N/S Dak Prescott

The Cowboys have to be thrilled. They didn’t give him the big $$ contract and now he’s damaged goods. I think it’s disgusting and the franchise tag should be abolished.

Totally agree. At least require the team and league to pay some form of compensation beyond just an injury settlement. Don’t know how one would structure it but it could be based on where the contract talks stalled for a year or something.

The NFLPA should insure their prized earners so that he gets at least 50% of what he would get current market value that he was at the time of injury...

Poor Dak. He had to play football for a measly 31 million dollars. More money than most people make working their whole lives. Heck, ten life times. Even if he never played another down, if he's not set for life, it's his own fault. He was offered 100+ million dollars on a long term deal. He CHOSE to turn that down in hopes of making more. He CHOSE to play for 31 million. The highest end salary the market bares. I'm sorry that the guy broke his leg and in such a gruesome way. I hope he recovers fully and he's able to resume his career if he chooses and makes millions of dollars in the process. But, forgive me if I save my concern for those far less blessed.
