Need 3 years before the rules of the CBA says you can renegotiate your contract. So Zeke is within the rules given.
So LVE has to play this year and next.
Dak had to play last year. But he knows he needs a prove it year which is why he is not holding out, as Zeke already has proved it.
If Dak does not get a new deal, then he must have a great year to get what he thinks he deserves. If he held out, it would be worse for him.
Yes, I just realized the CBA allows rookies to renegotiate their contracts after their 3rd season played. Dak has played 3 full seasons. Zeke has not and likely will miss more time in the near future due to his off-the-field partying and bone-headed decisions.
Dak has finished with 2 Pro Bowl births out of the last 3 years, has led the team to 2 NFC East Conference titles over the past 3 seasons thus securing 2 playoff births, has led the team to the 2nd highest win total in the league the last 3 years, was Rookie of the Year in 2016, had the 2nd most 4th quarter comeback wins in 2018 and most the last 3 seasons combined, led the league in "tight window" throws 2 out of his last 3 years, Dak Prescott is the first player in NFL history with 20+ pass TD and 5+ rush TD in each of his first 3 seasons while Prescott was also the only player in NFL history to do so in each of his first 2 seasons, Dak also had the highest QBR out of all QBs who played in the 2018 playoffs while also securing top 10 QBR and passer rating 2 out of his last 3 seasons, Dak has shown up and played very well in every playoff game he has played in while Zeke has not, etc, etc, etc.
In other words, Dak has more than proved and earned a top 5 QB new contract. Let's get that clear already. It's just a matter of how much. Plus, Dak continues to be here day in and day out practicing with his team, while Zeke is out pouting while drinking margaritas during his inexcusable hold out.
