Dak Prescott turns down 30m, wants 40m per year

Dak should have taken the 30 million dollar offer. He just doesn't have the it factor like Staubach or Aikman. Plus he doesn't have a coach that puts him in the best position to win. Deep down, I honestly feel Jerry never wanted Dak to be the guy. Still doesn't.

Are the Cowboys now pleading with QB Dak Prescott to lower his contract demands?
FRISCO
It appears the Dallas Cowboys are now pleading with quarterback Dak Prescott to work with them and lower his contract demands.

At least, that is how vice president Stephen Jones sounded on his radio show on 105.3 The Fan Friday when asked about Prescott’s stellar play and the current stalemate in contract negotiations.

Per sources, talks between the two sides have been very quiet in recent weeks, which is a far cry from the season opener when owner Jerry Jones said a deal was imminent.

The Cowboys (4-3) are heading into this week’s bye with Prescott playing the best football of his career and no deal close.

“The only thing we need him to do is work with us a little bit,” vice president Stephen Jones said Friday. “And I understand because it’s his money and it’s easy for someone else to say, but the only reason we’re having a negotiation is to talk him into all the reasons why it’s good to have a good supporting cast around him. What we’re trying to do is keep this young football team together. We think it’s a really good one. We think it’s only going to keep getting better because it is young.

“Other than that, this negotiation would have been over with months ago. But I think he understands where we’re coming from. We understand where he’s coming from. Ultimately, we’ll figure this out.”[/
[i]The Cowboys have already offered a deal worth than $30 million annually but Prescott’s demands have been in the $34 million range with reports of them approaching $40 million.

He is making $2.02 million in the final year of his rookie deal.

If the Cowboys place the exclusive franchise tag on him in the off-season, it would cost them $33.4 million in 2020 and $40.08 million in 2021 and $57.715 million in 2022, if he was tagged in subsequent years absent a deal.

Cowboys can't exactly plead poverty. They've given out big contracts to Elliot, Lawrence and others.

They'd have more leverage if they'd drafted a QB high to groom as an alternative.

But they have most of that OL locked up for several years too.

The main UFAs after this season are Cooper, Cobb, Lee and some of the secondary.

They may not be able to keep all their starter UFAs if they pay Dak what he wants.

C'est la vie, every team which pays out a big QB contract have had to make choices.

The way Dak has been playing and balling out lately, the price has to be going up. Lets see how Jerry **** this one up.

4400 yards in his last 16 games, 32 TDs and 12 ints.

Those are All-Pro numbers.

Coincided with them trading for Cooper. But now with Cooper drawing coverage, Cobb and Gallop are getting to beat single coverage against #2 and slot CBs.

They probably didn't need to pay Zeke, though the OL and the running game obviously helps the passing game a lot.

They have a lot of players on defense who will be UFAs next year, in addition to Dak and Cooper. Cobb, another UFA, has also been making some big plays this season.

I think he's put up the numbers but the proof will be in the playoffs. They would have as good a chance as any, because they have such great big-play capability.

So there should be no excuses for not getting it done, with all the money spent on that offense and more money to be spent.

WOW is he regretting not taking that $30M/y now? DP looks like a guy who can make all the throws when he has a clean pocket and has ideal conditions, as most NFL starters do. However if you want the biggest contract ever you should be a little more effective in the important game when your team needs some big plays. The Dallas defense played well enough to win but their offense fell flat even with all the stars on that side of the ball.
I found it funny that he began the game with no gloves then had one by halftime and then had both gloves on by the end of the game. He let a couple of opportunities slip through his fingers, literally. If Prescott had started the game with gloves on the Cowboys might have been able to move the ball and score touchdowns instead of trying field goals and pressure the Patriots.

I think he should take a team friendly deal. Win win, he would still reveive a big paycheck, starting QB on a glamour franchise. And retain all talent surrounding him.

Dallas has $87 million in cap space for 2020.

Half of that will be payed out to two players however. Dak's cap hit alone next year will be somewhere around 30 million. Whether it be the franchise tag or a long term deal. Cooper likely 10-15 mil.

In comparison, the Hawks will have upwards of $70+ million in cap space this off season. That's with Wilson locked up long term.

Dallas truly has missed out on a golden opportunity. Their starting QB was making less than a million dollars. Which he obviously has outperformed. But now, he's about to get a huge raise. Which no longer gives them an advantage over others paying market value. Guys like Dak, Zeke, Lawrence are getting payed top dollar now. It slowly eats away at the teams depth. And so there's a smaller margin for error going forward.

Well Dak has a must win game tonight so. We will see how he does.

And more importantly IF Dallas makes the play offs HOW does Dak *perform* in the play offs/play off game.

That should hold the most weight for getting him paid/new contract.

If puts up an egg is awful then just franchise him or something idk.

I really hope Jerry won't pay him that much, he's worth 20-22m. NOT 40 at all.

I think 30 is a fair number (Market value) when you consider what others are getting. My guess is he signs for the same number that Goff got from the Rams (33 million) or just north of that (34).

Contract talks between the two sides has stalled until the off-season. 30m should be the # still, not 40m.

Jerry isn't getting any younger.

Are the Cowboys really going to burn a season with Dalton as QB just to save a few million?

Pacercoltboiler · Post #59 » by **Pacercoltboiler** » Thu Jun 4, 2020 4:35 am

Why does the media love Dak so much? They will all clap like trained seals every time a player screws their team. It is hard enough paying a good QB with a hard cap. These Qbs don't seem to want to win.

Didn't see the injury, just the aftermath. So season-ending, long rehab ahead of him.

What was the last offer the Cowboys made?

Did he for instance get offered as much as the Texans offered to Watson?

Or what Goff got from the Rams?

He may have deserved more but it's brutal to have a major injury without a long-term deal. Maybe won't be fully rehabbed for 2 years, by which time he would be 29.

Cowboys may be fortunate, if they had signed him this offseason, to have him injured only 5 games into this season.

OTOH, now they have to look at drafting and developing a QB, unless there's a Pro Bowl QB who is going to be a FA next season.
