Dak Prescott has been making headlines all offseason. Whether it’s an injury or demanding a contract north of $60 million a year, he’s constantly in the news cycle.

Now, though, he’s in it for a different reason. At Cowboys practice on Friday, Prescott was not seen on the field.

Many speculated that it was a contract holdout or because of an injury, but the real reason could be much weirder.

Jane Slater, a reporter for NFL Network, tweeted that Prescott wasn’t absent for either of those reasons. “A source tells me there is nothing to Dak Prescott’s absence at practice,” she wrote in a tweet. “It’s not related to a contract or any type of holdout. Why? Still unclear but also told it’s not injury related and “nothing serious at all.”

Of course, there are many other reasons a player could miss practice, but many find it suspicious that the true reason seems to be kept hidden.

“That sounds like something they would say if it was serious,” said one commenter

“This front office is a disaster to watch… painful for a fan,” said another

With the regular season just a month away, there seems to be no light at the end of the tunnel when it comes to this Dak Prescott saga.

Dak Prescott Looks To Earn Over $70 Million Per Year

When it was rumored that Prescott was looking for a new deal, many speculated that he could be aiming for a contract that earns him at least $60 million a year. That was already a steep number, but new reports have become even more ridiculous.

If that did become a reality, it’s hard to imagine it being with the Cowboys, as he would become the highest-paid quarterback per year in NFL history by almost $15 million. It would certainly reset the quarterback market.
