BOOO

I enjoy the circus in Dallas, this is no fun, hopefully Dak rakes them over the coals for a while for some obscene number

 

[JimmyApples]

Best WR in the league

 

[Tony Romo]

About time, can enjoy him for four more years.

 

[John Price]

so they gonna let dak walk or what

 

[BB88]

I don’t remember who said it but how Dallas handles business is weird

They keep refusing to pay their top players untill the last minute to always end up giving in

This could have been done way earlier

Seriously, like why piss guys off when you are just going to give them what they want?

Yep

Especially when you again call this a ”all in” season you refuse to pay your top players and not have them in game shape once the season starts

Just pointless

They got nothing positive out of this

Going to be the same show with Micah!

 

[John Price]

No way they have anything left over for Dak or Micah

One of those is gonna have to walk

How Jerry runs things. By the way given the Cowboys very dormant offseason this was their biggest move

Not a chance - but the roster will have to be filled with a lot of players on cheap contracts. They will probably end up as the NFL's version of the Maple Leafs in that a few guys on the roster will eat up most of the salary cap.

Right when training camp ends. Definitely a coincidence.

Dak contract is a real issue. I believe it's like $40 mill in cap charges that are still pending for the Cowboys to take on Dak's contract after this season. So, they will absolutely need some cheaper deals on their starters to catch up on that cap charge plus pay the going rate for a legit starter.

And this is another reason why Dallas needs to hit on most of their draft picks every season.

Plus stay healthy. They lost Sam Williams and Bland to injuries who are both on rookie deals. They pushed a lot of Dak's current contract cap hit to later and now we are at later. That's why he's a $59 mill cap charge this season with $40 mill in dead money after the season. His base salary for 2024 is $34 mill. So, they have like $65 mill of SB and restructures on the books from prior years left to take as of now.

Dak is going to get 60 per

I don't expect him to play for free but if he wants $60 million a season then I hope he gets it from another team.

You know this offseasons market has driven us to that point, he’ll get 60

 

[Breakers]

I love how the owner makes this extension all about him.

nobody can do his job?????

umm everyone told you to sign this contract last off-season, or at the start of this off-season.
Dallas will never win as long as jones is still alive and GM

Maybe Jerry likes dominating the headlines

ND Dak..
All in.

The NFL cap isn’t like the NHL.

Dak will sign and become the highest paid QB in the league, just like the last big-named QB who signed. Within a year, Dak will be the 5th highest paid QB in the league. Within a couple, not even top 10.

And the cap will rise, the cap hit will be manipulated and pushed towards the infinite void, and the Cowboys will continue to not spend money they could have because that’s just what they do.

They already saved money by signing Lamb, and will save even more by signing Dak. And the cap will rollover to next season and they’ll sign Micah a week before the regular season starts.

Like all teams they likely keep kicking things down the line. The old borrow from Peter to pay Paul saying applies in the NFL. Every dollar a team pays a player will ultimately hit the team's salary cap. Just a question of when it does. Dallas, if the decision is to move off Dak, will figure out how to push some cap hit due ito other players n 2025 into future years to absorb the dead cap charge from Dak. Or if they wish to keep Dak, they will figure out how to work in his $40 mill of unallocated cap charges remaining when they structure the new contract.

Yup. Feels kinda weird to even have a cap when you can do this, but whatever lol.
