Anyone else see this story about Dak turning down endorsements so he can focus on football?

I saw it on Twitter somewhere but I'll have to find it again.

Read that he has turned down endorsements so he can 100% focus on his game.

He'll be able to sell plenty of wrangler jeans and papa johns pizzas when he's 40.

If he keeps playing well and gets a few more wins before Tony returns

then Jerry should bump his contract, plus set him up with a few non-intrusive endorsement deals. Jones is a mediocre at best GM, but he's a marketing genius with more connections than fill in the blank. Set up a few deals Dak can do when the bye week gets here.

Right now, Dak is Top 5 in jersey sales. Who woulda thunkit?

Dak is getting sound advice. Perform well. Drive up demand. Strike better deals.

I, for one, 100% disagree with this. Now is when he is the hottest. Strike while the iron is hot. Past success is no prediction of future performance.

Past success is the best predictor of future performance we have. Right now, the most important thing for him is to concentrate on football. It's easy to get distracted with off-field stuff and 17 up your career. I doubt he's turning down major money deals anyway. The endorsements will be there in January.

the flip side is that he gets hurt or injured or tony becomes some kind of iron man (snicker) and won't let him back on the field and he fades into nfl outer orbit. may want to lock up one of his better deals.

You guys have to remember. Those companies likely arent offering the world either. You can bet they're trying to "strike while the iron is hot and cheap." They know Dak wont be the starter once Romo is back and they're including that knowledge in their offer. They also know he's a rookie who may jump and a cheap offer because he knows he's on borrowed time as well.

If he holds out for 2-3 more weeks and plays well, the offers will be significantly higher. Its a good business risk at the moment for someone who is pretty financially sound right now.

Dak Prescott will be leading the Dallas Cowboys tonight in Arlington facing the Chicago Bears. While we have spotted him wearing Adidas since Week 1 and there was lots of speculation about him remaining with the three stripes following his days at Mississippi State, he formally announced it with a pair of custom Adidas Ultra Boosts cooked up by Mache. The “Hail State” custom Adidas Ultra Boosts pay homage to his days playing in Oktibbeha County for the Mississippi State Bulldogs where he earned first team All-SEC honors in 2014 and 2015.
The first images of the custom Ultra Boosts were posted by Mache a couple of days ago calling out that a pair was made for MSU head coach Dan Mullen and an alum which had many speculating.
