“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.
