$175 million for 5 years....

[basedog]

$106 million guaranteed. If so Dak I sure hope you sign and get this behind!

[bulldawg28]

Where are you getting this information?

[ShotgunDawg]

it's not about the money. Dak wants 4 years, not 5.

There is a new NFL CBA in 4 years & Dak wants to benefit from that because the salary cap is expected to rise considerably.

The Cowboys want to lock him in to where he can't get another contract.

Maroon Madness posted it.

[Hambone]

If that number is correct then WOW.

I do get that they are basically arguing over 1 year but DANG, that’s a lot of money!

[basedog]

If Dak is waiting on a 4 year plan because of a contract increase in 5 years seems risky. Injuries occur, what if he gets hurt, what if he doesn't lead his team in playoffs to victories, what if he doesn't get along with the new Coach. A guaranteed $106 million contract is what is important plus it seems to me $35 million per is a great deal in today's market. Who knows what the future will bring.

I don't understand if this is true (contract) but take the contract and sign it!

[Leeshouldveflanked]

If he goes ahead and signs without it getting ugly, he stands to make very good money on endorsements...

[TheLostDawg]

I'll say this, I was all for him signing it. With how they've done him, I think that he should do what's best for him. I'm sure that he'd have signed five last year but they paid their rb instead. Dak bet on himself and Dak's agents are making the cowboys to pay for letting that happen.

35 a year is way more than fair

[1bigdawg]

A five year contract may not be a bad deal. At the beginning of the next big salary cap increase, there will be several record-breaking QB contracts. It might be beneficial to let that happen so that Dak can base his third contract on those.

[WinningIsRelentless]

Dallas screwed up last year by not giving him an extension then. Dak is in the drivers seat and they know it. He is making north of $30 million a year now on endorsements alone.

[Cooterpoot]

With Houston talking of paying Watson $40M and Mahomes possibly commanding $50M, Dak can work off the tag at $31.5 M and command $40M+ next couple years. Up to him if he takes less.
Of course, the unknown is the virus and economic issues from it. I'm leaning more toward the tag now because of that, but Dak will be fine.

That really seems to be much more than I would have believed.

[MaroonBelle]

Because it's not the actual #. That # was written about last year before the season as what he can make if he played out his rookie deal but the original article was that it included endorsements and a large insurance policy. SO that is only if he gets hurt and can't play again.#s for actual endorsements I've seen mostly estimate $5 to $8 mil. I've seen $10 mil max.

I'm not so sure the advertising money is going to continue to grow at the same rate....my daughter is a senior marketing officer at one of the the big three cell phone companies and they are completely changing how they market...they are getting away from the traditional venues and going toward digital data driven targeted marketing.... with the amount of cord cutting is going on, you will see a massive shift away from the scattered broadcast approach and a move toward personalized marketing messages delivered to your phone And tablet...

That?s the actual number. I didn?t want to post it because people would flip out. Jerry knows the figure and he is trying to use it against Dak in negotiations. Dak would take less money for a 4 year deal from the Cowboys but for some reason Jerry doesn?t want to do it. The word is Dak?s agent put a offer out of $85 million guaranteed with a total value with bonuses up to $150 million over 4 years and Jerry said no.

[Hot Rock]

5 year deal puts Dak in damn good place but so does just about every other scenario. If he walked away right now after making the endorsment monies the last few years, he would be a wealthy man for the rest of his life unless he gets stupid with it.

If he bets on himself and signs the franchise tag, even if he bombs and they kick out of the league after this year, he will still make north of 80 million this year alone. He fine, don't worry about his money.

If you read more than the title of that article that # includes insurance which I guarantee you is the largest portion of it by alot
"Prescott has taken out loss-of-value and disability insurance policies that will compensate him in the event of a career-ending injury.

Taken together, Prescott?s endorsement deals and insurance policies are worth more than $50 million, ESPN reported, citing league sources familiar with the matter."

So multiple insurance policies. What do you think insurance taken out for compensation of an entire career lost as an NFL QB is worth?

[MaroonBelle]

so in 2017 he was making $2.5 million and in 3 years he jumped to $30 or $50 mil in endorsements? No.

https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/20623377/dallas-cowboys-quarterback-dak-prescott-makes-almost-five-s-nfl-salary

Y'all act like this man has his own shoe.

[chef dixon]

He can do whatever he wants. Its his life and I'm in no place to judge these decisions surrounding his deal. I can't feel sorry for him though. He will have enough money to do whatever he and his family want for the rest of their life regardless.

Yep. He isn't even in the Top 10 on endorsements. As of February, Matt Ryan was 10th at 5 million a year. I think Beckham was 1st at around 26 million.

Agree he needs to sign this and move on. This is about to turn ugly and he may get traded and his career could tank fast. Sign it and go have an All Pro, HOF type career. I hope Dak has some good advisers.

Agree, I just talked to a friend, I ask him what Dak would be worth at Cleveland? Also JJ is crazy, I can see him not giving in , he has a backup plan. If Dak’s backup plan is to sit out then I think he will be gone. Also if he plays as franchise player money, I hope they make the Super Bowl.

Jones did this same thing with Elliot. Just let it play out. I'm sure Dak's people know what they're doing.

[TaleofTwoDogs]

This story is no where to be found on any of the Dallas news outlets. With the franchise tag on Dak he is guaranteed $31.4M per year. The rumor is that he wants a 4 year deal of $35M a year which would place him as the top paid QB in the league.

[Matt3467]

Some of you guys need to get those maroon shades off. I love Dak but no way he's worth 35 million/yr. He's not Russell Wilson and definitely not an Aaron Rodgers. Take that number down a few million and that's his *current* ballpark. If he was indeed offered that type of money for 5 years then you take it. The longer this drags out the more it looks bad for Dak. With the draft the Cowboys just had he has an exciting future ahead if he just takes the money and from what it appears he's been offered a lot more that what is fair.

[Tbonewannabe]

Less in guaranteed money than the 4 year deal of Goff.

[msstate7]

Well Goff did sigh that deal coming off a super bowl appearance, and I'm sure the rams are sorta worried about that deal right now after last season.

You need to understand that it isn't that he isn't Wilson or Rodgers, he is the top QB on the market. Kirk Cousins got a 3 year deal for $90 Mil fully guaranteed. Goff and Wentz both signed 4 year deals that used their 5th year of their rookie deal to make it a 5 year deal. Dallas wants to get the benefit of Dak being a first round pick without paying him the extra 20M or so that goes with the first contract.

As far as Dak's play, people talk about Watson getting 40 Mil but Dak's stats are almost identical only Dak hasn't had Hopkins to throw to. Cooper was great in 2018 but mediocre all last year. His great OLINE was only truly great his first year, since then they are at best average and sometimes shitty. Martin is the only guy left that plays at a Pro Bowl level.

[Tbonewannabe]

Well Goff did sigh that deal coming off a super bowl appearance, and I'm sure the rams are sorta worried about that deal right now after last season.

Wentz got almost the same deal. Neither of those guys are better than Dak in any stat except Goff in Playoff wins. Goff also has a high level play caller and Dak had a shit play caller until last year. Even then Garrett would 17 it up at times.

Dak is doing what every Pro Bowl level QB has done, try to push up the ceiling for the next guy. Dak also doesn't want to give away the 5th year at a discount. Dallas should have paid him before last year. I imagine they really didn't expect him to have the best season in Cowboys history last year.

I wonder how long those endorsement deals are for? He isn't making that every year.
