While they continue to sit back and waste $9 million a year on a defensive lineman (I'm too classy to name names) who isn't even a true starter!
Yeah, this thing strikes me as pride and hubris. Stephen and Jerry have bungled this latest contract extension with Dak the same way they've botched the prior two - first with Lawrence, and then with Elliott. And now they feel that they have to 'win' on some part of the contract extension, even of it's costing them more and more. They've lost, and lost' and lost again on the money side of things, so now all that's left that they think they can win on are the years of the contract. And they're not winning there either.
They'll ultimately cave, Dak will get that four year deal, and then the Jones boys will go about selling it to the masses that they actually did well. It's then up to the sheep, lemmings, and suckers as to whether they choose to believe that bullshit or not.
