The Dallas Cowboys believe their two-years-worth of contract offers to Dak Prescott have been all about “respect.”
Dak’s side now wants something more: “Respect” in the form of a new proposal that would put his salary “right behind” that of two-time Super Bowl QB Patrick Mahomes.
Prescott is “looking to be paid right behind Patrick Mahomes, a guy who’s gone to the Super Bowl two years in a row,” NFL Network’s Jane Slater said on the Dan Patrick Show. [Reply]
:-) Holy shit the Cowboys cap is a disaster. They'd have to clear 20 million just to place the tag on him and that's still right up against it. [Reply]

Cowboys are like the WFT: neither will win under their current ownership. [Reply]
Best possible scenario for the Chiefs is all of these lesser QBs getting contracts in the ballpark and eventually exceeding that of Mahomes. Teams paying lesser QBs the same money for inferior results is a win for us. [Reply]
I know that everyone is supposed to hate Dak and love Deshaun, but with how contracts are now Dak is probably gonna get $40 mil/year and he can justify getting more than Deshaun.
Frankly I don't think either are worth it, but Dak should get more than him because the next guy up always gets more than the guy that got paid before him. Both of them have 1 playoff win and if you look at QBR Dak has been better.
Dak P. QBR
16'- 77.6
17'- 69.9
18'- 55.2
19'- 71.9
20'- 78.7
And D Watson QBR
17'- 83.5
18'- 61.8
19'- 70.5
20'- 70.5
The wording of this makes it sound kinda dumb, but at least he's not saying he wants Mahomes money. He just wants to be the next highest paid QB and he will 100% get it. [Reply]
I totally agree that paying Dak "right behind Mahomes" is the perfect way to show him the respect he is due, just as long as this takes place right before Patrick takes a dump. [Reply]
Mahomes’ contract has set the NFL on fire. Dak wants out of Dallas. Wilson wants out of Seattle. Watson wants out of Houston. Franchise QBs used to never leave the team where they made their bones until late in the twilight of their careers. Now we have 3 top 10 QBs that are disgruntled in the prime years of their careers.

An astute and accurate analysis, Mr. cdcox. We may well be observing the Mahomes Effect first-hand.

If he plays out the last year on the tag and hits the open market he could probably get more than Mahomes APY. [Reply]
