The Cowboys want to re-up Dak Prescott, but only on a team-friendly deal that would allow them flexibility on other parts of the roster. That was the prevailing sentiment in Friday interviews given by owner Jerry Jones and EVP Stephen Jones. 
“The only thing we need him to do is work with us a little bit, and I understand because it’s his money and it’s easy for someone else to say, but the only reason we’re having a negotiation is to talk him into all the reasons why it’s good to have a good supporting cast around him,” Stephen Jones told 105.3 The Fan. “Other than that, it would be really easy to write the check. It’s not saving Jerry and I any money. What we’re trying to do is keep this young football team together. We think it’s a really good one. We think it’s only going to keep getting better because it is young. Other than that, this negotiation would have been over with months ago. But I think he understands where we’re coming from. We understand where he’s coming from. Ultimately, we’ll figure this out.”
Ditto for Double-J – he says he’s only willing to go so far, but he’s optimistic about an extension getting ironed out.
“How close we are to getting it done is really not identifiable because it takes two, and it takes the will of two looking at it from two different perspectives,” Jerry Jones said on 105.3 The Fan. “You never know what that is, and the other one never knows where that is until it’s actually done…both parties are continuing to operate as though we’re going to get something done at some point.”
Through seven games, Prescott has led the Cowboys to a 4-3 record (good for first in the NFC East) with 8.9 yards per throw (behind only Patrick Mahomes and Kirk Cousins). The mark Prescott likely has in mind: Russell Wilson‘s league-leading $35MM/year average.
Bye bye Dak. Unless agent and Dak realize they won’t get 40 million a year like he was offered by Dallas. Will some team get desperate and pay more ? Looks like eagles regret wentz (wince) contrast
What are you talking about?
Wentz has been playing as well as he can with awful receivers. Just about every analyst considers him a top 10 QB still
Maybe based on potential, but not stats. He’s not a $138,000,000 QB this year. They overpaid, it’s fine, it happens. But let’s all be sure we call a spade a spade.
Nobody is regretting the Wentz contract. At least no one with a functioning brain.
Mikel, where did u pull that $40 MM figure from? Dallas didn’t offer him that much. He’s happy in big D and Dallas is happy to have him. He’s not going anywhere.
It’s tough to say because it’s not my money but Dallas has a great young nucleus of talent. You can reference what happened in Seattle when a QB gets paid a market setting contract and the team had to make a lot of cuts elsewhere. There’s no way they keep Dak, Cooper, Vander Esh, Smith, Elliott, etc plus their line the guys don’t make sacrifices. As a team guy hopefully he considers that in his negotiations. That combined with the fact that he won’t be anywhere near as good if he signs with Jacksonville next year- no offense.
Dak is a good QB but just like Romo he needs to realize that taking a team friendly deal might be his best shot so he can get guys around him. Brady is one of the lowest paid elite QBs he gets it.
Seattle got rid of one player that might of had a little too do with Wilson’s contract. Clark other than that they got rid of some older players that could be replaced by younger players. I also think they are doing just fine without him. Plus they turned that trade and 4 picks into 12.
Here we go again…. vs teams .500 or better this year 1-2 record 3TDs 5 INTs and in the one win (Philly) 239 yards 1 TD 1 INT. It’s looking like he’s going to be around 30 TD’s 20 INT’s this season, 40 million? Delusional
Just stop. Small sample size.
Wentz does not have Trash WR does he his miss Djax speed absolutely let’s give them time to Get Healthy I would Give Dak 5 mill And Free Wendy’s For Life Take it or Leave it
Only if he agreed to get the child size frosty and not upsize the meal.
