Why Dak isn't holding out?

[PAPPYDOG]

What is Dak and his agent waiting for?They know its now or never for his new 30 million $ contract and so far its business as usual. Why isn't Dak holding out like Zeke?

Personally their losing half the battle and not calling Jerry to the table by holding out.
Are they afraid they don't have the demand from other teams in a possible gone wrong hold out scenario?

Does Dak agent understand that if the upcoming season is not Dak friendly his negotiating position will be for the dogs come next off-season?

So its August the 8th and Dak and his agent now have a new twist in Zeke's holdout.

Zeke is forcing the issue as he did not want to become Dak's patsy(wasting his career and being used up and thrown out like yesterdays garbage) while keeping Dak under center somewhat respectable.

Zeke is telling the world PAY ME NOW or kick-off without me.Seems Zeke is pretty positive that Dak isn't up to the task to win without him or else his hold-out would not be a option for Zeke.

If Dak is the leader and Franchise QB some of you here are selling daily why is he at camp?


Why is Dak accepting this insulting posture from the FO and ready to play for 900k.

P.S. Please don't give me the Leadership sauce or that Dak is nice guy as Money is King ya even in the NFL!

Dak Has integrity, he is honoring his contract. He can’t afford to lose endorsements. It’s an honor to play for the Dallas Cowboys not a right.

A leader leads by example.

Dak has a brain and Zeke oh well.

Very different situations on many levels

Dak is a QB. They are the highest paid in the league.
QB's become more valuable as they get older. RB's become less valuable quickly.

This isn't that hard.

It is risky on Dak's part. I do appreciate him showing up for camp and not making a stink. He is the most underpaid guy in the league because he's the Dallas Cowboys starting QB making less than most punters.

A year no different than the last 20 games isn't going to help his case. The red zone has to change. The accuracy and consistency over the middle has to improve. By today's standards, his offense is perfect. No excuses.

Mike Fisher graded his camp so far as a 'C'. Laufenberg said his play was "fair." I know it's only camp, but is he feeling the pressure right now? Is this just learning the new offensive tweaks?

Makes you wonder if Zeke's holdout has completely ruined his agent's plan.

Dallas just might get another free look at him this year.

 

[PUSHfold]

Because Dak's not a d-bag.
What Zeke's doing is incredibly selfish.
Zeke should have just waited, he was always going to get paid. Now? I'm not sure anymore(at least here), if I was Jerry and went to war for him against the commissioner like Jerry did I would be very angry. I wouldn't want a scum bag like that on my team. I would let his punk *** sit or trade him ASAP.

 

[Batman1980]

Dak wants to get paid but at the same time he wants to be the best player he can be so he's there putting in the work. Zeke is a crybaby man child and I don't see that changing.

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

The QB market is a lot better than the RB market. Teams have shafted RB in recent years. Not saying it's not justified given the volatility in RB performance but Demarco Murray got lowballed after having a career year here for example.

Vet QBs hold out? Trying to think of a time I recall that happening.

 

[Buzzbait]

Yup, "and Zeke.....oh well"

Because it’s unprecedented to not have signed him going into the first preseason game of the final year of his deal.

 

[Batman1980]

Yup, it's pretty much guaranteed at this point he'll have a new contract by the time we take the field against the G-Strings. Question now is how much cash will it be. I hope $25 million a year. Dak wants a lot more. Hopefully it'll be somewhere in the middle.

Dak has no grounds not to show up, because then he knows the back up can very well take his job. He didn’t even let Cooper Rush get any snaps to close out 2017 and 2018.

Please. Mike White and Cooper Rush are not ready to guide this team for 16 games unless our goal is a top 5 pick.

Either is Dak, without Zeke.. they all got the same excuses..

And a top 5 pick to get a legit QB isn’t a bad thing anyways.

Haha there is no chance that Rush or White could take Daks job. Rush didn't get any snaps in 17 or 18 because we had a chance at the playoffs. The fact anybody thinks Rush or White could take Daks job at this point is absurd and down right stupid.

 

[Einstein]

Maybe Dak feels like he is playing really well right now and doesn't feel like he is taking a risk by betting on a sure thing (himself). Also, I'm not sure Zeke feels like he carries Dak, Zeke just wants his payday for an undervalued position that don't often get large second contracts while he is still in his prime.

 

[JJHLH1]

Dak is a leader who knows how to conduct contract negotiations while also working with teammates and coaches on the field. If any player in the league has a right to complain about his contract it’s Dak, but he never does.

Philly, we were already out of the play-offs and playing against third-string scrubs that the Eagles player, because the latter was resting for the play-offs and the Giants game last year we already qualified. Why do you even respond with such ridiculously absurd errors?
