How do you figure?Crazy that this FO is blaming Dak for a situation that is entirely their responsibility for creating lol…
those fancy lady purses he bought to take to the super bowl. lmaoDak doesn’t care he has the bag.
I think it would be to avoid media asking same question over and over ?It’s interesting that the team would even announce this. Jerry typically would just say they are communicating with Dak to keep the talking heads going the entire off-season.
more lies??how is extending Dak a priority if they intentionally put it off?
I hope your right.A whole lot of copeium going on here.
Enjoy your last year of Dak, Dak fans!
I think it would be to avoid media asking same question over and over ?
Hope he doesIs this their pathetic attempt to play hardball? He is going to holdout.
They got owned by Dak and France in the original contract and the way the FO played that out.How do you figure?
God I hate Stephen Jones. He is worst than his father. Both are double trouble for the entire franchise for years to come.Until training camp??????? Is this true?? Why wait? I mean, what's the point ........this far past free agency and the draft? If this is true, they may as well give France a blank check coz the only leverage left will be if injury costs Dak to miss most of the season.
It appears from their perspective, that the extra cap from his extension has little or nothing to do with free agency per se but more about Lamb and Parsons deals.

Cowboys roster: How the starters would line up for a game right now
This is what the Dallas Cowboys roster would look like if they had to play a game today
Quarterback - Dak Prescott. It’s a given. The management (read: Stephen Jones) is indicating they will probably not work on an extension with him until training camp, but he is the starter no matter how that goes. He is a very good if not elite quarterback. His success and the success of the team is going to depend a lot on how well Mike McCarthy runs his offense this year.
Oh no! There are no other QBs we can pursue! Jerry is the kind of GM that would’ve signed Nick Foles to a 7 year deal after he won SB MVP in 2018. A smart front office knows when to fricking move on and find their next guy. MOVE ON FROM STAT PADDER.But he won't holdout.
He will show up and say all the right things.
Put up top 10 passing stats then hit free agency and make 70M a year.
And Dallas will get an R3 comp pick in 2026. Yay!
Dallas will have CeeDee and Micah both wanting to be the highest paid at their positions and no QB.
Fun!!!
And so easy!
Kirk Cousins is 35 yrs old and is coming back from an Achilles tear...............he has 1 single career playoff victory.If Dak wants much more than $100 million guaranteed new money, they might move on. Guess we will find out if they feel like Dak is expendable in the summer.
Everyone saying that Dak has tons of leverage is dead wrong, unless the FO is dead set on Dak being the starting QB for another 4 years at least. Dak stands to lose some very high paying endorsement deals if he tries another squad in 2025-the other team will be expecting him to produce with a likely lesser squad too. Not sure which other teams would be potential suitors next offseason. New York Giants, Seattle, Minnesota, Tennessee, Denver, and Las Vegas. I suppose Pittsburgh, but I doubt they sign anyone for big money (not how they operate). I don’t see the possibility at any other squad-and I also cannot see any of those squads spending huge cash on an aging QB that looks afraid in big games in the postseason (when the game’s outcome is still unknown).
Excellent points.If you are Dak, what is the modern way of going about this if Dak is left to play on an expiring?
Seems like he would be smart to pull a couple of fake injuries to get through the season without a serious injury.
Or do you just hold out? You get docked pay for that, right?
Or...does Dak just fall to the ground the second he senses pressure?
I just dont see a QB playing on an expiring who could lose a lot of money from a serious injury.
Maybe I missed it, but did the article have a quote from Jerry or Steven saying this or was this just assumed???This is a blogging the boys blogger connecting the dots. It’s just speculation
The NFL considers Kirk a better pure passer than DAK, smarter, better pocket awr, better accuracy etc.Kirk Cousins is 35 yrs old and is coming back from an Achilles tear...............he has 1 single career playoff victory.
He got 4 yr, $180 million ($90 million fully guaranteed).
Dak is 5 years younger, extremely durable (has started 88% of available games for his career), and has twice as many playoff wins as Cousins.
To think Dak would not get north of $200 million on the open market (with at least half guaranteed) is wishful thinking. Only question is does Dallas pay this or somebody else.
