I wasn't a huge fan of the Jared's contract but the silver lining was these other contracts were going to come after him, namely Mahomes and Prescott's. Here are the current contracts of starting QB"S:
View attachment 33677

So with the market set with Russel Wilson, and it appears the Cowboys are offering 33-34 million still with Prescott's camp wanting 40 million/year I'm sure they'll meet in the middle at 36.5 or 37 mill., in which we are already benefiting signing Jared before these QB contracts. At least 3-3.5 million that can be used elsewhere to build our team.

I'm really curious in 2021 when all these QB's are out of contract:
Andy Dalton
Cam Newton
Tom Brady (maybe)
Drew Brees (maybe)
Phillip Rivers (maybe)
Jacoby Brisett
Kirk Cousins


Some decent and older Qb's on that list. About a 3rd of the league is going to be shooken up in the next 2 years QB wise.

Not including Ryan Tannehill and Jameis Winston.


p.s. I'd love to see Kansas City jump ahead and give Mahomes a huge deal to help up the price for Dak and maybe even cause a holdout! lol They are on a 40 day countdown as of today.
The Rams organization did the right thing by signing Goff when they did.

This is why QB contracts should not count against the cap. Let the owners have to have one free market area to outspend each other. They have a million specific rules for QBs anyway...

been saying this for awhile now. It seems so obvious and it removes the upheaval of building a team around a rookie QBs salary and then dismantling it once he gets paid.

I don't say this often, as I believe top players are very well paid.
That said, the Cowboys have completely taken advantage of Dak.
He has been paid about 4M total for 4 years. If he had been seriously injured this season, he would have lost massively.
Now that Dak is in the driver's seat, I can't see how he would not go after every $ he can get from the Cowboys.

OTOH, Prescott has been paid like a fourth round pick and the Cowboys made him their starting QB. His agent will make him rich.

Interesting debate with them talking about Carson’s and Goff’s contracts and paying Dak.

Guaranteed if we franchised Goff the Cowboys have a deal in place with Dak for like 33.5-35 a year already.

Dak has made over 50 million in endorsements (despite not having ever even been to an NFCCG), so I dont buy the "Cowboys have taken advantage of him" stuff. He has taken advantage of being a Cowboy and had made well over what a ton of surgeons make. The guy is Alex Smith 2.0, but unfortunately Jerry is a retard, so I'm sure we'll pay him close to 40, AND we will never be able to surround him with enough talent (that he needs) to compete for a SB. I agree with a previous poster; the QB salary should not count against the cap.


Also, Sam Bradford should be in federal prison for the ampunt of money he's stolen from teams.
