NFL 2019 NFL - Week 1

[Brasher]

Doubt it's Cooper since they gave up a first for him....which leaves the QB, who they will probably just franchise tag and go from there.

The way things are going the franchise tag for a QB going into the 2020 season could hit $40M (jk!)

Edit: Looking at the Cowboys 2020 salary cap, they are on the hook for $135m in active contracts, leaving roughly $65M in space available, but that only accounts for 38 contracted players and excludes Prescott ($2m salary cap hit in 2019) and Cooper ($14M in 2019).

2019 Franchise Tag values for QB and WR in 2019 was $26M and $17m respectively. Not out of the realms of possibility that both figures could hit 30 and 20 for next season. That's a fair chunk of available space chewed up right there.

Now I am sure the Cowboys employ guys specifically to overcome this problem but the point is, given the age profile all being similar, that's a big commit for a club on three players that arguably do not play to the Cowboys best units (which in my mind are defensive front 7 and oline).

Edit: Corrected Dallas No 1 WR name following my early on set dementia.

Well, Dak wants 40m per over multiple season's..so its still a cheaper option

plus you could always trade him.

and Toomer ($14M in 2019)

Is there a reason why you keep referring to Amari Cooper as Amani Toomer?

Only my own stupidity

He's an old man, leave him alone.

 

[Brasher]

Exactly.

I even bought a mid life crisis car the other day to prove it, I just can't remember where I parked it.

When does the season start? Seriously, the last few days before a new NFL season kick off are like endless rainy Saturdays.

 

[drd23]

That's actually a pretty good deal for both sides. Zeke gets some more money up front, and the Cowboys can fairly easily cut him in 4 or 5 years (which will presumably be the end of his prime) if he isn't playing up to that $12-15m salary

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Jerry didn't get all his money from being an idiot, shrewd business man. Back end the living shit out of it and get out easy if required. He'll just get Zeke to restructure if hes still a beast in 6 years time.

AB ....smh. It was all going along beautifully for this past week too

There must be controversy.

I agree with the guy at 2.10, anyone having issues with AB really need to examine their own expectations etc, in what world was something like this not going to happen? It's just AB AB'ing.

Cares more about Instagram than peace and harmony between him and an organisation who just paid him a shit tone of cash. Since the Burfict hit he has completely lost his mind, literally...There are some things you complain about in private and to your own people, not the world, he gets worse by the day.

Meh.

If when he gets on teh field he doesnt deliver, then people have the right to lose their minds. Until then, accept him for who he is or find a more worthwhile cause to be outraged about.

So, his stats are more important than team success you believe, cool.

It is, but doesn't factor in Prescott and Toomer Cooper being unsigned...the issue is not 2023, its going to be 2021 when what normally happens to the Cowboys happens...over invest on the jewelry and forget about the underwear....Prescott/Toomer Cooper/Elliot is not Aikman/Irwin/Smith.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

The 2019 Dolphins team Calander, all your favourite players.....no longer with the team

That's a let off for dickheads to keep acting like dickheads. These guys are on multi-million dollar contracts the least they could do is act like professionals.

It's the way the industry is. Players have too much power. The teams could get together and blacklist a player doing this (no matter how good they are) then no future player would do it

That would be great fun, then players wouldn't play and would kneel or plank or stand on the head or something.

Cool then just replace those players and move on. There are lots of players not in NFL who'd like to be

Funny guy....the best players throw the biggest tantrums don't you know?

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

That's why when you're spending big money on star players, each team should have a no dickhead policy, then it might sink in, the owners handing out money to w***ers like AB are half the problem.

It's all part of the theater & provided they deliver on gameday, someone will employ them, so on it goes.

Didn't you know the XFL is full of ABs just waiting to blow up the ticket sales.

Why can't every athlete just be like Tom Brady
