Cowboys sign Prescott to a 4 year contract

I thought we could only use it twice?

No we can use it next year but the cost is absurd. Something in the 50 some mil range.

Each year it goes up by around 20% of the previous year's salary. So it would be 54.4 the following season and if anyone were stupid enough to do it in the range of 90 the next year. It grows exponentially by the year

I've always thought you could franchise a player twice and they earn FA after that.

Used to be that way but they added a third year sometime recent.

Sure, I mean Dak has the leverage. The best we can do is give him what we think he would get on the open market. Otherwise if it's all about money for Dak he might as well wait a year and get the money.

His ass will have a cool $70 mil after this second tag. Averaging $35 over these two seasons .

Good. Let's move along.

Rap initially reported 4 years, 160 mill but deleted the tweet, so I'm looking for the true APY.

 

[Genghis Khan]

Thought I saw 4 / 160 but the tweet was deleted.

 

[Cotton]

I guess the APY is 40 mill. That will be cheap in 3-4 years.

That's the one I saw too. Not sure if he deleted it because it was wrong or his source didn't want it out there yet.

At this point I will absolutely take it.

Yep, Dak got his 4 years, and he is about to be below market value.

This is a good contract for both sides. Dak gets his 4 years. Cowboys get their franchise QB. 40 mill per could have been worse.

It isn't for the dumbasses who didn't want him back and thought this stupid franchise could just draft a guy.
