If I had to guess it was 150 mil / 5 yr but only the first two years guaranteed if that. So likely it increases by a percentage every year. So probably only 53 or so mil guaranteed for two years (with incentives to hit that) and then the rest isn’t guaranteed at all.

And as for worrying about his team. Lol that’s a load of malarkey the 32 richest people in the sport sold you hook line and sinker. “Loyal to the team. Help the team.” What a bunch of bs. They’ll sign players to these high $ amounts with little guarantees and cut bait or force them to restructure down when it’s convenient for the team. No one should be held to the standard Tom Brady has been. His wife has made 10X the money he has from football contracts. Unfair advantage.
No one is selling me anything. I watch the NFL and it's obvious the big contract QBs aren't getting their teams close to the super bowl. I'm not sure why people say that's hating on Dak. It's the damn truth and it's simple economics.

Yes the Cowboys have been getting more out of him than the value of his contract. But when you give him $25-$30 million they don't just crap it out of a locked up safe somewhere. They have to take that from other players. Therefore you can't get as many other good players to put around Dak.

It's not rocket science folks. I'm not hating on Dak. All I said was if he wants to win a Super bowl he would take less money. I didn't judge him. I didn't say he was a bad person. I didn't even say I knew more about his finances like dancingrabbit said. But unfortunately for Dak big contract QBs don't win Super Bowls. That's fine if he takes the money. He's just not going to win a Super bowl if he does.

It's nothing against Dak. Lots of folks are in the take the money and get the most you can while you can group. I'm in the I would rather take less (because I know $20 million is tough to live on these days) and try and let my team sign other talented people to put around me. Super Bowl wins and appearances get you more fame and money than a contract.

Not sure why folks this is ground breaking observation and that I know what's best for Dak. Only one teams wins a Super Bowl and only 2 go. Look at the Cowboys and tell me they are going to win a Super bowl over the next 5 years. You can say it's Jerry Jones fault all you want. But don't lie and say it wouldn't matter if Dak took less.
