FRISCO – Dallas Cowboys faux-hater Stephen A. Smith's offer of a contract solution for Dak Prescott was very generous…
Except for the fact that ESPN “First Take” clearly doesn't understand the Dak Prescott contract issue.
“I know sometimes I get so critical of the sickeningly disgusting fan base. I love trolling them, but seriously,” Smith said. He said, “This is the contract.''
But then Smith kept rattling off Dak's stats and the fact that “Dak can throw the ball” etc…without actually guiding us as to what the “trade” should be. was.
“In 2022, we led the league in interceptions, and in 2023, we're going to lead the league in touchdown passes,” he said. Someone has to play quarterback. ”
this is true. This is clear. But that's a very common view…
How about a “trade” when it comes to the inflated cap hit (reduced slightly to $55 million in 2024)? And when it comes to our belief that Prescott's asking price could be the NFL. What about the “deal”? $60 million higher in APY?
Smith is not against anyone here. He is waving his fist at the clouds. While there are certainly some in Cowboys Nation who don't believe in Prescott as a Super Bowl winner, those fans are smart enough to realize that there will be a vacuum if he is allowed to leave in free agency in the spring of 2025.
Smith also notes that the Cowboys need to pay off Micah Parsons and CeeDee Lamb soon, but it's likely that a) Dallas has Parsons under contract for two more years; , b) You probably don't know that the planned deal with Lamb won't add cost to Dallas. 'Cap; in fact, his impact in 2024 will probably see him cut by as much as $10 million.
“Dak Prescott can throw the ball, I know it,” Smith says, and some people even want to debate that claim, but it seems so obvious to us too. But “Dak Can Ball” and “Pay The Man!” are bumper sticker clichés. Saying these things can fill up a portion of the television. However, that does nothing to resolve the “contract.” Because “contract” is about contracts, not about ESPN's “sickeningly disgusting” exaggerations.
