I think our QB opened his mouth too wide here.
A bit of immaturity here.

There is no way he would leave Dallas and I don't think there would be a big market for Dak Prescott.
Alex Smith got 94 Million over 4 years, 27MM on signing and 71MM guaranteed. Dak would get offers and they would be sizable.
I think 20-23 mil would be the best range to get Dak. Any cheaper would be great of course. But his market value is probably around there.
Unfortunately there are a bunch of overpaid QB’s in the league. It’s unfortunate but it’s the way it is.
Dak is an average QB. Offer upto 20Mil a year so we can keep building around him. Anything more and there is no need to extend him this year. If he wants 25+ it's better for us to keep him on the rookie deal then franchise him the next year for 30M and then decide if a bigger contract is worth it. If he was a top tier QB few would complain but he isn't and if he wants top tier $ then string his butt out a few more years and also look at what his trade value might be to a desperate team.
He still has one year left on his deal.
Dallas generally likes to extend starters during the last year of their rookie deal, but there's no rule saying they have to.
For safety, they can let him play out the 2019 season, then:
1) if he plays how they hope he will play, then pay him well
2) if he ends up middle of the pack or lower and they still have doubts of him as a true long term solution, then they can either tag him of offer a lessor deal
Now if they're already completely convinced that he is the long term answer, then go ahead and extend him like they did with Tyron, Freddy and others
Maybe so.In my opinion, If they're "completely convinced" they're playing it wrong.

Whatever he gets he deserves.He doesn't deserve much. That's where the problem will be.
The players around him deserve more money then he does since they are making him better and he isn't making anyone better.

Even before TFred and Smith got their contracts you knew you were going to get a great player whenever the time was right for an extension, regardless of any other player next to them.He still has one year left on his deal.
