The DALLAS COWBOYS Are "America's Team" Whether You Like it or Not
So this statement is actually ambiguous, I could make the argument that the USA Olympic Team is actually "Americas Team". But the reality is:

Starting Qbs of Daks talent and age going price is 33-35/yr. Goff got 33.5 and rode gurley/mcvays/defense's coat tails to the sb while being barely more than a game manager. Wentz got 33 despite never playing in a post season and a sketchy at best injury history. Hell, Tannehill just got 30/yr and has been mediocre to average his entire career. Its just the way the market is right now. The hang up is on the years and terms right now, the money is set at 35mill. Hes not going to take less than what the tag is, ~31.5 + 37-40 next season, which averages out to around 35mill. What his side is wanting is a shorter term deal to capitalize on the new tv money that will be coming in the next year or so, which will explode the cap an estimated 20+%. Dallas wants a minimum of 5yrs so they can spread his gtd money around and manipulate the cap hit in years where they project to be tight on cap space. Luckily, we are projected ~7mill under the cap this season, ~50 next with only 3 starters, Dak, Awuzie and Woods needing to be resigned. Lewis as well if he can learn to cover, and maybe Dix if he lives up to the hype. The team is in a good cap spot for the next handful of years, and can also clear a bunch of cap by cutting high paid underperforming players like crawford. End of the day, hell end up signing the 5yr, 175mill deal just prior to the july deadline. As for endorsement money, that is a non factor. He didnt even crack the top 10 last year in total endorsement deals. Guys like Matt Ryan, Cam Newton, Peyton Manning, OBJ did. If you are a star player, you will get big endorsement deals no matter where you play. And yeah, GO COWBOYS!!! Everyone that says Cowboys arent America's team are commies.

^^^ Yeah and it's clueless fanboy like you that obviously don't understand shit when it comes to financials of the entire TEAM.
Let me help you... Chew on this... No team has won a Super Bowl with a quarterback making even $20M annually. FACTS!!! https://www.nbcsports.com/boston/pat...story-tells-us |

I don't know if Dak is an elite QB in the real world sense. I can say that in the world of fantasy FB he is right up there now. Since getting Amari and adding Ceedee Lamb he will probably be drafted in the top 5 this year.
As an outsider (who is begrudgingly an AZ Cardinals fan) I like DAL chances of getting to the playoffs and making some noise. Dak, Amari, Ceedee, Zeke and that O line scream points scored. Depends on the D if they can dominate. |

Since mid 2000s, you average at least 1 of the qbs in the NFC/AFC Championship game has been in the top 10 of qbs paid, and a lot of times the top 5. To add to it, QBs that are paid in the top 5 of salaries have made the playoffs more times than not. Brady has been an outlier as he routinely took less than top dollar (even though still typically in the top 10), but guys like Brees, Wilson, Rothlisberger, Cousins, Ryan, Rodgers, Garoppolo, etc. have all had success while still being paid in the top 5. Even Peyton like that article used as an example, was the #6th highest cap hit qb that season, and his APY put him in the top 2. A twitter thread to read through. The fact is, the Cowboys are in a few year window where they have the best chance of going deep in the playoffs. They squandered the last 4 with bad coaching, you really want them to squander the next 4 with bad qb play? They have plenty of cap space, the cap will go up, and they will continue to draft well so they can let overpriced FAs go at positions that are not as important as qb.

all of these guys have been paid as the highest paid qb at some point. qb salaries =/= team success no matter how much the cowboys front office shills want to tell you. In todays NFL, you need a good offense and a serviceable defense (see Chiefs) or a top qb and a top defense (see pats). To get that, you have to pay a good qb top dollar or get lucky and draft a generational talent in Mahomes. Do you think Mahomes and the chiefs will all of a sudden suck when he gets paid his massive contract?

I hope Dak signs this deal as it would be great news for every other NFL team.

Go ahead and rub it in that the Cowboys are indisputably "America's Team". The article you reference makes a strong case for it.
Now that we have that out of the way, wouldn't you like it better if they actually won more games? |
