How's it been rough for Dak this year? Are you only talking about his contract situation? Because he's getting paid over $30M guaranteed this year. I don't feel bad for him financially whatsoever.
Oooh $30M! That was a one-year deal. He just lost (at least part of) his future earnings (whether that was another franchise tag worth nearly $40M or a long-term deal from Dallas or long-term deal hitting the open market) And well, way bigger than football, he lost his brother to suicide. Brother of Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott dies Dak Prescott sought help for anxiety, depression in the offseason
That tough luck for Dak. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/30094698/dak-prescott-dallas-cowboys-carted-field-ankle-injury He is playing on a one-year franchise tag that is worth $31.4 million as he and the team were unable to reach an agreement on a long-term deal. The Cowboys offered Prescott, 27, a five-year deal worth $34.5 million per season and more than $100 million guaranteed, but he opted to play this season on the tag, hoping for larger commitment.
Didn't see it live. Do I even want to watch a replay of it? Was it like what happened to Gordon Hayward?
The flipside is that wanting to maximize his money instead of taking the $200MM offered might now be a costly decision.
I despise the cowboys but I’d never wish ill on anyone. That really sucks for Dak because 1) that’s a nasty injury and 2) he was offered like $100mm guaranteed (if memory serves me right). While that’s not Mahomes or just under Watson money, that’s a lot of ****ing money. Now he’ll have to earn that money through rehab and determination ,above and beyond, what he’s already accomplished. As they say in the real work, greed can kill.
On a positive note for Dak's future: Alex Smith made it back onto the field today, after the worst leg injury I've seen since Theisman or Krumrie. Watch the 30-for-30 if you really want to know what he fought through. Much respect for that guy. eta: but back to Dak...football or lottery, you always take the guaranteed cash asap
Yeah He was being too greedy or his agent got him suckered. He’s not better than Watson and definitely not Mahommes. He should have taken the money this is DMo situation
