“According to ESPN NFL insider Chris Mortensen, Prescott's potential long-term deal saw "significant progress" recently. But one aspect continues to hold up the Cowboys' new contract with the 2016 NFL Draft's No. 135 overall pick in the fourth round.

"They had made significant progress, even as of 10 days ago," Mortensen said Monday afternoon on ESPN's SportsCenter with co-host Jay Harris. "The issue still seems to be terms, length of contract...

But they have closed the gap considerably and, of course, July 15 is a deadline to reach a long-term agreement. But the feeling I got — sometime after the draft, likely — is that a contract would be able to be completed by the Cowboys and Dak Prescott. But how things (go) in the draft — right now, that's the Cowboys' focus.“


I guess just more confirmation that it’s not the annual value but the years; thought I’d share. Mort also indicated that they’ll probably have it done shortly after the draft so looks like he’ll miss a few of these voluntary virtual offseason days.

The team just needs to come off of it already with the demand of years.

I'm always pro player when it comes to these things. But, I get where the team is coming from Stash. It can get super expensive having to re-up the QB position every two or three years.

Dak does not want to wait to renegotiate his next deal.

He has not even performed up to the needed standard. Who knows if Dak will still be wanted in 2015?

This guy comes from an overinflated vision of himself. NFL history is full of Daks.

If I was Dallas, I would say..

"Take it or leave it."

Sometimes the best thing to do is just say "No".

History is full of turning points where one side or the other refuses to budge anymore.

The Battle of the Bulge where the Allied commander told the German Panzer units " nuts" fo their demands for surrender.

When the Greeks at Thermopoli told the Persians they were not crossing the mountains to conquer Greece. They said no and built a wall with the Persian dead.

Saying no can change things in a hurry.

No Dak.

Now what?

If they give Prescott a three year deal (2020-2022), Todd will be knocking at the door of the Jones boys after the 2021 season before the final year of the deal. The cost of the position will be reset by Mahomes and likely Russell Wilson by then, so Dallas will have to top those numbers and likely add three years as an extension. So by the end of the 2024 season, the same dance will begin again.

The mistake was they stupidly waited to offer him a deal. It should have happened the second the 2018 season ended before LA and Philly extended Goff and Wentz. Remove their deals of 110 in guaranteed money on 4 year extensions and this would not have happened.
