jk, mild.
I agree that Dak will likely become the highest paid QB with his next contract. Dak has all the leverage and when a good QB is completely unrestricted, he'll get the Brinks truck.
I never said the bolded. Merely that he will have terrific leverage, and will likely get a substantial contract from either Dallas or another team pretty much regardless of how this year goes.
As in, I think pretty much all of this:

It is not about a side or even leverage if you really think about it. Either you really believe Dak is worth a long term contract in the 60 plus million range TODAY or you don't.
The Cowboys don't need to sign him today and it looks like Dak will need a great year to get his money from Dallas or another team.
... is wrong.
No, you didn't say it exactly. And whether he's #1, 2 or 4 in the avg$/yr, it's all the same once you get to that point.
But your point that Dak will get paid is impossible to dispute. And being able to choose his destination in the process is the chef's kiss on top of the money.
I imagine Kirk would have been happy getting that payday anywhere. But getting it in a city that fits his family's desires has to be a lot better than being signed+traded to somewhere not of his choosing ... say Denver. For Dak to be in his prime, get the money, and choose the team is going to be great. I can't wait for next offseason.
