If Dallas signs LINVAL JOSEPH, 6'4, 335 to go with JORDAN PHILLIPS, 6'6 341, then i am for certain this Dallas Defense will be a top 5 defense. It would be hard to run through that middle plus, nearly impossible to run outside of the defense with the speed on defense at linebacker.

I swear people here dont listen. The NFL isnt about what you might be worth its about the timing of your contract. Worth and market are two different things. Credit Todd France for getting Dak back to the table this early, whether you like Dak or not

[jamesgreen]

And please remember this is 31 at the start of this season & Patrick is 28. Dak has almost a 10 year history of putting up stats but not getting the team to a Super Bowl. I respect the comments . But why do you keep blaming Jerry? The team gas has all pros on both side of the ball. Maybe just maybe it's the QB????

[jamesgreen]

Bobby why do you hate Lance? And don't say you don't. That is how you come across to the public.

CD and Jefferson has the same agent so what the hold up Dak has leverage he can hit free agency with no tags CD has to report by week 8 to get the money left on his rookie deal and be eligible for free agency which he won't hit Jerry has tags he can use next two seasons on him

[BWIL]

I'll be damn our defense is going to be a top 5 and Dak wins MVP

[holen]

You know who’s not crying about his money? Micah Parsons!!

[brendandrunasky]

Rappaport likes to stir things up...true or not why would Dak be tied to McCarthy?

[leroytice]

Who cares what Ian Rapaport thinks? He's never negotiated a contract. Has he ever been to Frisco?

[tonecyphers]

Dak should take $55 mil a year or go kick rocks. He’s not $5 - $10 mil better than the rest of the QBs in his range. He’s just not. If he walks. I’d take Ryan Tannerhill for a couple of years and a great RB and would be fine. Make the defense better. Draft a QB a groom him until he’s ready. Screw Dak and his so called leverage. The only QB worth $60 mil is Mahomes. You pay Dak $60 mil and the team is screwed

[christiancowboy]

Only 1 loss Ian? Come on!
Let's not play games, and act like the previous playoff loses don't exist!
I hate be feed Bullshit, like I'm a dummy who should believe and except anything you decide to feed us...

[faceious]

If Dak wants 60 million for pissing down his leg in the playoffs he can find it elsewhere

[RHExperience]

The biggest snag with CeeDee Lamb is that he is greedy

[UsualJohnson]

Why would anyone wanna resign with this team. Joneses care about being top organization value wise. Then winning championships.
At the end of the day it costs the fans.

The Dallas Cowboys is a business. The NFL is a business. Fans need to understand that the networks are a business. It’s all entertainment for the general public. The players are employees of this billion dollar industry.
And they deserve a fair share of the money.
The market is the market so just enjoy the games. It’s on free TV.
