The entire problem before was the years on the contract
The Cowboys wanted to lock him up for 5 years and Dak wanted 4 years so he would have a better chance at hitting the market and getting another contract out of Jerry
So this is even worse than what was proposed before which was the sticking point in the first place.
Why would Jerry all of a sudden agree to a 3 year deal when he refused to agree on a 4 year deal the last two seasons?
Makes no sense at all
That’s why they haven’t agreed to a deal yet. Last season Dak wanted a 4 year deal. Stephen said “we just don’t do 4 year deals”. They want to lock him in a 5-6 year deal but Dak wants to be able to be a free agent again by the time he’s 30 years old and by the time the new tv money kicks in. So now that we are another year into negotiations he wants a 3 year deal now (again in order to hit FA by age 30). Stephen has already said they won’t do. 4 year deal so like you said, why would they do a 3 year deal.
That’s why it’s really looking like at the very least this will be Dak’s last year in Dallas.
It’s going to very interesting to see if they tag Dak on March 9th (the deadline to use the tag) and then trade him before the draft. If that happens I’m looking directly at Chicago who has pick 20. Would you take a 1st and 3rd for Dak? I would!
I would then try to trade down a couple picks (12-14) and draft Mac Jones from Bama. Or worst case, just pick him at 10. Then with the 20th pick I’m drafting Trevon Moehrig from TCU.
