Why Dak Prescott will begin a hold-out in Oxnard should this happen

The ultimate game of Texas Hold’em between QB1 and The King of Leverage

If Dak Prescott does not receive a contract extension before the start of this NFL season Trey Lance and Cooper Rush lovers may get their prayers answered.

Hold Out Hold Out, We Them Boys

Let’s be realistic. Do you think Dak Prescott would play in the last year of his contract without any further financial security moving forward? I don’t. This could go 1 of 2 ways.

One, Jerral will stop the cap and finally cut the check while in Oxnard at camp in August, or two, DAK will hold out and we will hurry RUSH or LANCE into the starting lineup come WK1. Why? Money talks.

The poker table at the Winstar Casino features a game of Texas Hold’em. It appears as if both DAK and Jerral are active at the table in the game. Micah Parsons patiently awaits his turn in the background while sitting at the bar.

Jerral is the “King Of Leverage.” Just ask The GOAT, Emmitt Smith, back in 1993. After he taught us the definition of “Holding For Your Value” with his holdout could we see a similar situation this fall with DAK? The highest-paid QB in the NFL this fall?
