“It will happen,” Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott recently said of the long-planned contract extension intended on smoothing out the bloated $59.4 million cap hit in 2024 while also making the QB a “Cowboy for Life.”
But positive talk aside, there has been no positive progress. And that leads one to wonder if Jerry Jones’ front office and Prescott and agent Todd France each have their own ideas here … that in way means they might actually agree on something?
That wonder: What if Dallas is reluctant to give Prescott the monster contract of say, $60 million per year because it is maybe considering a “Blow It Up!” rebuilding year in 2025 …
While at the same time, Dak is reluctant to take any less and is therefore also eying 2025 as a start-over opportunity?
In other words, what if the Cowboys are aware of Dak possibly going free this year and are fine with it … while Prescott is happy to “bet on himself” in a way that might pay him even more on the open market a year from now?
