Dak Prescott played the long game in his contract chess match. With his current deal clocking out after the 2024 season, Prescott’s no rookie when it comes to negotiation tactics. Last offseason, he pulled a savvy move by pump-faking contract talks, letting other QB studs like Hurts, Lamar Jackson, Herbert, and Burrow spike the market.

The tweet further stated that Jones said, “Don’t pay any attention to discussion. It’s meaningless.

The Cowboys, strapped with Dak’s $59.45 million salary-cap charge, are eyeing that extension like a crucial fourth-down conversion to keep the core players in the game.
