The advertising he got out of everyone taking about Dak and the Cowboys the last few weeks is worth more than the $5M he lost in Dak’s contract. That’s the only reason they drug this out for so long.

If Dak doesn't get that money another player will. We're going to max out the cap every year regardless.

I don't think they drug it out for media exposure. They do this with every player. It's just their way of going about things.

When there was no cap who had the highest payroll?
A few years ago the cowboys got fined for going over the cap along with the commanders.

Lamb signed a few months after Jefferson and signed before Chase. Well within the norm. But the cowboys get criticized more.
Every other QB who was next man up slightly got more then the guy before. But Dak wanted to clear number two by millions.
The fact that Dak got 60 million means the cowboys weren’t the problem here.
The cowboy players use the media attention and large fan base to hold the cowboys hostage.
Most people would say the contract is more than fair and the funny part is that Dak could have easily refused it and got more a year from now.
The cowboys do sign players early. Steele, T smith, J smith etc… It’s just when they do it’s boring. lol
The 49ers have the same problems.
Bosa held out and got signed at the last second.
Their receiver held out and just got signed.
Their left tackle did the same thing Zack Martin did last year.
The only difference is that when it happens in Dallas it is more scrutinized.

Zeke had to hold out. Lamb missed the whole preseason. Dak's first contract was AFTER he was franchised.

I mean, you're right. Maybe the ones they sign early just go unnoticed and are boring signs. But to me it feels like they have a knack for dragging it out as long as they can.

Zeke held out very early. The cowboys were not late on him.

Would you be surprised if they run out Parson's contract and place a franchise tag on him? I mean I wouldn't.

The cowboys can’t unilaterally decide anything on Parsons. The cowboys will make him the highest paid player on defense. Will that be enough?

I think they are going to drag out Parson's as long as possible, and I think the only reason they got anything done with Dak is because they figured out that Trey Lance is complete garbage and realized they had no other options.

Looked like Ravens were dominating the Cowboys but then Cowboys had some late scores, made it close but still lost.

Dak had 379 yards but on 51 passes so probably he didn't do much in the first half of the game when his team got down in a big hole and then Ravens played soft coverage and then Dak made his numbers look decent as the Cowboys got a couple of scores?

Yeah dak had some nice garbage time stats today. He’s always good for that, it got him paid, so good for him.

Ravens game wasn't on Dak. In fact I'd say he might be the only bright spot yesterday.

Our lines are garbage. Derrick Henry ran for 151 yards and 2 TDs

The Ravens as a whole ran for 274 yards at 6.1 YPC

Meanwhile Dallas had 51 total rushing yards lol

The Ravens completely dominated the time of possession.

He's been doing it for 9 years. He never gets it done when it matters most. But in garbage time he lights it up so certain Cowboy posters can always use those stats to say Dak is just as good as any top 6 QB. Its really sickening at this point. You would think one time when the Cowboy defense was having their bad stretches he could pick it up some to offset things, but nope. Now Cowboy nation has to live with this s..t for another 4 years.

We've gone 12-5 the last 3 season with hardly any "garbage time"

in fact yesterday wasn't even "garbage time" for him because we actually had a chance to win the game.

If anything, Dak gave the coaches something worth considering going forward.

Open this thing up.

Having success with a quicker tempo right now seems the best approach. I know that means exposing this defense a little more but this team HAS GOT TO start putting points on the board and continuing to use the run to set up the pass is insane.

And - if we’re gonna run, then let’s see what Cook has. We know what Zeke has. He’s washed.

Zeke does seem washed, and it's crazy to me that Henry just looked like prime Henry going ape sht and he is 1 year older than Zeke.

But yes I am reminded of last season where the offense didn't get going until we decided to just throw at CeeDee every single play, and that is what we have to do, abandon the run and just have a pass attack.

The problem though is our line, last season we had Tyron Smith playing like prime Tyron Smith. This season we have a rookie who has looked like a rookie. Dak doesn't have much time at all back there.

Henry is a unicorn. One of one.

Zeke's tank has been on empty for a couple of years now. It's why the Cowboys needed to draft a RB this year. But failed to do so for whatever reason.

Derrick Henry is a first ballot, no-brainer HoF’er. And when they put together the video highlights of his career, that stiff arm he administered to Caelen Carson may well be on it. There may not be a more lethal stiff arm in the history of the game than his.

He's made so many guys over the years look foolish. No one wants to tackle him & I don't blame them. Guy is an absolute unit.

Zeke is not Henry, but in fairness to Zeke he only got the ball 3 times yesterday and no one could run. We had 51 total yards between 5 runners.

My bad. I also left out how he pads his stats against the tomato can teams like the Panthers, Giants, etc., to even out his stats from the good teams like the Niners, Bills, etc. I mean you would think just one time in 9 years Dak could play well and pick up the offense when everything else was going wrong. Just once.
