He's holding out because he's frustrated with his contact. Period. There is no reason to quantify it in different ways. He wants more money. That's it.
I'm frustrated because he has no one to blame but his lame but excuse of a players union. So many issues in today's NFL and a lot of it is because this union is just terrible. Hopefully this next CBA this union will actually negotiate a good contract for it's union members.Because if it's really only the 2 year part that's getting to you maybe take a look at this. Better to understand a situation before lashing out:

If this was his last year I doubt he gets all this attention, but as it stands he's taking a massive cut compared to his peers and market value (the term used around here to justify highest paid salaries for average players) when he enters his 5th year, a year he has no control over if he were to meet or exceed expectations, which he has.
Just saying...

Not frustrated at all. I'm enjoying the extreme reactions.
I didnt selectively miss anything. Just trying to understand your definition of a super bowl bound team, which you call this team, that somehow loses all hope when a rb goes out. You said the window closed with him out. As great as he is it just means we have too many significant weaknesses for a rb to be the sole reason the window closes.I also said a RB alone should not depend on it, or did you selectively miss that part?
But Zeke makes this offense goes, and until Dak shows he really can carry the team. For which he did against the Giants last year without Zeke in a meaningless game.
but until he shows that on a consistent basis. Then yes that window may be closed or in the "process" of being closed. Until proven otherwise.

I want the best team on the field. I also understand it's a business for some first. Unlike most it seems I'm ok with that.Yeah, I just want the season to get here, and they field a team of the current players on the roster. And se what happens. We could, and probably will be pleasantly surprised. But until we see Pollard, or Morris play, I think many will be a bit nervous. I know I will be, but then again if Zeke is there, I still would be, as awe have no idea how this will be with Moore calling the plays yet.

We keep winning the wrong kind of attention.I just don't like seeing this be the #1 topic on talk radio and TV day after day, its gotten old. Everyone is speculating and no one really knows how this will turn out but the Cowboy haters are loving it.
What frustrates me about Zeke is his slow maturity rate.
But you're ignoring market value as well since his fifth year would be considerably lower than what RBs are making this year and even lower for 2020.
