If a lawyer wants to be at a good firm he can get paid a competitive salary that isn't the highest salary for lawyers in his position. DP would be getting paid a very competitive salary. I know more people who have chased a higher pay check only to leave that position and regret that they did not stay where they were. I suspect DP will not put the ego down, understand that he is 1 of 32 starting QBs in the NFL, take the $$, and be a leader. Instead, this will be the beginning of the end for him in Dallas.
