends to take up a significant chunk of cash.

Lol...financial shape. Who cares. 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.

There’s gotta be a pic of Dak next to "delusions of grandeur” in the dictionary. How did this mediocre QB get such an overinflated view of himself?

It’s part of the culture of the team he plays for.
