JohnC Posted April 3, 2020 Posted April 3, 2020 1 hour ago, GunnerBill said: I don't often say these words but when Rex says you pay Dak before Amari...... Rex Ryan is correct. Amari was a free agent so the Cowboys locked him up before he bolted this offseason. In contrast, the Cowboys had the ability to retain Dak as a RFA and then at a later time sign him to a long term bonanza contract. So it is understandable why the organization handled and sequenced the signings the way they did.

They could have tied up Dak and tagged Amari if they liked. Dak was their best offensive player last season. 2

Whether they tag him or not should be able to come to a contract deal fairly soon. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/cowboys-reportedly-offer-dak-prescott-a-monster-contract-with-105-million-guaranteed/

The Dak contract was going to be a lot more complicated and richer than the Amari contract. It was going to take more time to work out a deal. So they got the simpler contract done first. Do you really believe that the Jerry Jones and the Cowboys are not going to get a deal done with their qb? I don't.
Jpsredemption Posted April 3, 2020 Posted April 3, 2020 Who cares. Speak your mind and don’t get bullied into apologizing. The media in today’s day in age is a bully. Free speech is a thing of the past. Set aside feeling for Rex..this is ridiculous.

If Dak is smart he will allow himself to be tagged for 2 years and then take best deal he can.

First with the Zeke deal last year and then with the Amari deal. It is bad long term strategic planning. They should have got Dak done first last summer and his value has only increased since. 2

That's what Cousins did with the Redskins. It worked out for him. However, Dak is in a good situation with the Cowboys from a football and business standpoint associated with endorsements. I believe they will get a deal done because it is in the interest of both sides.

In negotiations there are two parties. If you can't get a deal done then you can't get a deal done. Zeke and his representatives recognized that in the long run time was on their side just as it was with Cousins and the Redskins. So they weren't afraid to use their leverage to get a highball deal. You can have all the strategic planning you want but the other side of the table also has a say. When all is said and done a deal will get done.

Free speech is a thing of the past. Set aside feeling for Rex..this is ridiculous. These days no one apologizes for anything. They see it as a sign of weakness. Most people just double down and take their rhetoric to another level, so I find Rex's apology for a totally uncalled for personal attack refreshing to be honest.
Don Otreply Posted April 4, 2020 Posted April 4, 2020 Frankly I very much like when I read about other teams do poorly thought out things that keep those teams from getting better any time soon. But maybe that’s just me being a Bills fan. Fuh K other teams. Go Bills!!!
MJS Posted April 4, 2020 Posted April 4, 2020 Rex had to put his foot in his mouth, you say? I'm shocked. But I also agree with the premise. Cooper isn't worth that much. The Cowboys are doing a lot to keep a team together that just plain doesn't perform...
