Would Dak's agent put pressure on Jones by holding out of TC?

[Steve007]

is it possible that Dak’s agent, could really put the pressure on the Jones clowns by holding him out of training camp and into the season?

We couldn't be so Lucky.

 

[Reid1boys]

i know that, but do you think that is a likely scenario?

not a chance in hell. He is under contract. Holding out would get him fined and that money cant be forgiven.

 

[Streifenkarl]

I wish.

A year early without Dak on the field would be great.

This could backfire though. Have Lance lose his first couple of games and they're back in panic mode.

Instead of knowing that this is part of the development process I fear they will feel the media hawks in their necks and crawl back to Dak.

Heck if I saw Trey making good progress on the field I wouldn't mind a losing season as the start into a new era. I doubt the Jones boys have the patience though.

And then there's the not too unlikely scenario that TL just sucks. Would they have the guts to go with someone else when Dak's ready to go?

This would be a wonderful dream. Unfortunately, Dak will not hold out during the season, if he does he does not get paid.

A gift to Jerry and the team.

If a team doesn't want to extend you, it's a gift to hold out camp and games to let them recoup money from you.

From Dak's side, I don't see Dak doing it. He didn't holdout while making 2mil in his 4th season.

Not going to happen, in the new CBA the penalties were raised to such a high level that no player will ever hold out (like up to $100k a day).

 

[LysleE]

We fans aren’t that lucky…and I don’t think his agent is that stupid to advise Dak to hold out. It’s not like the team had a significant drop in performance when Dak was out with his ankle injury; so he is clearly not indispensable.

does that include training camp?

I don't see that at all......
Holding out means they are not meeting his contract demands. I think he will ask for a trade before it gets to this point. Honestly, just as much as fans want him gone, I'm not sure Dak isn't ready to move on just as much.

Sidenote
Remember Dak's last public appearance a couple of weeks ago? He talked about his new baby and touched on the contract issue. He mentioned the issue with the cap hit ( think used the term numbers) and how he understood so they will do something.

Then Jerry comes out the next week and tells us they need Dak's extension to field a good team that will compete this season.

Well it just hit me..........the adjustment was the small restructure that reduced his cap hit to $55M from $59M. Just me, there is no question they are officially in a dogfight and neither side give a damn about the fans.

***** Jerry and Stephen refusing to put winning above trying to stick it to Dak
***** Dak being greedy

I will wait and see what happens before training camp but from the look of how things are RIGHT NOW, I doubt we win more than 7-8 games.

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

I don't disagree that they need to move on at some point. A lot of you forgot the garbage that came after Aikman and before Romo.

The garbage never left.

I doubt if they do that. no extension talks have been had. QB market goes up. he saw a 35 year old QB, who is about the same as him, coming off injury get 45. so he is thinking he is at least that plus 10. holding our would cost him money per game. and it will lower his money value. he will come out and play hard, because he is playing for his next contract.

 

[slick325]

I'm surprised he isn't contemplating seeking a trade. Dallas has made no real effort to improve the team. The GM says the HC, QB, and team will have to "win with less." The entire coaching staff is in a lame duck year. The team seems ok with the QB being in a lame duck year.

He should seek a trade before draft day. But, somehow the idiots in charge would botch that too. Smh

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

I doubt it because one of Dak’s selling points is how great of a leader he is. So when people want to talk about his poor record against playoff teams then it gets thrown out, “but he’s a leader “. I doubt France would want to tarnish that part of Dak by making him look selfish. I could backfire

I'd sure like to know what makes Dak some supreme "leader".

Shows up for work everyday? Has picnics....er I mean workouts on his ranch?

I don't get it. He doesn't HAVE to be, but special mention about it? Weird.

Oh no. Not THAT routine. Play hard for the contract then coast. We've seen it before.

He should be "playing for his contract" every second.

 

[Havic]

No way dak leaves 55m on the table by sitting out

A holdout is to get a new deal now. If their intention is to move on from Dak, why the hell would he hold out? He'd just be losing money he'll never get back.

No.

I do not see this as a viable option.

Dak hold out........ .....Players like Zeke (who Jerry knew was carrying the Daktrash) and Martin can hold out as they have something Dak doesn't.............TALENT!

that's what happens to most players in the last year of their contract. unfrotunately

Please hold out. We don't have to pay him while he does.
