Should Dak Prescott Take Less Money So the Cowboys Can Pay Lamb & Parsons? | The Rich Eisen Show 

The Cowboys should just move on from DAK and make this question irrelevant.

The Cowboys are paying the price for being indecisive. If they wanted to re-sign Dak, they should have done it earlier before Kirk Cousins and Jared Goff signed their new contracts. If they wanted to move on, they should have gotten his replacement.

Did Rich get a tan? Dude looks good!

Wow, Brockman makes perfect sense for once

A Day without sports talk speaking about the Boys is like a day without sunshine.

Did parsons even play in that national embarrassment vs Green Bay?

The Mahomes contract is how everyone should do these things. Pay him at the top tier, but structure it out over a long period that gives you room to adjust it here and there in the off season to keep talent on the team.

These players today are entertainers. They aren't going to take less pay so a team mate can have it. And probably 90 percent of them really don't care if the team succeeds. But the QB's that have truly had great success like Brady, Manning, and Mahomes have done deals where they are flexible with the cap number.

If he thinks of himself as a team player then absolutely!

Also, you mentioned with money you get respect. In sports money gets you things, championships get you RESPECT...Just as Troy, Emmitt and Michael (The Championship Triplets).

Dak wants $60M, CeeDee wants $30M to $35M, Micah wants $35M. The 2024 NFL salary cap is $255M. So those 3 players will be around half of the Cowboys’ salary cap. Hard to make it beyond the Divisional round when you only have half the salary cap to pay the remaining 50 players on the roster. CeeDee is the real deal, so he should get paid. Micah is good for the first 12 games or so, then he runs out of gas or something when it comes to getting sacks. If Dak doesn’t get beyond the Divisional round again after 2024 season, that’ll be 9 seasons he didn’t get it done. At that point, try someone else who costs a heck of a lot less so you can beef up your defense more. Hard to beat another team if they can eat up the clock by just ramming the ball down your team’s throat and run the ball like crazy.

Goff's contract guarantees that the Lions will be letting star players walk in a couple of years when that year or two of draft studs comes due. Brockman's rant is spot on

Hope Jerry don't even offer Dak a new contract. As a sickened Cowboys fan, i never believed in Dak. Shoulda let Romo have his job back when he came back from injury back then....

No one employees take less than the market value regardless of performance.its the market.

They can pay all three of those guys without anyone taking less. Everyday it’s some bs about dak

If Prescott gets paid more, I feel Lamb and Parsons should seek other teams. Cowboys justt ain't it. You might win games with them sure, but if you ever wanna sniff a SB, you should be on some other team

The big question is,why would they pay DAX alot of money. He hasn't performed up to par against teams with a winning record. Dax is the problem!

Like this host

Dak should take less money because he isn't an elite quarterback.

Dak has to go! That it.

I don’t want Dak to take less money, per se. I want Dak to take his true market value and it’s not resetting the market. It’s Jared Goff money at the ceiling.

Chris is right. Dak can talk all he wants but if he wanted to get it done itd be done. But I agree that it really shouldn’t be daks job, that’s the job of the franchise to manage money correctly and stop taking franchise tags that eat cap

Give him another years,let him see if he can prove the media wrong.He better be playing lights out ball.

Goff deserves more money than dak Goff has accomplished more than dak in terms of winning games dak falls on his face in the playoffs

Why does this guy assume Dak is it for the Cowgirls? Guy has consistently dropped the ball when under pressure in the off-season. Lamb and Parsons I would agree with him but Dak is replaceable for this team - actually Dak should be replaced on this team. But then we have Jerry and his 'all in' crap - Cowboys going to end up paying Dak because nobody else will come QB for them anymore, at the same time Lamb and Parsons are going to get paid by someone next year and if they have any sense it won't be with the Cowgirls - Jerry basically gave the team Free Agency by letting their contracts expire. I believe Parsons will still have a year left on his but that's when he should throw Jerry under the bus and refuse to talk about an extension and give them the choice of selling you on or letting you walk the following year.

