Dak just got a contract!

[GoPanthers123]

Cowboys just screwed up big

[Scott12345]

Absurd

I'd be worried about that ankle. I know they wouldn't have paid him if he hadn't cleared the medicals, but after a dozen games, makes you wonder how that thing is going to be holding up. 

[KSpan]

Yes, but is any of it in a cryptocurrency?

Look, Zeke already started practicing his limp.

[Khyber53]

What a huge investment. Could end up crippling the team for years if Dak doesn't come back 120% of what he used to be. I mean, he hadn't gotten a Lombardi yet... best I can tell he's only won one play-off game so  far.

$160 million for four years. Wow. Just flabbergasted.

 

[ForJimmy]

The drop off when he didn’t play was huge. Even with Dalton, ho has shown to be at least serviceable at times...

[Wanderlai]

All that money for a guy who couldn’t get it done and coming of a bad injury. Yikes. 

[Pimpdaddy]

They're gonna be suckin for some time but the NFL will still be jamming them down our throats for every primetime game...

I think the kid behind Zeke looked better last year.  I think Zeke is about done.

Interesting tidbit:

The Cowboys selected Prescott in the fourth round of the 2016 draft. He wasn't even their first pick in the fourth round as a compensatory pick, No. 135 overall. And he wasn't even their first choice. Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones was crushed he could not trade back into the first round to take Paxton Lynch. They wanted Connor Cook in the fourth round.

They settled for Prescott and got lucky. Really lucky.

And what was their record in those 5 games?  1-4?  Something like that?  He had to throw for that many yards because his D was swiss cheese.  Its generally not a good thing to have your QB throwing for that many yards.  That usually means you are losing....

Dak is a damn good player but those high salaries seem like it will make it tough to build a consistent winner.

Bad teams make bad decisions. Good on Dak, I love watching the Cowboys shooting themselves in the foot.
