This is an immeasurably stupid approach by Prescott's camp.
"If he continues to perform as he has, he stands to earn considerably more..."
I don't know about that. First, the cap needs to continue to grow, which is likely but still.
Secondly, if his performance is of status quo...building stats against weaker teams and when down several scores...sure, someone may want to pay him...BUT...that also implies he still hasn't gotten deep into the playoffs, and that's the key.
Playoff success isnt fully in Prescotts hands, and if he doesnt achieve it, and being that much older...I'm not so sure it's not the best move to grab as much as you can right now.
How many NFL players have become wealthy on a THIRD NFL contract as opposed to a second?
What about injury preventing him from him getting that third contract?
Maybe they cash in, but it sounds like pure greed to me, because Prescott and his next several generations can be financially set with what Jones is offering now....and they are balking.
I just dont see greed working out, because that's really all it is, and not smart business.
Reality is that its very very smart of Dak's camp.