He should, but he wont, cause hes cheap...

When Tom Brady was taking "home town discounts" it DIDN'T effect the money other qb's were getting so your argument is invalid. Dak can choose to take the discount and try to win championships IF he actually wants to win championships. BTW...Do NOT call Dak, Cee Dee and Micah the triplets until they actually win a championship. Right now these 3 gentlemen are just players with nothing to show other then the money they've earned or the money they're about to earn.

I don't care what he gets paid as long as it's not in Dallas. But if he is, he should take less because he's less than a top tier QB. So he shouldn't get paid like one. Parsons needs to show up after his 13th sack of the season or in the playoffs before I put him on Ceedees level.

Dak's behavior in his last contract negotiation proves he plays for money big-time

Yes.

Hell f_ucking no! That’s Jerry’s problem.

As Dak is in his early 30's, and CeeDee and Micah are still in their mid-20's, Dak should get as much money as he can out of this contract. As a four-year contract will take him to age 35...gotta-get-paid now. It'll probably be four years, $220 million, with $180 million guaranteed.

The hoodie under a suit jacket look is a…choice.

Aron Donald helped the Rams in 2 Superbowls. Remember that Boring 1 with the Pats 13-3. Aron showed up, remember Burrow driving for the potential go ahead score but Aron Donald showed up again. Micah can't even show up for above .500 teams. The dude is a joke, if he gets paid he should thank the Giants & Commanders for their contributions.

Aikman Emmitt and Irvin all took pay cuts so they could pay their own guys in 94....If your not playing money why is your cap hit 55 million with 20 million in commercials come on man thats a comment he would like take back

Sorry but TJ making it out like Brady could only sqweak by on 10s of millions per year because he had a rich wife is insane.

cowboy fan here, dont play for money? its not what you say, its what you do

No you pay Lamb and Parsons first and if Dak won't accept what's left, you let him walk. You aren't winning with Dak anyways.

Give Dak a 10 year for 400 mil 200 guaranteed, then pay CeeDee and micah

How much is he making this year? Isn’t that the deal he asked for? He asking for big money and another four year deal.

The white bald guy is absolutely correct. He is rich already. If Dak wants to win then take 40 million per yr fully guaranteed so other key players can be payed.

Cowboys are not needing to pay the players since they cant get it done in January. All the teams he talked about who paid their players did something that the Cowboys havent done in a while. Will more than one playoff game. 😂😂😂

I hope they pay him and have to let Lamb or Parsons go. That way they will be severely diminished as a team while having Dak who hasnt been able to get it done. Im the opposite of a Cowboys fan obviously. Lets Go 9ers!!!

Dak should do whatever Dak wants to do. Someone is going to pay him too much money next year. (Think Kirk Cousins) Having said that, I hope the Cowboys let him walk, or if they resign him, resign him in the 40 million dollar range. If he wants to stay a Cowboy, and the Cowboys want him, then bless him. 18 wins and 24 losses for his career in the regular season against teams with the .500 or better record. Additionally, I'm amazed how many people, many of them being experts, can be so delusional that they think he actually deserved to come in number two in the MVP voting last year. Yes, his stats were great, but against the really good teams how did he fare? He played horribly against San francisco, the Bills, and even played poorly to lowly Phoenix. Yes, they won 12 games last year, but the telling games that really are a barometer for how good a team is were uncompetitive disasters. And key to those losses (although of course, not entirely his fault) was Dak's individual play in those games. His competency level was not up to par in giving his team a chance to win. History repeats, and too many times Dak has shown in the big pressure games of the regular season and the playoffs that he cannot get it done. You can see it in his body language. You can see it in his face. Great guy, but not a big game player. We've seen 8 years of this now. He can't put a team on his back and play brilliantly through adversity, serious adversity, like a Patrick Mahomes, or Tom Brady. Anything can happen on any given Sunday, yet I don't see anything happening on any given Sunday for 3 or 4 weeks in a row in the playoffs. The Cowboys could maybe, slightly have a chance to win the Super bowl with Dak. However, 8 years of observation casts that in serious, almost impossible doubt. This from a Cowboys fan who wants to see the team win another Super bowl before I die. LOL

Brockman spot on!!

