CeeDee holding out has nothing to do with Dak or who the QB of the Cowboys will be and everything about his optics on the team. He is the engine that propels the offense and the team has no one behind him to step into that role; no highly drafted rookies or anything, just hopes. Just like with Zeke. The threat of a holdout ruins the season so that's incentive for the front office to move on this. Plus, there's direct precedence of Dak running a show without a Tier 1 receiver and we had to trade for Amari mid-season in that case. And that was when we had Zeke leading the league in rushing. What do we have at RB now? CeeDee's value might never be higher. You strike when the iron's hot.I think Dak is done with Dallas. Jerry Jones obviously is in no hurry to sign his players to massive contracts. Prescott has one last shot at a massive QB deal. He has to realize the Cowboys are simply not the place to maximize this moment in his playing career. CeeDee can’t say for sure who his quarterback will be going forward with Dallas so he and his agent have to know right now is the best time to secure an appropriate deal. Like it or not CeeDee is now a $35 million AAV receiver. If Jerry is not comfortable with that, fine, it’s his franchise, but that requires CeeDee take drastic action. Having to hold out to get what he believes is fair will not endear the Cowboys organization to CeeDee Lamb, to his and other agents, and at some point top college players will be hoping not to drafted by the Dallas Cowboys.
