If I were in Dak's shoes

I never heard any follow up on that. Wonder what the deal was?

Nobody knows what he is demanding - Jerry created that narrative just like he does every narrative. Jerry is one of the sorriest human beings to walk this earth and he only cares about his image, his money, and fulfilling his lusts. The same reason the sexual assault allegation from 2017 is suddenly an issue for dak now that contracts are being negotiated. There is also a good chance that Dak wants out and is demanding that number. They did nothing during season free agency to help dak make a deep playoff run this year or last year. They could have easily added Henry late in the season and been a serious contender come January. They actually had the cap space.

It is still the backside. Not saying he is close to retirement but he has less years left than he has played already.

So do most QBs that are mature enough to win a SB.

He will get paid because he can win now. Not for how good he will be in 5 years.

Their situation really is Jerrys fault. Had he not drug his feet on Daks first contract and extended him earlier instead of making him play it out the timing would be better. As of right now they are looking at the situation of having to pay

1. Dak a new contract likely around 53-55 mil a year
2. Micah Parsons, likely a record setting contract for a defensive player projected at 30/35mil a year
3. CeeDee Lamb will likely reset the market for WRs around 30mil

If you sign all 3 your ass better hit in the draft because you wont have any $ for free agency

The craziest thing about those numbers is that dak is worth more wins than those next two players combined. They would be better off trading both than trading Dak. It's a rebuild if they trade dak. Not if they trade the other two.

Yes it's a rebuild wo dak bc qb is so important and they won't have one. If they let dak go, the 25 season is trashed bc of the dead cap money. I can't see anyone making a trade for him when he's available in a year in the free market and they would have to have an agreement w him for a long term deal.......But he's not better at his position than parsons is. Not even close. Fact is 8/9 guys eat up a huge majority of the dollars on every roster. Winning is determined by how well you manage the other 40 guys.

This is fact. I love Dak but you would be hard pressed to find more than a couple of players, if that, that would be considered better at their respective positions than Micah Parsons.

And Parson is a pass rush specialist. He is worthless against the run.

Micah was a non factor the second half of the season - I like him but he ain't the game wrecker that he is supposedly gonna get paid to be. Bosa is. Chris Jones is. I would actually say that willie gay is better as far as ROI if Micah is 30 mil.

Not true. But anyhow, he's one of the top 5 defensive players in the game and completely disruptive.

Omg. If you truly believe everything you typed then no point in discussing it further w you. That's just nuts. ...
6.5 sacks last 8 games. Yeah non factor.... as for Bosa. Parsons had more sacks for the year and for the last half. ...... so again ....parsons led the league in qb pressures.... should I keep going or what??? Your entire post is absurd
