Dak Prescott remains satisfied with focusing on his preparation for his contract year.
The Dallas Cowboys, known as “America’s Team,” find themselves in a challenging situation with their franchise quarterback, who is poised to secure a potentially record-breaking contract.
During the Dallas Cowboys OTAs, Dak Prescott has maintained a positive presence, contrasting with the
dissatisfaction expressed by his teammate, CeeDee Lamb. Historically, star players have often held out from training camps to negotiate better deals, leveraging their invaluable performances.
However, Prescott is in a strong negotiating position with the Cowboys. He remains focused on preparing for his
contract year and has no intention of making a statement by withdrawing from the OTAs before the mandatory minicamp.
Prescott’s primary focus is on getting ready for the 2024 season, aiming to keep his value high.
Former NFL Scout John Middlekauff suggests that Dak Prescott’s desire for a top-dollar contract is driven by ego
and respect among his peers. Middlekauff believes Prescott’s demand for high pay is about being on par with other
top quarterbacks, making his case more complicated. Prescott expects to be paid more than recently signed
quarterbacks like Kirk Cousins and Jared Goff. Ultimately, it will be up to Jerry Jones to decide if the Cowboys will
meet Prescott’s financial demands. Stephen Jones mentioned that the team was prudent in free agency, saving
money for new contracts for players like Micah Parsons, Prescott, and CeeDee Lamb.
