I keep seeing posts about him holding out or waiting until the very last minute to sign the tag in September and show up for work and that is ridiculous.
Let's start with what we know about him. The number one characteristic, and one even his detractors can agree with, is leadership. He is not going to let his teammates down. This is all business now. This will have 0 effect on his ability or desire to lead his team.
He has plenty of time to sign the tag because there is nothing happening right now. He's not the one that keeps trying to get a longer than 4 year contract. He has never, never, nor has his agent, said he is not signing the tag and reporting to work.
If he and his agent had ever considered a hold out, which I don't believe they did, that has changed. The situation has changed and with the unemployment continuing to climb, he and his agent know very well how a guy holding out with 31.4M sitting there, along with the endorsements, is going to play. He would be the most despised pro athlete in the world. Think those companies would keep him? Think again. The mood in this country is sour and we're just looking for someone to take it out on.
Throughout this entire ordeal, dating back to last off season, Prescott has handled himself well, taking care not to say the wrong things. These leaks? Not coming from his camp.
The money will get settled, either he will play for the tag or he will sign a 4 year extension, the standard QB contract over the last several years. He will be ready to go to work with his new coaching staff, installing a new offense, and all of this will fade.....until he makes the first mistake, then the Dakaters will have another go at him. But at least that will be about the actual game.
Dak Prescott was never planning on not being the Dallas Cowboys QB1 come the first game of the season. The FO was never planning on him not being that. Too many have gotten themselves all twisted up in the business that is really none of our business.
If NFL ball is played, Dak Prescott will be there, like it or not. He was never planning on being anywhere else.
