Dak Extended - 4 yrs 240 million

[NoDak]

Remember when Troy Aikman signed that 50mil contract? FOR EIGHT YEARS?



Jesus Christ, these salaries have spiraled WAAAAY out of control.

 

[Genghis Khan]

Disagree. Why should he wait? He just got the richest contract in history. Why risk injury before signing something like that?

You see guys all the time wanting the contract now, the stability of the signed contract. Especially with how so much of them are guaranteed now. Guys are always mentioning the piece of mind knowing they're covered for injury.

Yep, he grew up a Cowboys fan, clearly still likes the organization, and they offered him the richest contract in the history of the league. Why wouldn't he sign it?

Jesus Christ, these salaries have spiraled WAAAAY out of control.

And he was the highest paid player in the league when he got the deal too.

Crazy.

I hope these morons sign Parsons now and don't wait until last possible moment and pay even more, but we all know that history will likely repeat itself as always does with this organization.

You really think they've learned their lesson and are going to be proactive to save money?

Jerry's values the media attention these public contract spats draw. My guess is Parsons' contract will be a point of contention heading into training camp next summer.

 

[Genghis Khan]

If he's worth paying that much he shouldn't need a team of All-Pros at every position.

Jerry admitted in that SAS interview that he didn't take as many risks now as when he was younger.

Jerry gave in because he's terrified of another Quincy-Hutch period, even if that means we have little chance of a Superbowl.

Which betrays the front office's laziness and lack of imagination. Love and Jackson were found late in the first, but by golly we can't do any better than Dak.

This Browns Cowboys game will break the NFL record for most QB guaranteed $$$ spent per disappointment

Frankly, I don't blame him for this. He knows he only has a few short years left. Why would he want to spend them in the bottom 1/3 of the league while trying to find another QB? Maybe he catches lightning in a bottle and the planets align for him. In his mind, that's a better outcome than a rebuild.

Does it suck for us? Yep. But I can understand why he would do this.

Yeah, let's just call it now: Parsons signs the morning before opening weekend next year.

 

[Genghis Khan]

No matter what he says in front of a camera, he knows damn well that he doesn't deal with pressure well.

I don't agree with this. I don't think he believes that. We can only speculate of course but most elite athletes believe in themselves pretty strongly.

I'd bet he believes it's only a matter of time before he breaks through.

 

[Bill Shatner]

Jimmy is on Fox right now saying Dak is the guy, he's not the problem, he needs a better supporting cast, "give him a chance."

He's had incredible talent around him over the years, Jimmy.

Oh well. We all called it, this was already done and they just wanted the publicity of announcing it today.

What the fuck else does he need?

This year's failure will be blamed on no running game I'm guessing.

 

[Genghis Khan]

Yep. Yet again a terrible deal for the Jones'.

 

[Genghis Khan]

Right. He's content playing for a team that doesn't care if he performs in crunch time. It's his "safe space." Why Jerry is rewarding this mentality is anyone's guess.

I haven't durred you in a while.

 

[Cowboysrock55]

Literally everybody here has seen this coming with both Dak and Lamb all off-season.

We all knew 60 a year was the mark. It's pure show that this shit doesn't get done sooner. I'm not even particularly excited for the game today. I feel like the team will flop because no one is prepared.

And the coach. Ben Johnson or Bobby Slowik will fix everything. Trust Jerry on this.

 

[bbgun]

a hamburger, a milkshake, a running game, ...

What do you bet they didn't do this earlier in camp because then people would talk about all the freed-up cap space they weren't using?

Im surprised Jerruh didn’t do a Peacock-only streamed announcement, gender reveal style.

 

[NoDak]

The 100mil a year QB. Coming soon, to an NFL season near you.

And then they'll give him 38/year when they could probably get him for like 35 right now.
