The Cowboys repeatedly have said that they want to extend the contra

cts 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 http://www.authenticsdallascowboys.com/cheap-jeff-heath-jersey , 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, 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 http://www.authenticsdallascowboys.com/cheap-anthony-brown-jersey , “Amari will play year-to-year for 2019 and 2020, make more than $30 million, 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. Every week many of you here at BTB are polled on various things concerning the team and matters across the NFL. This is part of SB Nation’s new FanPulse tool. Sign up for the Cowboys FanPulse here to take our weekly surveys.One of the things each fan base is asked every week has to do with their upcoming game and the confidence surrounding it, from a point-spread perspective. Fans are asked how many points they expect their team to win or lose by. It’s interesting to see which fan bases have the best grip on their team so far this season.Cowboys fans are feeling confident for the final game before the byeFanPulse taught us this week that Cowboys fans are back, sort of. This particular fan base experienced the fourth-largest jump in confidence across all SB Nation sites and after a 40-7 win how could you expect the needle not to move a bit?This game is big for the 2018 Cowboys’ cause. First place in the NFC East is up for grabs. A win would also give them their first on the road, their first winning streak on the season, and it would set them up for a nice bye weekthat’ll feature a Redskins/Giants game and the Eagles playing the Jaguars in London.All of that confidence Color Rush Connor Williams Jersey , hope, and eyeing down the road had seemingly created a gazpacho of belief that the Cowboys will get things done this week. Although to be fair this group has sort of struggled at accurately predicting games this season.Cowboys FanPulse predictions this season:Week 1: FanPulse predicts Cowboys win by 6 (Panthers), Cowboys lose by 8Week 2: FanPulse predicts Cowboys win by 4 (Giants), Cowboys win by 7Week 3: FanPulse predicts Cowboys win by 6 (Seahawks), Cowboys lose by 11Week 4: FanPulse predicts Cowboys lose by 1 (Lions), Cowboys win by 2Week 5: FanPulse predicts Cowboys win by 4 (Texans), Cowboys lose by 3Week 6: FanPulse predicts Cowboys lose by 5 (Jaguars), Cowboys win by 33Cowboys FanPulse season record: 1-5Redskins fans have a weird sense of not really confidenceThe general feeling across the NFL this season is that save for a handful of top and bottom teams the whole league is wildly unpredictable. In the same way that the Cowboys have an embarrassing loss to the Texans, Washington lost to the Colts. It’s a week to week league.Those that have made the mistake in life of supporting the D.C. football franchise correctly anticipated beating the Cardinals (shocker there) and even the Panthers last week. Plenty of football fans were indeed shocked to see Carolina fall to the Redskins, but again things are unpredictable.You’d imagine that due to them coming off of a win Youth Tyron Smith Jersey , and considering that the fan base has predicted a win in four of their five games, that Redskins truthers would feel confident in the state of their team... but they don’t. Washington is one of the only teams coming off of a win to have actually regressed in confidence despite winning last week. It’s weird.Redskins FanPulse predictions this season:Week 1: FanPulse predicts Redskins win by 6 (Cardinals), Redskins win by 18Week 2: FanPulse predicts Redskins win by 9 (Colts), Redskins lose by 12Week 3: FanPulse predicts Redskins lose by 5 (Packers), Redskins win by 14Week 4: BYEWeek 5: FanPulse predicts Redskins win by 4 (Saints), Redskins lose by 24Week 6: FanPulse predicts Redskins win by 2 (Panthers), Redskins win by 6Redskins FanPulse season record: 2-3Both Cowboys and Redskins fans are predicting wins this SundayBarring a tie (there have certainly been more than enough this season) someone is going to walk away unhappy this Sunday at FedEx Field. Obviously we’re hoping it’s the Redskins, but everyone involved believes it’ll be the other team.Cowboys fans are predicting a win by 3Redskins fans are predicting a win by 6This is interesting to consider when you start looking at various odds given to this game. Oddsshark has the Redskins favored by two at the time of this writing, almost halfway between where the two fan bases lie. Who will be right? Who will be wrong? Considering Dallas has won every game played between the two teams over the last two years there are certainly a different sort of odds that lie in their favor. Let’s hope those win out.
