Yup, playing hardball w/ the wrong guy. But they get extorted by Scan and triple his salary no questions asked after he makes a scene?
swagboy family, i have been patient but jerry is starting to drag this out way too long now. pay the man already.

Dez needs to take the $12,000,000 and go play. Make a point next season but for now, take the money and maybe contend for a SB.
12 million is like 3 million below the top paid too iirc.. it's not like he's getting pennies out there
OMG ! ! !
A deal will be done by Wednesday. Book it.
Fish breaks it down well here:

nah. he's our best player and should be taken care of. its in both parties best interests too sign a multiyear deal sooner rather than later.
I agree it's in everyone's best interest to sign something. But short of that, it's in Dez's best interest to take the money and play. He's not going to get that 12,000,000 back very quickly.
first off, its a pleasure to talk football with you without the trolling
and yea i understand dez should sign the tag but what if he doesn't? then he misses camp(not a big deal) and some regular season games(big deal)
remember when emmitt went through the same ordeal and he held out into the regular season until jerry caved? its just another distraction that we don't need. i would really like to know how far apart they are on the numbers.
I can understand Dez skipping camp, but I don't see him missing any games. It doesn't make sense $$$ wise to skip games. However, I still say a deal gets done by the deadline. It benefits both sides.
What a bunch of bull , the cat will get his $$$$$. Why all this silly .....???
He dropped the ball when it mattered most and he wants to get paid more than they're offering? GTFOH...
The deal will get done. Look what happened with Emmitt back in the day. He sat two games following the year he rang and won the rushing le. Dallas opened the season losing two games. Jerry finally caved, Emmitt came back, the team got back on track, and they repeated.
Jerry knows Dez is a rare talent and he's learned over the years not to blow ridiculous contracts on just any player. Dez will get paid by Wednesday.
Times have changed. The way I understand it Dez can't negotiate after 15 Jul like Emmitt did back in the day. What I don't know is whether he can sign the tag after 15 Jul? Not sure and hope I'm wrong.
Switching so my posts are more visible. Same here.first off, its a pleasure to talk football with you without the trolling

I agree. The distraction is bad. And the Cowboys will not have a chance without Dez. But that's $12,000,000 he's giving up. For his own good, he should take it and play his ass off. He'll come out looking like the bigger man. And if he has a good year and takes them a long way, then he's got even more negotiating power. And maybe a SB ring. Imagine Jerry trying to pull this again if that happened. But yeah...would rather see him get paid and be happy for the season.
I believe he still can sign his tender after the 15th but can't negotiate a long term extension .with one day to go looks like dez is gonna sit out unless jerry caves and gives him megaton money
Thanks man. Dallas has been much better at the contracts they have been handing out as of late. There has to be something we don't know about Dez that's making them hesitate to pay him because his on field play absolutely warrants it. He'll lose anywhere from $750K-$800K/game if he holds out. That's a lot of dough to lose because you don't want to sign a $13M franchise tag. That being said, I bet he'll cave.
He's a wide receiver for starters and two, he has absolutely no leverage here.
him.
His agents are part of JayZ's crew. They're idiots for not telling him to just shut up and play.
He has plenty of leverage. Sitting out significantly hurts the Cowboys chances. But he has to be willing to lose out himself. Which is why they just need to get something done. If he signs, it's win/win. If he sits out, it's lose/lose.
Neh, Dez comes out wayyyy worse on the lose/lose side of things. He's a wide receiver which GMs are finally figuring out is the most over valued position on the team.
I think the Cowboys would be fools to not call his bluff
maybe leaguewide, WR is overvalued. but not when the WR is one of the top few in the league and your #1 playmaker.
I will say that Dez runs the risk of losing value if the Cowboys manage to do well. But he's a game changer at WR.
When he signed with Jay-Z I immediately started worrying about him re-signing longterm.
