6 year deal with record guaranteed money (for a guard). No details, but that puts the deal above the 5 yr/$66.5M deal ($30M gtd) signed by Norwell a few months ago.
Presumably, the "6th" year is this upcoming season which Martin was set to play under the 5th year option (a la Beckham).

The extensions help keep costs low now, but eventually someone will be a cap casualty
And do what, pray that they hit on another mid-round QB prospect?
I am hoping that Prescott has a somewhat decent season and JJ unwisely gives him a massive extension.

Behind that line and with that running back a mid-round prospect is going to look a lot better than he actually is, just like Prescott has.
As Giants fans we should all be hoping they give him a huge contract.
You can win it all with a guy like Prescott on his rookie deal since you can use the extra money to strengthen other aspects of the team, but if you're tying $25M+ (now the going rate) into a Prescott, good luck fielding a SB competitor.
Not to mention, Demarcus Lawrence is going to need a new contract too next year. As a 27 year old pass rusher that will command big bucks, find it hard to believe they will make him one of the highest paid DE's on the market as well.

Cousins is actually pretty productive. I didn't say good, just productive. 4900 yards and 4100 yards with 52 TDs the last two years. I don't see Prescott ever being that kind of QB

Sean Lee won't be getting big money. He'll be lucky if they don't cut him after this season ($7M base next year with only $3M dead money). He'll be 34 in 2020 with a long injury history.

Didn't they draft the presumed replacement for Lee this year?

Fair enough, but the other 3 will still be looking for Top 3-5 contracts at their positions the next 2 years. Issue still remains.
I don't think he's shown himself to be as good as Cousins. He could still improve but he's got a ways to go.

Agreed. He doesn't do a damn thing that I see as above average. In my mind, he's a solid backup. He cannot win games for his team like good QBs can.
I'd roll the dice and grab the best QB possible next year.
It’s quite possible there is no right or wrong answer/solution regarding Prescott and a long term deal. I firmly believe these no win situations exist in the sports world.
Big season coming up for Dak. Fuck him.
I know everyone wants to emulate the Cowboys because of their line, but I really don’t agree with their strategy. Pay Prescott whatever he wants!

There's a right answer with Prescott: trade him after this season to a team stupid enough to give him the contract he'll want. Then draft his replacement. They'd be just fine.
Shit, they could have done that this past offseason and drafted Lamar Jackson at #19. They'd be better at QB and have whatever they got in trade.

Possibly better and Jackson likely needs time to develop into a pro qb. Most collegiate qbs do.
Prescott doesn’t get hurt and doesn’t suck. He can escape the pocket and make plays with his legs as well. Those aren’t end all be all traits but not exactly dime a dozen traits either.
Hopefully dallas makes the wrong decision. This is a big year for that team. I refuse to write them off anymore because when I do they play well, especially defensively.
I don't see any reason Lamar Jackson (way more talented than Prescott ever was or will be) or another draft pick couldn't do the same.
What's more likely? That the Cowboys got lucky with Prescott or that their excellent OL and RB carried them?
64%, 3118 yds, 26 TDs/10 INTs, 100 QBR
63%, 3357 yds, 26:9, 101 QBR
Avg 63.5%, 3200 yds, 26:10, ~100 QBR
Player B first two seasons:
68%, 3667 yds, 23:4, 105 QBR
63%, 3324 yds, 22:13, 87 QBR
Avg 65.5%, 3500 yds, 22:8, 96 QBR
Conclusion: Tough sophomore year, the injury at left tackle midseason and Dez Bryant's collapse as a professional athlete didn't help matters. Its way too soon to determine if Dak Prescott is a franchise QB yet or not.
They should be able to sign whoever they wish.
They are by no means in a bad situation right now or in a rush. The last thing they should do is trade their QB for a rookie who was a disaster in the lead up to the draft and might not ever see the field as a QB.
Prescott could improve. He could regress. Time will tell.
