He would welcome being benched. It would be obvious to the entire league he’s not playing because Jerry Jones can’t force him to rescind the NTC. The Cowboys are already gaining the reputation as a team that does not want to pay star players. Too many good players have had to threaten or actually hold out to get the deals they want. Being spiteful towards Dak because you were stupid enough to grant him the NTC would tarnish Jerry’s reputation further. And there are 52 other players on the Cowboys roster. How do you think they’d feel about playing for a team so dysfunctional it purposely benches it‘s best QB because the team has regrets over a contract they agreed to. You’re an embittered fan. You just can’t get past Dak is the Cowboys quarterback again this season and if he doesn’t get a deal he likes from Jerry he’s simply going to leave. It eats you up that after that loss to the Packers Dak is still smiling. He’s being paid a lot. He’s going to be paid significantly more on his next contract. Yes, the Cowboys lost in the playoffs, but Dak Prescott, he comes out of it all smiles and wealthier than ever. The Cowboys will get a third round compensatory draft choice if he leaves. You don’t like that. It hurts. But Dak and his agent have beaten the Hall of Fame owner of the Dallas Cowboys. Badly. And there’s nothing Jerry can do about it, without Dak’s expressed consent. No trade, no “back door deal” although, ironically, that’s where Dak and his agent gave Jerry the last deal they signed.
