He said the Cowboys have been trying to get a deal done with Prescott since last off season. The two sides came close to deal in September on a contract that would have paid him roughly $33 million annually, sources said, before talks broke down when Prescott upped his asking price. “I don’t want to get into the details, but we have offered him significant money,” Jones said. “The money we have offered Dak no matter how you look at it would put him as a top five quarterback in the NFL. That is the way we feel about him. He is one of the best.” According to sources, Prescott is looking for a deal that would pay him as much or more than Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson, who is the league’s highest-paid player at $35 million annually. The rest of the top five consists of four other quarterbacks — Pittsburgh Steelers’ Ben Roethlisberger at $34 million, Los Angeles Rams’ Jared Goff and Green Bay Packers’ Aaron Rodgers at $33.5 million and Philadelphia Eagles’ Carson Wentz at $32 million. |
I agree with MOOPS, tag him and see what he does. Let him prove the worth.
If the Cowboys structure a contract that they could easily exit in a year or two, it doesn't matter what the average is.
Don't confuse how good he is versus what he is worth. He is worth what they'll pay him, which will end up being north of 33mm.
$33M/yr is very generous by Jerry. You could get Bridgewater for a cheaper contract.
He's 100% not worth $40m but he should absolutely try and get that.
I don't disagree but tagging atleast extends negotiations and also leaves the door open for a trade.
Its clear to me they don't think he's good enough to warrant being the #1 paid Qb in the NFL, and he's not, probably closer to top 10 than top 3. I think Dallas is playing this well which sucks.

I pretty much assume the guarantees will be huge. Dak and his agent aren't dumb, they know the per year average is irrelevant. I'm guessing he's eyeing $70m guaranteed as a floor (Wilson).
I agree
Don't give in Dak!! You drag this out as long as you can and force them to give you what you want. I think 45 million a year, 10 year contract, 300 million guaranteed sounds about right......
In other words put 'some' of your money where your ego is.
Next year when they still can't get a deal done, Dak gets 120% of the previous year, which will be over $40 million.
Then Dak leaves via free agency (see Kirk Cousins) and the Boys are left without a QB after spending $74 million for two years!
I don't even think he is worth 33 mil. He is nothing without that OL.
Glad this is happening in Dallas though.
Dallas could let Prescott go, get Winston on the cheap, and get similar performance, but have a lot better cap situation.
So either they pay or I think he holds out. He won't play on a tag. Zeke showed the way last year.

Actually - this is looking a lot like the Kirk Cousins situation. A 4th round QB who is decent but not a game breaker, and the team may know it.

Yeah, Winston threw for 30 INTs, but he also threw for 5,109 yards and 33 TDs. So Winston is at worst a fungible QB - like Prescott. Therefore, getting Winston for 1/3 of what Prescott is asking for, when Prescott is nowhere near an elite QB, is good value.
What's your counter point?
Please do this Dallas
thats not really how it works. He is next up so he gets paid at the top, not top 5

He won't have one, but you can bet he'll take a few words from your post and use it as a subject line.
As far as a Dak v winston debate I'll simply point out two key statistical differences. Dak's TD/INT ratio of 30TD/11INT. So there is elite production with over a 3:1 TD/INT ratio v. a 1:1 turnover ratio for jameis. Prescott's Completion percentage of 65.8% vs 61.3 for winston is also a clear advantage in his favor. That's equates to a lot of third down conversions.
If you understand and appreciate the impact turnovers and 3rd down conversions have on the results you should understand why the statement that winston gives you similar performance is a joke. Winston is essentially responsible for two turnovers a game before the opening kickoff. Arians comment on his QB situation... 'if we can win with this guy, we can with with someone else' says it all.
They aren't comparable players.
Absolutely. You’ve got possibly 4 QBs about to be drafted in the top 10, maybe 5 in the top 15. Then you’ve got the Colts and Chargers, possibly Saints all needing QBs that may not pick one Rd 1.
If Dak shook loose you’d have atleast 4 or 5 of those teams interested especially those outside of the top 5.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Dak is a "safe" choice that will never win the big game. Give Winston some time in the pocket and see what he does.
"Jerry...if you are listening..."

Does anybody think that there is another team that would offer more than $33 million a year for multiple years? I have no idea - just asking the question

Valid point, I just don't know if anyone would pay him higher than Wilson..He is not of the same caliber at all IMO

This is weak.
If you evaluate Dak objectively he isn’t worth 23 mil let alone 33 mil a year. He’s a limited QB who can’t win big games despite the fact that he’s played behind a superior OL with a superior run game and a solid D his entire career. Objectively he’s an average QB at best in this league.
Winston is a flawed QB but you’ll get the same production at half the price of Dak in Dallas.
but as fourth round picks go, he was a hell of a lot better find than kyle fucking lauletta.
