He's got two more years on his current deal. He won't get paid until after the 2019 season.

He needs to play well the next two years. The Cowboys need to put some better pieces around him while he's still on his rookie deal.

Not true

Cowboys can extend after the 2018 season (3rd season complete) and likely will barring him shitting the bed or getting injured.

If neither happen expect Dak to sign a big extension with hefty signing bonus and guaranteed money after this year.

Why would the Cowboys do this? Goodwill with a franchise player that will shortly have an expiring contract that could worth more on the FA market than what they will lock him in at. Dak would benefit from earlier guaranteed money. Scratch your back scratch mine arrangement. See Russell Wilson extending after year 3 for an example.

It definitely would help if he has a healthy line and receivers that don’t pout if they don’t get the ball every play. Not to mention backs that stay out of trouble

That's good news, particularly if he can receive a hefty signing bonus to effectively increase his 2019 pay.

I just recently learned of the NFL Performance bonus that is based on player participation on the field. The NFL basically doubled Dak's salary in 2016, and he got another 400K+ from the NFL this past season.

I could see them extending him in 2019.

Next year's QB FA class right now is headlined by Tyrod Taylor and Nick Foles. That's pretty uninspiring. Matt Ryan would be included, but he signed a year early with Atlanta.

Really wish it was a different team paying him. I hate the Romo-loving asshat fans that want to blame everything on Dak.

Not sure why they love Romo so much. They didn't do squat with him. Plus he stayed hurt his final 3 years or so.

Would love to have him in New Orleans as the successor to Brees. Strong O line, great backs, and a true #1 receiver in Michael Thomas. Come on down, Dak. A guy can dream, right?

The more they doubt Dak the hotter his fire will burn. He revels in it. Just the way dudes like him are wired. He gets them to the promised land and they'll be Romo-whoing

After watching the Dallas Cowboys Amazon TV show I don't think the Cowboys will win much of anything with Garrett as Head Coach. They need a head coach that will call some players and coaches out for sucking instead of all this love you kumbaya that's OK you"ll catch the next one kinda ****.
