So you expect Lamb to hold out once the season starts? Not a chance. And if he skips training camp and preseason he’ll have to pay millions in fines. No win situ for Lamb unless the Cowboys bid against themselves like they did with Dak.
Players on rookie deals still get forgiveness so he can get those fines waived once Jerry caves.
CD played 4 years already and was a top top 100 player for the last three. There's no way he's playing on the 5th year option which is basically a one year prove it extension.
He's already proved himself, you either sign him or trade him
He will copy the Martin play book. Did Martin get fined?
Take all of the reps at training camp. Do not let your potential replacement get any starting reps. Then threaten to sit a week before week 1.
GM Jethro knows it's not personal, it's just business.
Then expect Micah to do the same the following year.
Since Martin wasn't on his rookie deal he had to eat the fines (no forgiveness on the new rules for non rookie deal holdouts) but the people that where whining about him having to pay fines are penny smart dollar dumb. Is eating a million or two in fines worth getting tens of millions more in guaranteed money ?
