I’m just impressed at this point that they are able to take the exact same topic and figure out ways to talk about differently lol

[DamnCowboys-toit]

Nah. It makes dak look bad. The Cowboys are trying to pay him. He's not an mvp. Asking for more than what Wilson makes? Come on

[paulmann]

Stephen A says he deserves 35m. Then they show me a graphic of QBs salary showing that EVERYONE with at least 33.5m has been to or WON A SUPERBOWL 😂😅

Hey Max, maybe just maybe Dallas doesn't feel Dakota is a franchise QB.

Max- Mahomes told Kansas City he would still want opportunity to have a great surrounding cast and that was why he didn't go for max money. Dak wants to go for max money when he can't even win with above avg cast and in the worst division.

I think what woke Jerry up last year was, the Giants Redskins and the Eagles had their troubles....Dak couldn't even get the Division Won...

[LanceVance]

Dude is getting delusions of grandeur. That team is stacked yet because hes the starter, they cant even make the playoffs.

[ZRC-rlpg]

Elliot is the one who Carries this team. Jerry already paid the guy who gets it done. Dak is not Wilson, stop treating him like he is.

[WTC-]

Dak is getting ridiculous now, just let him walk

[bimmerfest]

I don’t get Dak. He went 8-8. They were 8-2 in single possession games in 2018, when it was a run heavy offense. In 2019, they lost 7 single possession games. They regressed, when Dak was the focal point of the offense. This team should have easily won 11 games last year. Imagine losing 7 single possession games and having 4 games with ZERO passing TDs. And saying, “Pay me, Jerry!”

[Dareal_milly]

Dallas don’t look bad, Jerry knew what he was doing, he don’t believe in Dak it’s just that simple.

[GamerGraveDigga]

It kinda is dak fault he knew Jerry didn't really want to sign him yet he didn't sign

[jlmart]

As a Cowboys fan I’m so sick of this topic. Especially when these shows are geared to point - counter point.

[thomaskelly]

Dak is getting some very bad advice from someone...
Stop dreaming of Mahomes contract and start thinking Cam Newton type deal.

[edawwwwg]

I always hear “wait until the league gets a full year of tape of the guy and see what he can do...” Well, after the year of “tape on the man, ” Dak is 27-21 since, that 0.9 Int% in 2016 isn’t even close to his career average of 1.7%. So the tape on the guy is proving it’s value for opposing defenses? I don’t think Dak is even worth the franchise tag $$$$ wise

[edwinthomas]

Stop with the Jerry always oveepays argument. He obviously has learned his lesson. At most Dak is 28-30 mil a year QB and I'm being generous.

[cochino_chris]

$35m Stephen A?!? So your saying he’s as good as Russ?!? Better than Big Ben and Rodgers?!? GET OUT OF HERE! Your drunk

[kingez]

This is not a “team player”. Money is more important to him than winning. Plus he isn’t even that good. I think his back up may be just as good if not better lol

[PatrickMHoey]

Dak isn’t going to bring the Cowboys to a Suoer Bowl. Dallas needs to spend the big bucks on a QB who will.

[atxfun]

I have to comment on this. First point, Dallas tried to sign Dak before last season and the amounts leaked was $33m or so. Second, Jerry has a tendency to overpay his stars, but Dak hasn't signed. This would mean either Jerry doesn't think Dak is a star, or Dak is overpriced. Third, Dak changed agents mid stream. We know Jerry can get pissed and do things on principle. Just look at Jimmy Johnson firing for one. My gut feeling is that Dak and Jerry were very close to a deal, Dak changed agents and numbers and Jerry is pissed. I can't prove it, but with Jerry signing Zeke, Amare and even Jaylen Smith since starting talks with Dak, I have to believe that Dak has changed his original requests after being close to agreement.
