Dak’s emotions have pulled a chair up to the negotiation table.

Respect is earned and paid in a different kind of currency altogether. It can’t simply be monetized.

Situations like this remind me how young these players are.

Doesn't really have anything to do with youth. It's the society we are in, plain and simple. Look at JJ Watt chasing the money to a team that won't win anything, when he's one of the most "respected competitors" in all of Football, nearing the end of his career, and saying all the right things.

$1 million/yr less?
$5 million/yr less?

Pat is at $45 mil/yr

and

Deshaun is at $39 mil/yr

I know that everyone is supposed to hate Dak and love Deshaun, but with how contracts are now Dak is probably gonna get $40 mil/year and he can justify getting more than Deshaun.

Frankly I don't think either are worth it, but Dak should get more than him because the next guy up always gets more than the guy that got paid before him. Both of them have 1 playoff win and if you look at QBR Dak has been better.

Dak P. QBR

16'- 77.6
17'- 69.9
18'- 55.2
19'- 71.9
20'- 78.7

And D Watson QBR

17'- 83.5
18'- 61.8
19'- 70.5
20'- 70.5

The wording of this makes it sound kinda dumb, but at least he's not saying he wants Mahomes money. He just wants to be the next highest paid QB and he will 100% get it.