Yes. Then get some endorsements

It's funny he says he doesn't play for money. That's your first lie. What's your next lie?

These conversations are really asinine. Everybody acts like Dallas is the only team on God's green Earth that has 3 Stars that demand top money get real. Other teams have the same thing, if not more.

A quarterback of dak play is Kirk cousin market on a different team not cowboys

The dak prescott jared goff comparisons are insane, goff was a first round draft pick, technically he’s supposed to have more success than dak lol.

Kirk, Lions paaaaid all them dude's and they'll have nothing left when it's time to re-up Laporta and Hutch. You can't paaaaay everyone

Purdy Hurts and Goff deserve more because they participated. They didn’t win but hey pay 2nd place qbs who are essentially role players tho 😂😂👍🏿

I 100% percent agree with Chris. Actions speak louder than words

No.why should he not get paid..so they can get paid.might be his last chace to get paid..

The Eagles and Lions haven't won anything yet?

No he should take nothinhg and find a new home in free agency

Dak isn't worth a pay raise. JJ needs to move on from him..

NO. If Jerry didn’t extend him, he shouldn’t lift a finger to help Jerry’s team.

If Dak wants to compete for and ultimately win a SB with the Dallas Cowboys he should take less money.

Good analysis without Rich’s bias towards the Cowboys

NFL should consider removing the QB salary from the salary cap.

Rich MIA again?!?!?

Did Rich forget to pay the studio light bill? The picture is dark AF.

If you give your employer a discount, it *might* lead to team success. If you insist on top dollar, it will *definitely* lead to you getting paid more. Always get paid.

Dak’s not serious about making a Super Bowl or else he WOULD take less money just to ensure Jerry & Stephen signed some better players than they have now. If you look at the roster, it DOES look like a bigger, more violent roster than last season. So, he’s doing his job.

Dak was paid

Watching him piss his pants every year in the playoffs won’t be as fun if he’s not in Dallas I hope,they greatly overpay, again, for a mediocre QB

Nope

Y u

Dak deserves his $$$. Pay that Man his $$$.

Parsons wants to be an EAGLE… break out the VCRs and watch 96 tape over and over and over again 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

NO! Dak should make as much as possible. Not his problem.

God bless! Jesus Christ is King and saves and is the way! Psalms 62 - "Truly my soul finds rest in God; my salvation comes from him. Truly he is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken." Jeremiah 29:11 - "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

I love Brockman but why he out here spending other people’s money 😂😂😂😂😂😂 If Dak can command 60mils a year and him knowing that there is someone out there to pay him then Dak is well in his right to get PAID!!!!

Why should he. The other QBs isn’t taking less money

Absolutely not. He should take every single penny he can get. He knows Jerry isn't about to hand the keys over to the bust at backup. This team isnt set up to win in 3-5years, they're set up to win NOW. (I don't think Dak is the guy to get it done, but that's irrelevant) Jerry doesn't have a choice. No QB, Lamb is useless. No QB, Micah is useless. No Lamb, Dak is useless. No, micah, they're still contenders, just slightly less.

Dak is an all pro mvp qb. Why should he take less?????????

😂

Where’s Rich?.. these guys sound like amateurs. Dak doesn’t need to take a pay cut to free up money for roster flexibility. They just need to sign Dak and Ceedee and bam. Real Money available. Why not do real research?

Yes but he won’t

Yes.

Micah disappears at the end of the season and in the playoffs has been invisible

Yes for Lamb. Let Parsons go.

He should take less money because he's not a 50m a yr. QB. Herbert should've taken less and given the organization more room to protect him as well. So far, they're equal in their play and greed.

they just put anyone behind the mic..🙄🤡ota's are geared for rookies language system rookies are behind the 8 ball if there not there not vets.
