What does Dak Prescott and Russell Wilson have in common? They both were 3rd/4th round picks that because of their success at QB as rookies allowed there teams 4 years to stockpile talent (draft, FA, re-signings) to challenge for a Super Bowl.
The difference is that Pete Carroll is a better Coach/GM than Jerry Jones. 4 years on Russell Wilson rookie deal the Seahawks went to 2 Super Bowls and 4 straight playoff appearances. The players he accumulated prior to getting his QB and the players drafted/signed after allowed this to happen. Even after rebuilding, the Seahawks are a team that is contending for a Super Bowl consistently in the playoffs 8 of 10 with Carroll as HC and 7 of 8 years with Russell Wilson at QB.
Jerry Jones had the same opportunity hitting a double with Dak and Zeke in 2016. However he did nothing to move the team from 2016. He got rid of Dez, kept Jason Garrett as Head Coach, did not sign any defensive free agents to move the team forward, let all the starting LBs (excluding the injured ones) , S, and CBs walk, traded away CB Chavarius Ward, let the Lions get CB Micheal Jackson, and gave away his 2017 no.1 draft pick freely to the Dolphins in 2019.
So why would and should Dak Prescott take a discount on his contract to get to a Super Bowl allowing Jerry "jocks and socks GM" Jones to build a team around him? Jerry Jones has a 25 year track record of not getting to a Super Bowl as GM. In fact Jerry did not build around Dak, he subtracted from Dak.
So a home town discount was not earned by GM Jerry Jones and Dak Prescott should hold out for the bank.
