OT: Dak is highest paid player in NFL

[Malua]

Too much money but Dallas don't have a choice

Dak Prescott, Cowboys agree to terms on four-year, $240 million contract extension ahead of opener

 

[TheRainMaker]

OMG! This is so bad for the NFL.

 

[oceansizer]

Not my money...but paying ridiculous amount of money for an average QB...

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

4 more losses in the wild care here we gooooo

 

[farn]

Totally worth it. I mean, I didn’t check the stats online, but he must have quite a few SBs. No ? Ok, well surely he usually goes deep in the playoffs. No again ? Well, he must OFTEN win the first playoff game. Doesn’t even make it some years ?

Oof.

 

[ahmed]

Remember when our fans were so delusional that people on here were saying we let Brady go because we could not afford to pay him $25MM? lol

 

[VrabelJr]

These insane contracts are setting the stage for a team-first team to go and win the Super Bowl with a cast of players that look like nobodies but are actually quite good.

 

[PaulThePat]

Looks like Trey Lance's chance of being QB1 at Dallas are slim.

 

[Guts]

Highest paid player I'm history to the definition of mid

 

[ScottishPatriots]

The alternative to paying Dak 60m to lose playoff games is watching the Patriots & Panthers try and play offense last year and gearing up for a potential 4 years of that then that 60m seems pretty reasonable.

 

[signbabybrady]

Bill's next QB

 

[IcyPatriot]

Dak will never win a real Super Bowl ring.

 

[Pape]

this just cements JJ's legacy as the worst contract negotiator in the modern era NFL

 

[mgteich]

Their owner did what he had to do to keep his players, just like SF. The window is narrow for both teams.

too much? affects everyone else?

maybe? Each team has a choice with regard to how to apportion the cap. Is the right way to spend $50M or more for a QB? maybe, maybe not

 

[Delicate Genius]

 

[Sect140]

Wait until he goes out early in the playoffs again.

 

[TinhWoodhead]

why is every contracts 4 years

 

[XLIX]

Not my money...but paying ridiculous amount of money for an average QB...

If you want to criticize his failures in the postseason, that's fair game and a valid point.... but Prescott is far better than just as "average QB".... he was #2 in the MVP voting last year for Pete's sake.....

There are only 3 active starting QBs with rings so to hold Prescott to that standard isn't fair. He is every bit as good as Allen, Burrow, Hurts, and the more recent media darlings.

 

[VJCPatriot]

Dak will never win a real Super Bowl ring.

These are the only rings Dak is ever going to win:
