It's a tricky one. If it means paying Dalton $15M per vs. paying $30M per (or something) for Dak.... eh.... MOST QBs would be rivaling Dak's stats given the offense he's in. Top 5 OL, top 5 RB, good WR weapons and they just added Lamb. LOL, hell I could throw for 1,000 yards and a couple TDs with that and I've never played organized football.

Either way Cowboys are the clear winners. There's a good chance due to COVID that the cap is going to take a massive hit next year due to decreased league funding. No team will be able to pay Dak what he wants lol. Dalton is a GREAT insurance policy if Dak is going to sit for a year.

I still believe Dak and the Cowboys come to terms on a new contract.

I've been watching this Dak/DAL dance from a distance.

If DAL truly does want to keep Dak long term...I think they have to be at $70 mil guaranteed over the 1st two seasons because if they tag him again next yr...that's roughly what he will cost...so I would look for a deal to be done as well.

Reports are they are already guaranteeing 105M.
By all reports the stalemate is over contract length. Dak wants only 4 years Dallas is at least 5.
Now it's possible Dallas is trying 6 or 7 years because they like the flexibility to push salary back into years 6 and 7 for cap purposes after the deal is signed.

So length of contract is the main issue?

Oh yeah? Would you be willing to play for the league minimum?

Uh, $500K and front row seats + top medical crews + food service? Sure.

Not sure what your point is. I'm saying that while Dak will probably get a mega contract, given his supporting cast I'm not sure it makes sense for the Boys to give him one.

I don't buy that the guaranteed money being offered is the same for both a 4 and 5 year deal. If he wants 4 years then he gets less guaranteed money. So if it is $105M @5 years then it is $95M for 4 years or if it is $105M for 4 years then it is $115M for 5 years. I also don't buy that any reports are totally accurate. Even the actually headlines that come out after every single big contract are misleading. The devil is in the details = look at Amari's contract and Wentz's and most other deals that were tweeted one way, from I assume the agent, and then after further review were much different.

My point is you couldn't throw for 1,000 yards...
Of course I thought that was obvious in my post and I thought you were joking anyway because I hope you don't actually believe you could.

Plus it's the same old story. Dak has a OL that isn't playing great and no WRs for a year and a half and he sucks. He gets better help around him and throws for All Pro type numbers and it's the other players. It's OK, we are used to it. FYI - the problem last year was we couldn't run in big spots. The passing Offense was great for the most part.

I agree the guarantee money offered is on a 5 or more year deal. What's not being reported is Daks salary and guarantee he wants in a four year deal.

Seems like this will get done for 5.
