If anything, Gordon is TNF/Tied in Forever to his dual agents apparently giving him bad advice...If he's smart, he'll fire both of them and just represent himself...but I'm sure they both have a painfully expensive severance clause in their contracts... -

Dak Prescott reportedly turned down $30 million per year offer, wants $40 million annually
The Dallas Cowboys are familiar with this dance.
When they finally approached Dak Prescott to broach the topic of his inevitable contract extension, they did so with an initial offer in hand. While, officially, it's unknown what their first offer was, there's a new report that suggests the latest offer from the team involves an average annual salary of around $30 million -- per Michael Lombardi of The Athletic -- which lends to a recent proclamation by team exec Stephen Jones that Prescott, Amari Cooper, and Ezekiel Elliott all have "top-5" deals in front of them.
The problem for the Cowboys is obvious because a $30 million per year offer was more attractive earlier this offseason before two major events took place.
In April, the Seattle Seahawks reset the QB market by awarding Russell Wilson a historic four-year, $140 million extension that includes $107 million in guaranteed money and, two months later, the Philadelphia Eagles raised the floor by granting Carson Wentz a four-year, $128 million extension that quietly exceeds Wilson's guaranteed metric with $107.87 million. That realistically puts the window for negotiation between $32 million AAS (average annual salary) and $35 million AAS, because Prescott isn't apt to accept less money than Wentz, and for good reason.
Despite Wentz having been a No. 2 overall draft pick, and Prescott a fourth-round compensatory selection, it's the latter having bested the former in nearly every category across the board -- from wins to passing yards to completion percentage to yards per attempt to game-winning drives to fourth-quarter comebacks, so forth and so on. It's also in the most important category of them all that Prescott owns the throne, having not missed a single game since ascending to the NFL ranks. Wentz, however, has played only one complete season in three years, and many are concerned about his longterm durability.
Despite all of this, Prescott's rookie contract maxes at $2.7 million -- ten times less than the $27 million Wentz was set to earn on his initial deal -- by virtue of the predetermined rookie wage scale.
He, like other rookies entering the league, didn't get a chance to negotiate his first deal. Now going into the second of his career, the former Rookie of the Year is finally getting a crack at making sure he's on the better side of his next agreement.
This is why it made sense for Prescott to wait the Cowboys out and continue playing the market, ultimately hoping to easily surpass Wentz financially. It's a foregone conclusion Wilson will remain the highest-paid quarterback in NFL history -- at least for 2019 -- but Prescott now sees $32 million annually as the beginning of any fruitful talks. Sure, a $30 million per year offer matches the fifth-highest paid QB in Matt Ryan, but the fact Wentz now makes more than Ryan is a keen reminder of how market value can often supersede accomplishments.
Ryan is more accomplished than Wentz, but the latter will now earn $2 million more per season than the former and garnered $7.8 million more in guaranteed money. So when Prescott reportedly countered the Cowboys' offer with a proposal of his own that came equipped with a $34 million per year salary,no one should've been surprised. Even with the latest news that he wants upwards of $40 million annually, per Jane Slater of NFL Network, it's all just the nature of the dance -- that dictates one party go low while the other goes high. For the sake of being thorough here, an alternate calls the $40 million per year report "all-caps false", per Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk.
Ah, the dance.
The Cowboys aren't floored by any of this, and talks remain ongoing at this time.

I guess I'm simple minded because I don't see why it's better to have the 40M. It certainly isn't difficult to live well on 30K. I guess it's all about ego.Originally posted by jamrock View PostTHE YEAR OF THE FLIP!Comment
