Wow, congrats Dak.. Might as well get ready to add LJ to that list.

[Drew 2331]

Finally the Cowboys did NOT fuck up something.

They could have had him for 30 mil a year 2 fucking years ago, but of course not, they had to make it difficult.

 

But seriously, this will not hurt the team.  And when Baker and Kyler and Allen are getting 45 a year, you won't be scoffing at this.

[Catdaddyhorn 3444]

Today's Cowboys just like yesterday's.  Stephen came with all that posturing just to open up and take it whole like he always does. He essentially negotiated against himself and added over 10mm/yr to Dak's yearly wages over the course of the last 3 years.

stupid deal

Good for dak. If they waited a year it would be 45 or 50 a year. They should have done it 2 years ago for 25 but still.

Yup, each new contract is the biggest ever, well now 2nd since nobody is getting Mahomes money anytime soon. Glad it’s over with. Dak Attack!

Yeah ok...how about make it to a NFC Championship game first. I love the Cowboys but this is a dumb deal. Should have traded him and got whatever, then draft a new QB. Not my money though. Will be exciting watching them go 8-8 for the next four years.

I see a bunch of 8-8 seasons in the Cowboys future.

Well it might help to invest some in a defense that doesn't suck.

Maybe now he can afford a maid to help clean up and perhaps hang that mirror on the wall.

Cowboys had almost no leverage since they fucked around last year and tagged him. They caved in the end.

Fucking terrible. We just guaranteed our mediocre fate by 5 seasons. Hah, whatever. This is the franchise owned by that idiot family with fans like Drew. 

The tears of all the people who were so certain Dak would not be here is hilarious. Wah wah wah wah

The best thing Dak ever did was hire that particular fucking agent.

 

Holy furk...

Crying over the Cowboys ended a long fucking time ago.   The tragedy continues in comedic form.  You can't help but fucking laugh.

Futureman and Dak. Name a better duo.

With the reported addition of voidable years to the contract this deal will probably reduce Dak's cap figure from the $37mm franchise tag figure all the way down to the low 20s. And with the new TV media rights deal the cap will probably go up $20 to $30 million a year each year of his contract.  In other words worries about "the cap" are just a fictitious hurdle created by owners to throw out to fans as blame for their mismanagement.

It's time to face the scary situation that Stephen is flat out just as bad as his dad at this.  Maybe worse.  It's fascinating, he's like so far the other way.  Jerrah sees it, wants it and then overspends.  Stephen sees it, demurs, analyzes, says he doesn't care, decides maybe he should care after hearing everyone talk, misses his window, and then overspends.  The light at the end of the tunnel was supposed to be Jerrah's death, but it seems the Jones' are the worst attack on a great franchise ever.  Sure, they lined their pockets on the sheep's preoccupation with shiny things, but they're simply bad at this..... they're bad "football men" and they've dragged down a storied franchise with them. 

As for the deal, it's not surprising.  Could have paid 31ish million last June.  Let's pay 40m this March.  Good for Dak.  Take those Arkansas hillbillies and their elegies for all they are worth.  If you don't like the deal, it's not on Dak, your issue is on the Joneses and has been for a good while.  Offense should be fun next year though, provided Tubby Elliott can provide something.

Coming from a guy who said we should outright fire Kellen Moore, it just shows how much you don’t understand what’s really going on. You just like to throw out terrible “I told you so” takes in this thread.

Crying definitely isn’t the right way to put it. At least not for me. I’d say shocked, more than anything. And it necessarily in a good or bad way, but just genuinely surprised they got it done. I didn’t think it was going to happen. I didn’t think Dak was going to be our qb after 2021.

$40M per year for a guy that would be the 3rd best QB on OU's roster right now.  Wouldn't have beaten out 2 of their last 3, either.

[Loch Ness Monster 3533]

Say the next three years are 7-9, 9-7, 8-8. 

We just going to blame the defense and pay Dak top $ again? Or will this team actually need to accomplish something?

There a lot of fine takes in this thread - including several about whether or not it was stupid to pay Dak. This take is fucking stupid.

Who fucking knows.  If the offense is #3 during that span and the defense is #29, then maybe.  But this is a valueless question without context.  Do you have any faith in the front office to put good value oriented players around Dak particularly on defense?  Maybe Dak takes the money and gets injured or plays like a bum or maybe the Jones' just keep on sucking.  Starts at the top.  Incompetent ownership is extremely difficult to overcome.  Incompetent management is almost impossible.

rayne has been surrounded by a more than capable roster for five goddamn years and all he did was put up big stats playing from behind in losses. he’s a thief and a fucking fraud. he has a prick agent and was blessed the huge benefit of a totally incompetent negotiating team across the table. in a decade he will have two things: a huge pile of dirty money and one career playoff win. fuck all of you.

Nonsense.  Rattler has a significantly better arm and the Williams kid does, too.  Kyler Murray is light years better and if Cleveland offered Baker for Dak straight up, any Cowboy fan in his right mind would jump all over that.

There are college QB's every year better than Dak.
