It’s almost the end of August, and the defending NFC East champs still don’t have their lead running back in the fold. While Ezekiel “Zeke” Elliott is holding out to cash in, so can DraftKings Sportsbook customers.
For those who have bet Dallas to buck the trend and repeat as division champs, DraftKings will offer a $5 free bet for every week Zeke Elliott holds out. Given the recent comments from Jerry Jones, that might be a while.
Currently, at DK Sportsbook, the boys are:
• Second choice to win the NFC East at +155.
• Behind the favored Eagles, listed at -125.
Accessing the offer takes a little work:
- Head to DraftKings Sportsbook using our exclusive bonus link.
- Go to promotions, then DK Special.
- Then opt-in to activate the promotion.
- Bet at least $25 on the futures market by Sept. 2
No free bet will be available for Dallas’ bye week (Week 8). Also, teams hedging and backing any of the other NFC East teams won’t be eligible. DraftKings Sportsbook has made NJ sports betting online a lot more interesting, especially for Dallas fans.
The Cowboys and Elliott aren’t even close to a new deal, according to Executive Vice President Stephen Jones. But, Jerry Jones is confident an agreement can be reached with the holdout running back before missing the regular-season opener.
Jones seems cool and calm; however, everybody remembers the “Zeke who?” quote. Even though some thought it was disrespectful, Jones had to explain himself once again.
“Look, I’ve earned the right with Zeke, to joke. Period. I’ve earn that.”
Jones ended the interview,
“The team takes precedent at a point over the opinion or the demand of the individual. The team takes precedent. And I’ve got the backbone to keep it that way.”
We’ll see, Jerry Jones. We’ll see.
