It's about money for both sides... It's called negotiating, no one is holding anyone hostage. That's just a bunch of overly dramatic bullshit.Except the Cowboys are actually offering a multi year mega contract. It's not like they are offering just the franchise tag deal, take it or leave it.
The multi year mega contract they are offering is apparently not enough.
Too many people in this thread defending Dez based off him having the right to want to secure his long term future. The Cowboys are offering exactly that. So this is about money, nothing more.
Granted he has every right to ask for whatever he wants. But the fact that he is threatening to hold the franchise hostage over squeezing every last dollar makes me unhappy.
I never understood why fans always blame the player in these situations... Dez is only getting $12.8 mil for one year... poor baby. Just suck it up and take it. Dez is asking for Megatron money... He's being ridiculous. He'll never get that much.
The player always loses. What about the owner/GM/franchise who are playing hardball sitting back, getting fat and happy and watching their revenues pour in on the backs of these players? They don't get any blame for the long negotiations?
Dez is about to sign a deal... Great for him and great for the franchise. It took until the deadline for the Cowboys to get serious apparently. If he agrees to the offer on the table, he likely would have agreed to it two weeks ago, but the team didn't want to increase their offers.
Trying to blame this on all Dez when he's asking for pennies on the dollars of the value and revenues of this franchise is just ridiculous. The team has a big part in it as well.
