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]

Yup. He has the power here, not the Cowboys. Dak will get paid a LOT...maybe not quite as much as he wants, but some team will step up and pay him. I bet the Cowboys will cave because they are scared to start over again. [Reply]

He’s been carried by a top defense and run game since entering the league, and hasn’t proven he can carry the load by himself. Only a handful of guys in the league are worth this pay range, and I don’t think Dak is one of them.

He’s a borderline top 10 QB. NFL QBs are extremely well paid no matter what your ‘tier’ is these days. [Reply]
