Because you'd figure that into the deal. His first year salary would be really low. So hypothetically if he would get a 5 year 100 mil contract, you would instead give him a 6 year 100 mil contract and he would get his signing bonus a year earlier for his trouble. That at least is why you sign a guy like that a year early.
He will be our Ryan Tannehill. No question in my mind.
Dak's gonna be the bridge to John Stephen Jones... bet on it.
How? I wouldnt rule that out at all.
Excellent point about the next generation of players. They've got some talent, and Jerry's gonna have to start paying that talent. Hard to believe that even a senile drunk like Jerry would be satisfied with a team full of well-paid stars going 8 - 8 or one and done in the playoffs.
I didn’t rule it out. I say at the moment it’s far fetched and that’s because he is a freshman at Arkansas and has yet to play a down at the college level. He is small for any standard but could gain height and pounds in time. He also could become injured moreso than the average player because of his size.
One of the biggest misconceptions that continues to be pushed for some strange reason. Every year people claim how Jerry is enamored with Arkansas players. Yet we've drafted what? 2-3 the entire time he's owned the team?
I cant think of any besides the small stint that McFadden was with us.
After that utterly retarded Garoppolo contract they almost have no choice. We've been playing on borrowed cap space under Dak's rookie deal and were paying Romo during much of it.
I know, but I believe there have been times in the past he had to be guided away from it.
I don't believe that. Every year, some lazy reporter tries to tag us to a player who we supposedly love, and the fans latch on to it. Yet we never take them.
Stephen said he had to talk Jerry out of Manziel.
