The Cowboys repeatedly have said that they want to extend the contracts of quarterback Dak Prescott and receiver Amari Cooper. Prescott’s value will be difficult to calculate; Cooper’s won’t be.With Cooper under contract through 2019 at a salary of $13.924 million for the fifth and final year of his rookie contract Dallas Cowboys Customized Jerseys , the financial analysis is fairly simple.If the Cowboys attempt to extend Cooper now or in the offseason, agent Joel Segal surely would request, as a starting point, a full guarantee that matches the $13.924 million already in hand for 2019 plus a 20-percent raise for his franchise-tag year of 2020, which would be $16.7 million. (There’s a good chance the base franchise-tag rate for receivers will be higher than $16.7 million by 2020.) That’s a minimum of $30.6 million fully guaranteed at signing, for any deal done before the start of the 2019 season.Come 2020 Dallas Cowboys T-Shirts , it gets even more expensive, with Segal surely wanting the franchise tag amount for 2020 and 2021 fully guaranteed at signing. If the tag amount is $16.7 million for the first year, the Cowboys would be looking at $36.7 million fully guaranteed.Then there’s the Le'Veon Bell leverage, which would allow Segal to say something like this, “Amari will play year-to-year for 2019 and 2020, make more than $30 million https://www.dallascowboysfanshop.com/hats , and then maybe sit out 2021 and become an unrestricted free agent in 2022, unless you want to pay him quarterback money that year.”On the heels of a 180-yard, two-touchdown performance in the most-watched regular-season game in two years, Segal has even more reason to apply the kind of pressure that he applied to the Raiders with Khalil Mack — and that ultimately prompted the Raiders to trade Cooper for fear of Segal doing it all over again. Looking ahead, the hype is high for the Cowboys."WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections Dallas Cowboys NewsDallas Cowboys GeneralPredictions are rolling in and hype around the Cowboys is buildingNew,133commentsLooking ahead Dallas Cowboys Hoodie , the hype is high for the Cowboys.CDTShareTweetShareSharePredictions are rolling in and hype around the Cowboys is buildingSteve Mitchell-USA TODAY SportsWe’ve just entered the month of May which means that, unfortunately, there are still a lot of months to go before football season officially arrives.The NFL Draft has happened though, and that means that we know the basic idea of what rosters for each team are going to look like. Considering that we also know each team’s schedule this makes predicting the results of the season a little more easy (it’s still insanely hard).In looking towards the future there seems to be a growing sense of optimism regarding America’s Team. Thursday got started with Good Morning Football posing the question as to whether the Cowboys would have more or less than 10 wins in 2019, which would give them a better record than last season. All of their analysts said more.That’s three different people believing that Dallas will win at least 11 games. Surely that would be enough for a playoff spot and a likely second straight division title, it’s been a long time since the Cowboys put together back to back successful seasons of that caliber.The pressure was turned up just a bit more when it came to the Rich Eisen Show where Rich not only predicted the Cowboys to win the NFC East Cheap Jeff Heath Jersey , but to be playing in the NFC Championship Game. Well, he kind of said that.It’s hard to imagine what the world would be like if the Cowboys were indeed one game away from the Super Bowl... it would be chaos. Dallas continues to knock at the door ever so slightly on a not-exactly-frequent basis, some sustained levels of success would say a lot about the current state of the franchise.Maurice Jones-Drew seems to somewhat agree with Eisen by the way, at least in the sense that Dallas is going to be a serious contender. He has them winning 12 games in 2019, including 11 of their first 12!None of this means anything as predictions are hardly an indication of how any team will finish a given season. What it does note though is that the national narrative around the Cowboys is starting to change ever so slightly. There’s even a perceived confidence in Kellen Moore as people tend to buy that he’s going to have a worthy impact on offense.What do you think of the hype? Justified? Misplaced? Things are changing.
