re: No way Dak turned down 30M/year from DAL right? UPDATE: Wants 40M

Do you think that doesn't factor into negotiation on their next contract?

No, no I don’t. I’ve never seen evidence of this happening and I’m not understanding why you believe it would....other than you believe it’s “fair”.

If they way underperformed, they aren't going to get market value even if they are an average starter.

Of course they will. They’ll either get “average player market value” from their team or in FA. Where have you ever seen a highly drafted player who turned out to be average get less than market value for an average player simply because he wasn’t as great as everyone though coming out of college?

If you want to keep a guy like Prescott, you are going to have to somewhat make it up to him and maybe overpay him a bit now.

---

No they don’t. They need to pay him market. Nobody does this.

Otherwise, they need to let him go and get as much as he can somewhere

I’d wager that no one in the league is going to pay Dak Prescott $30MM a year.

Only the top five QBs are earning that much currently. Are we supposed to believe Dak is a top 5 QB?

quote:

Prescott is going to earn 2M this season. Kirk Cousins will get 27.5M. How is that fair?

---

Is it “fair” that Tom Brady is earning less than about 10 other QBs?

Is it “fair” that Matt Stafford went years as the highest paid QB?

Why is “fair” relevant here? Cousins played on a rookie deal just like everyone else has and just like Dak is doing currently. He didn’t get back pay.
