I can't disagree.
They got lucky there. If Jerry had his way we would have traded for Lynch. Add that to Jerry wanting to draft Johnny Football instead of Zack Martin. Jerry can't help himself
I still Thank Denver!

I think if you want apples to apples, Dak's play did not warrant $40M per at the time his first contract expires. Lawrence is 24 years old. I think if he were 31 like Dak and still only had 2 playoff wins, that would be a different deal
i don't think so either.
If Dak takes a penny under $55M I'll take a month off from the Hoop. That's the absolute minimum he will accept right now. And it's only going up in the future. That's why this whole negotiation is maddening to me. If the Cowboys want to keep Dak, he was the runner up for MVP. Pay him. Months ago. But it's insane to not have a deal hammered out by now if they intend to keep him. If they wait till after the season and give him $58-60M per after $55M is the number now I will lose my mind
don't do that.
Smart kid playing the long game. Always works with the team. Knows he's great and will make he's money, but also understands that Rings is the reason Troy Aikman and soon Tom Brady make more in the booth than they did on the field. Romo makes a lot because he wore that Star his whole career. Dak should consider that too IMO
Man that's the surest thing I've ever posted though. I saw his first extension negotiation. I give Dak and his agent credit, they annihilated Jerry in negotiations. Got max money, a short term that would get them another deal after 4 years, no franchise tag, a no trade clause. They couldn't have bent Jerry over any farther. And they are set up to murder him even worse. Jerry has Trey Lance and a future draft pick as his back up plan SMH. Dak can walk after the season and the Cowboys get nothing but a comp pick. Dak will be the first in his prime MVP to hit the market in...ever? If he hits the open market and there is a bidding war, the number will be INSANE. The Cowboys know this so what are they waiting for if they want to keep him? He isn't taking $52M when there are 3 guys out there getting $55M, that's absolutely laughable. $55M at this (too late) point would be the best case scenario for them.
Can we get a MVP of the superbowl for $55 mill? If that only gets me season mvp shit, I want to move on. MO.
Yep. Dak is a good player. But he has always had a very talented roster. Maybe not as complete as the Niners, but he had Tyron, Zack, Fredrick, Zeke, Dez, Cole Beasley, Sean Lee...lots of talent. Last year he had Cee Dee Lamb, Tony Pollard, Zack Martin, Tyron Smith, Tyler Smith, Ferguson, Micah, DLaw and Diggs till the injury. Every year we have had a talented team and ZERO playoff success. This season may be the worst overall roster we have had on a while and we are about to have to pay half the cap space we have to 3 players. The cast won't get better goong forward. It's hard to imagine Dak leading us farther in the playoffs
