The Dallas Cowboys are reportedly working toward a contract extension with quarterback Dak Prescott that would "approach $30 million annually."

Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported the update Tuesday and noted the Cowboys have made "more progress" toward a new deal with Prescott than with wide receiver Amari Cooper, whose demands have been "shockingly high."

Hill also noted the Cowboys "seem to be nonplussed" about making Prescott the highest-paid player in franchise history.

Note the word "could" gentlemen. Could does not mean will and $26 mil is "approaching". Depends on your impressions of "could" and "approaching"

We assumed close to 30.. Next season it will be the norm for a starter. Was hoping for 25-27...

If they're talking about "$30 million a year", I can see why they'd be "making progress". I'd be all over a deal like that too!

:laugh:

Likely just finishing loose ends. The guaranteed stuff.

$29.5M is approaching it.

How much do they think they're signing Cooper for? and how long before homers say we dont need a #1?

reddyuta · May 7, 2019

so i was right,it is close to 30 than 25.They should do it asap or it will go beyond 30 if he plays well this season.

I figure that the team will likely try to guarantee just three years like they did with Lawrence and give themselves an out if things should somehow go south.

It makes me think about the reasons why the Raiders didn't want to re-sign either Mack or Cooper in that their agent was looking for maximum money for both and was noted as difficult to work with.

Remember those heady days of February 2019...when many Zoners were convinced Dak wasn’t gonna get more than $20-$22mil, tops?

Guess what, honeys...

The last 25 years of this type of deal have not worked so well. Signing a average QB to a long term deal just isn't smart. at 30 Mil it's plain stupid

Worth every penny.....

Cooper has the Jones family by the footballs. He is 24 years old and they traded a first round pick for him. He wants to be the highest paid reciever in football. Cooper and Dak will break the bank.

That was before QBs like Wilson started signing 35+mill dollar deals...

Honestly Id be ecstatic if we can get a deal done at around 26-28mill a year... The cap will keep going up and guys like Pat mahomes is fixing to break Wilsons deal and prbly get closer to 40mill a year

Little nugget stuck in the article is that Coop trying to get paid also.
