Just ridiculous! Prescott isn't even that good. He had a good rookie year... AND THAT'S IT.

Just another dumb@ss decision by Jerry Jones.

At least one of the sports media articles said that Prescott blinked, and should have played this year on a tag, and been a free agent next year.

Being that that Dallas Cowboys never make it to the playoffs, that’s $2.5 million per game.

Next thing you know, taxpayers will be voting to tax themselves to pay players’ salaries.

Nothing could ever top that ridiculous contract to Ezekiel Elliott. Between those two, good luck signing anyone else.

Yup - but the Cowboys are in no position to replace him with anyone better and franchise tagging him would run up a huge bill and guarantee an unhappy starting QB.

It's the same situation all over the league - adequate but not great QBs (Jimmy Garoppolo, Jared Goff) get record-setting deals. If their contract guy is smart and Prescott declines over the next year or two, they'll be able to cut him with little cap impact later.

Do they have enough room under the salary cap for this? Obviously they do, but, this has got to limit their flexibility to sign other players .

That is 2.5 million per game in a 16 game season. No wonder Russell Wilson is whining, he will be earning only 2 mil each Sunday next year. Insanity.

He’s just good enough to be difficult to replace.

“History will remember that Dallas could have had Prescott for far cheaper and a far more lengthy deal if it had worked to get ahead of the quarterback contract curve following the 2018 season, Prescott’s third year as a starter. It didn’t, perhaps believing that Prescott’s market would ultimately settle far lower than it ultimately did.”

So you put your future in the hands of a quarterback that you think has a declining value ...

I have decided to make an attempt to present a more positive outlook in my posts on FreeRepublic. So here goes.

*******************************************
*******************************************

Dak Prescott . . . achieved a four-year, $160 million deal

DAK LIVES MATTER

Agree. He is average at best.

I volunteer at a thrift shop/food pantry. And there it sat. A kiddy book all about the great Dak. It brought back all those trembles when everything was being put out crowning the Obamas. Both had 2 things in common:

1. Not good with the positions they held;
2. You get 3 guesses?

They were 1-3 and only beat the Falcons because it was the Falcons, before he got hurt. He’s 28, with a bum ankle and you drop over $60mil in a signing bonus to a guy who has produced NOTHING. If he’s so damn good, why did he only get 4 years?

The guy isn’t that good. He’s getting old and has $126,000,000 guaranteed for 4 years. At that number, absolutely NO ONE will ever take him, for any reason and Jerry and his sons will have to pay him even if he never steps foot on a football field.

If he was so good, they could have shopped him to the Seahawks to get a gauge on what the market would pay for a QB that ain’t that good. Then the Cowboys could have gotten their hands on Russell Wilson. But, I can guarantee that no one would give Prescott what the idiot Jones’s just did. They were worried about him being another Kapernick.

Makes you wonder how Jerry got so rich with a dumb decision like this.

At the end of the day it comes down to two words.............Tom Brady..........how much is he getting paid? Not what Prescott is getting paid....the Lord God, himself would not be able to explain why Prescott is worth more than the GOAT
