Yet another article attempting to pump up DP and portray the Cowboys as the bad actor in this long drawn out contract soap opera.

FACT - say what you want about Jerry Jones, but he pays the key players very well, sometimes OVERPAYS them That is indisputable. This "imminent" deal was just one of "multiple" generous offers put on the table, just to be turned down by DP. He apparently got a swelled head after beating up on three bottom feeders, NYG, WAS, MIA and then reneged on this "imminent" offer. One can imagine, Jones was not happy about this, with good reason. I guess $175 MILLION is not enough. BTW, what happen to the guy who said in an interview on ESPN in 2020, "I don't play the game for money"? Subsequently, the rest of that year, he goes 5-8, playing poorly in second game for the division vs Eagles, scoring a pitiful 9 points on three FGs, 0 TDs. So his "career year", with the glitzy stats, produces a mediocre 8-8 record. Before his injury this year, he was 2-3 and should have been 1-4, if one keeps it real.

Look, if one can't see that this contract drama has been 90% on DP, than one just has not been paying attention. This notion that DP was "put in the position to prove himself again" is just bogus.

Despite the talk about DP wants to be a Cowboy and Cowboys want DP as their QB, one has to wonder. That said, I would not be surprised if they overpay DP, and at the same time would not be surprised if they had enough of the drama and go in a different direction.

Bottom line, TEAM COMES FIRST. NO ONE PLAYER is indispensable. If they can trade a Joe Montana or a Jerry Rice...
