Dak Prescott turns down record breaking contract.

No they don't. There's already a hard salary cap in place. If teams want to hamstring themselves by terribly overpaying players that's on them. I'd much rather have it that way than institute max contract stipulations and see the marquee teams load up on elite talent because smaller markets don't even have the option of overpaying them.

I’m not talking about having max contracts like the NBA. Teams should just be smart enough to pay a player based of their value instead of overpaying for them. The league itself should find a way to have more control than the players. This next man up attitude is stupid.

So... the league doesn't need to do anything? I love the hard salary cap with no restrictions on individual contracts. It forces teams to make tough decisions and keeps the parity of the league in place.

I hope they break the bank and destroy their cap cuz I am still pizzed off they got CeeDee Lamb.  Dallas has a lot of talent.

I'm going to venture a guess that this story is not true as well.  Either that, or the deal is structured in some really messed up way.

The story also doesn't make sense because why would Dak ask for a specific number in the last year of the contract, where most of that money is going to be unguaranteed? Usually salary figures are meaningless in the final year of longer contracts because teams will either cut the player or extend them before they get to that point. There's gotta be at least a degree of fabrication in this story.

Shame they signed Dalton. Would have been a good spot for Cam.

I don't care if this report is true or not, I don't think he's worth a big contract period. If I was a GM of his team, I'd be moving him.

[LinvilleGorge]

I think Dak is a good QB. I definitely don't think Dak is a $45M per season type of QB. That would force the Cowboys to part with a lot of talent over the next few years.

I take it back. I would much rather have a max contract cap like the NBA. Bc the NFL is already pretty much the same way. It’s just not “labeled” as it. But, it’s worse bc of the next man up bullshiat. In the NBA, guys are not getting paid more than the last guy. They get paid as the same guy playing their position. Guys in the NFL are still getting paid by their position like the NBA but more than the last guy. Do you really want to give Dak 40-45m a year now? The next two guys coming up are Watson and Mahomes. Pay them 50-55m (they probably are worth it) but now you have to pay guys like Lamar Jackson, Mayfield, Josh Allen, Kyler Murray, etc. 55-60m+ after that? That’s insanely stupid. I would rather have a max and just pay all those guys the same.

Some of these players need smarter agents and crews. Just insane, Dalton would put up similar numbers and hes only 7 million. I mean Blake Bortles is still a FA, sign him for 1 million and drop 45 mill Dak. Dak is not 45x better than Bortles or Cam for 10/whatever. Theres plenty of QBs out there and Dak may priced himself out of the market. A few teams have 2-3 depth and could trade for a late rounder. Kyle Allen was had for 5th. Josh Rosen could be had for 6/7th. Dak needs to wake up.

$25 mil is all Dak is worth if even that.

Andy Dalton come on down

Cam will be starting for the Cowboys next year. Dak will be a backup somewhere making $7 mil if this story is true
